Aside the issue I had with my valve recall work ( not going into that here) my car has never had an issue, doesn't consume oil, gets 34MPG highwys, 29 city, and never is a burden to drive.

I wouldn't question this car making it to 250,000 or even 300,000 before the rust comes to claim it. I may even get the rust fixed if it seems worth it.

I have read many car forums and participated on 3 but have never seen such a group of guys that seemingly go out of their way to find things to worry about as the crowd on here. This continuous quest for problems goes back well before the recall so people can't even say that they have a right to be worried. They will totally disregard stories like this yet fall in line to support some guy that spun a bearing but didn't even bother to check his oil for a year.
