 My first battery change was after 8 years. The local Costco mechanic was astounded. Other than a master fuse nothing ever needed to be fixed or replaced. Changed oil on time, rotated tires, exchanged fluids and put 110K miles in 10 years of ownership. This car easily had another 100-150K miles left in her. Alas, an uninsured motorist distracted by texting slammed into me from behind at a red light and the car was totaled. Mary a nick nor a bruise on me. I shed a few tears at the loss of a fantastic vehicle.
