great cars, they had problems with connections to the sensors at the plugs, but they fixed that with a recall. The biggest service issue is the timing belt, has to be replaced every 60,000 miles. If you do regular maintenance cars run good and last a long time. My shop we are seeing them with 175 to 210 thousand miles running fine with regular maintenance.
