It is cheap compared to a remanufactured transmission. Not an old 3 speed but a modern CVT or 7+ Speed that are in 80% of cars sold in 2020. (See my thread on the 2021 Vehicle Trend Report)

The third party battery is a still a big, "what-if?" As Ecky said, they're as good as their warranty. Bumblebee might be ok, I have no idea, but aren't that much cheaper than an OEM battery that will...

A mild hybrid improves fuel economy by about 15%. A full hybrid by about 30%. No need to make theoretically calculations there are plenty of vehicles with standard and hybrid powertrains.

it's a Prius. Those that don't burn oil are rare. It's the nature of the beast. When you start and stop an engine 30 times a drive, you get a lot of heat cycles on it. Crap accumulates in the rings...

The Hondas had this option because they have a backup starter on a far less integrated drivetrain. The failure of the traction battery had little to no effect on highway economy, but it completely...
