I have the same model and had the same concern but it really comes down to maintenance. Many companies including Honda really pushed maintenance items out too far and have been pulling them back. In my research, If you want to get 300,000 miles on it i would reduce maintenance4 periods. My reduced plan: Oil instead of 7,500 change every 5,000 or less, transmission fluid instead of 45,000 miles change at 30,000, engine coolant instead of 75,000 change at 60,000, brake fluid don't exceed 3 years. Don't exceed the years for any maintenance items. I think the hybrids have the same issues plus there is a known issue of total system failures sometime at -10 degrees F or less primarily because the battery is adequate and when they fail it creates a cascade of system failures. If I bought it I would have changed the battery right away because in upstate NY we do get winter days that cold. And I hate there is no spare tire because the battery takes up that space. Note: You may also consider getting a cable the have auto stop/start default to off. It's more wear and tear on battery, starter, engine mounts, and engine than it's worth in my opinion. Easy to install and doesn't void the warranty as I understand it.

Best $25 I've spent in a while lol - installed in under 5 minutes, easy peasey. I really hate this 'feature'. The eliminator basically presses the button for you each time you start the car.
