They are right about the electrical. My 99 replacements have been; 3 ECU's, 1 heater blower motor, 2 SIDs and numerous headlight replacements (until I defeated the DLRs) and a horn assembly. DI lasted 110,000 miles before becoming the spare. Gas mileage is wrong from their report. I am getting 26 mpg with an average of 30 mph on the SID. Still one of the best cars on the road.
