No worries. I carry a portable jumpstart kit and a AAA+ card. Besides I use
mine for City driving in Baghdad-by-the-Bay. The auto is fabuloous iin
traffic and in them thar hills. Have you ever tried painting your nails,
eating a burger, flossing your teeth, surfing the net, reading directions,
using the phone, and trying to drive at the same time? I'm not advocating
that but it will be much easier if you didn;t have to shift at every stop.

If I need to go someplace remote, I can always take the Syncro 16 with the
1.9TD AAZ.
