The handles provide a handy place to which one may hang on when the

Maybe so but leasing or renting is still less expensive in the long
run, especially if you are looking for that "fresh new look" every so
often. The dealer markup on trade-ins is prohibitive.

I wish someone had told me that before I bought the one I have now. The
cost of upgrades is prohibitive and the one I have now won't let me
trade her in on a new model.- Hide quoted text -
