My question is, what is the long term future for the car? The wife loves it but I have finally convinced her it needs to go before it blows up on us. To get the transmission re-built would cost about $3-4k apparently. I would rather spend that money changing to a more reliable car with a standard auto transmission.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

First I'd ask myself what an 02 with 150K on it is worth ? $7000 to $8000 or so. Then ask what you want to spend on a different car, and can you guarantee that car will be trouble free ? If, and I highlight if, you need gearbox repairs to the Jazz, it will probably give you another 150K km's plus, no problems.
