Let see, since I bought the car with 62,000 miles on it and it not has 96,000. I have had the following repairs/problems.
O2 sensors replaced twice, spark plugs and wires replaced.
Stock catalytic converter
stock Muffler replaced due to hole from some road junk in a construction site
transmission, flywheel, etc(covered under extended warranty)
fuel filter, once
air filter, once
pinion seal on rear axle leak and now some other problem with the pinion seal
Rear mail seal leak, oil pump seal leak
Stock 2 piece driveshaft replaced with 1LE aluminum D.S. (just for weight reduction)
stock alternator died and then replaced with high amp alternator
drive belt worn and replaced, once
rotors and pads worn/warped many times
Battery went dead because of defective battery
Tranny mount needs to be replaced.
Overall these cars are very reliable, it has never left be stranded and even though some of these repairs were expensive (rear main seal) I still love the car and the way it handles/performs. They are definantly reliable and overall a good car to have. I've driven through a 8 inches of snow without to much problems. The car is good but things break with age and I sometimes drive the car hard so I expect that sooner or later things will break. Most of the problems I have had came right after I bough the car probably because of the previous owner, etc. I take great car of my car and always do regular maintenance and plan on keeping this car a long time because I know it can take the punishment and keep going and asking for more. Even after the old lady hit my car it was still in great condition and had minimal problems that were easily tweaked out. Great car but how well you take car of it and the way you drive it always matters. Most of the stuff is just regular maintenance repairs nothing more nothing less.
