I had a 03 Arc wagon (V6) for 148k miles until it was smashed in a parking lot this fall (while parked! grr.) I had no issues with the DIC. The heater bypass valve is a known issue, and I did it at 45k. The trans. oil cooler is also an issue, but mine was fine. The big thing is the t-belt, which you already know about.
The V6 is smooth and strong, even though it has a tiny turbo. Terrific highway cruiser. Keep in mind that that the mpg's are lower than the 4 and it does not handle like an Aero.
If you like the V6, 03 is a sweet-spot year -- loaded to the gills with all of the goodies.
