 I have owned this car for more than 6 years, never has any major work done on it. The only dealer repairs that I had made was a leaky crank shaft boot, and a couple of recalls. The ride still solid and sound.  I have only paid for new brakes and 4 new tires at 60,000 miles, and scheduled maintencance.  But the little stuff like the dash board back light, the hood release latch (cost $200 to replace), a broken mirror control switch ($70), were coughed out from my own pocket.  Also the car had a few glitches during the warranty period, i.e. air bag sensor, trunk lock.   I guess they should use better quality parts at the plant.   But other than these, I still like my car.
