Part of why the Insight and HCH1 are so popular in here is that when the IMA pack eventually does fail(no battery will last forever), the manual trans versions of these hybrids will still drive, unlike in a Prius, where if the traction battery dies the car becomes useless...

However I can relate to the not wanting more stuff to break/fail, which led me to my current car... crank windows, no ABS, no cruise, not much other than the bare basic equipment...
