My car appears to have been a dealer demo from conversations w/dealer (got it secondhand). I've had very little trouble since I bought it at 79k miles, but the PO's records show many Thousands of $'s of repairs, both under warranty and not - almost everything Quasi mentions on his trouble-spots page was replaced, at least once. I imagine a demo car gets pushed pretty hard, leading to all these early failures. With all the new stuff in it, I drive gently when warming up and let spin down before shutoff, use Mobil 1 and flush the coolant+add bars leeks, and no big troubles since.
