 Owned the car brand new for about 7 years now and so far it has been good to us.  A few recalls were taken care of warranty but one major repair expense outside of warranty was the rack and pinion ($1k/incld labor) since it was leaking heavily from the passenger side.  Also, there are traces of oil leaking from the head valve gaskets after 90k.  Regular oil maintenance for both engine and transmission have been done religiously according to recommended intervals.  I'm expecting to pay another $1k @100k for spark plug and valve cover gasket replacement work.  It seems that these cars were designed to crap out after warranty and when you're done paying off the loan...SMHUpdate as of 3/16/17: (~120k)Despite the issues we've experienced in the past. Our car is still going strong and still our daily driver that fits our family's needs. Keeping up with the regular maintenance makes sure of that. This vehicle goes out on 8 hour road trips through the mountains at least twice a year and haven't had to use AAA yet. (Knocks on wood) :-)Update as of 3/2018:Car is still running smooth. Rear shocks need replacing but that is from normal wear and tear. The gas gauge experienced problems and after replacing the fuel sender units the gauge still does not read properly. Besides those issues the car still runs and I believe we will run this car to the ground despite the important convenience of having to know how much of gas you have left in your tank accurately. SMH
