What would you recommend I eat there? I have been to Culver’s several times and have yet to be impressed. Please, show me the way.

I haven’t done the research into the drivetrain in either car, but on the face of it I’d think your greater risk of pricy repairs are in the Avalon. If the engine in your Kia does die, I have to imagine replacing it would still be cheaper than replacing the engine in the Avalon for the added complexity of the hybrid system.

You do you though. If your heart says you gotta have that 250k mile former taxi Avalon, enjoy it.
