MR, I have had this car since it was new. I am one of the lucky ones. I have had no problems except for the following: -wearables a given (tires, brakes etc.) -started burning oil at about 60K miles -new plugs every 35K or starts to run rough -new egr valve about 110K -just last week, I put a new radiator in it, end of the damn things are plastic. They age and then crack (9 1/2 years old) -new thermostat about 130K One thing to keep your eye on is the temperature gauge. Have you ever noticed the temp goes nearly into the red zone before the fan kicks in. I brought this to the attention of the dealer and they claimed it was performing properly. I think this is why my rings are burned and it is using so much oil. After I discovered the problem I found that turning on the AC would bring the fan on to cool things down. The funny thing is that once I put a coolant thermometer in it, the fan comes on sooner, about when the gauge is a little above half, not in the red zone as before. Anyway, I cannot complain. This has been a better than normal car. It still gets 40 mpg in the summer months. I just hope to get it to 200K before I give it up. Best of luck with yours. Tim, Ohio
