52k miles, 3 owners
Driven 3 years 10k on my watch.
one O2 sensor replaced with generic equivalent at muffler shop for $50 labor (I didn't have access to as lift)
one intake leak, resolved by independent mechanic moving parts around which cured leak.
3 trips to dealer to resolve airbag/seatbelt warning light. One I paid for, 2 dealer/PNA paid for.
Repair needed once every 9 months. No disabling failures.
Total cost in unscheduled maintenance for 3 years less than $20/month.
Enjoyment....priceless.
If you can afford the depreciation, you can afford the repairs.
