 I've been driving this car for about five years, absolutely no problems.  Which was a pleasant surprise considering 4 of the 5 years were from college driving, which was very tough on the engine I'm sure.  Other than regular scheduled maintenance (oil changes, filter changes, etc.) I haven't had a single problem with the car, not one.  Also, I have the v6 model, and was quite surprised at how "peppy" the car was even at high speeds.
