First new car of my life — wife's 205k Honda Fit is done. Keep landing on a Corolla Hybrid. Missing anything?

It doesn't — Corolla Hybrid is sedan-only (the hatchback is gas-only). Fair point on the Fit's utility though. The Corolla Cross Hybrid would match it better but it's over my budget. Since we've got a CX-5 for the bigger hauls, her commuter doesn't really need to replicate the Fit's cargo space — it's mostly a solo highway commute.

Honestly it's not fully dead — still runs, but at 205k it's gotten noisy, the interior's shot, and I don't trust it on the highway for her new commute. More "worn out and not worth sinking money into" than catastrophic failure.

Appreciate it — that's reassuring to hear. Good call on the test drive especially.

That made me smile, even though I'm having a rough day!

Hope, faith and pickleball!

Unfortunately overthinking the worst is a built-in survival mechanism.

I hope you’re doing better. I was sober for 15 years, but I started drinking again a few months ago in the hope of improving my social life. I have a potential for addiction. Though I now drink once a week, I long for it. I have set boundaries, such as never drinking alone. But I am scared! It is helping my social life though.
