Overall, this car has been fantastic! By far the best vehicle I have ever owned.
That being said, the summer of 2007, with the car at 190K miles, was expensive. Within a two month period of time I replaced: the fuel pump, the oil pressure sensor, the cabin fan, and the coolant by-pass valve.
The local Dealer did the fuel pump and oil pressure sensor ($$ ouch!) and I replaced the other two items. The two years since then have been free of any extraordinary maintenance (except a $400 timing chain replacement), as were the 7-1/2 years prior to that summer.
All mechanical/electrical items have a life expectancy, a number of things just died at about the same time. Now at 253K miles and still going strong!
