 Bought with 8000 miles in 05.  Still have with 115000.  Only one issue and that was a new ignition core (cheap repair).  Live in WY and commute through blizzards and have never been stuck or stranded with this great little car.  I drive it and leave the F150 in the garage when its icy.  Did not buy fancy, manual windows, locks, etc. maybe that why no problems.
