This car absolutely suits my needs.
Having to do an $800 preventive maintenance procedure every 60k or so isn't a hitch in my book. At roughly 10k miles a year, $150 per year isn't so bad. Truth be told, it had the timing belt replaced at 80k, but I was having a hard time sleeping at night without me and my Indy knowing for sure what it looked like... so I bit the bullet.
As evidenced by some threads over on the General BB right now, every car has their quirks! I came from owning a performance MB where the valves had to be adjusted every so often (every 15k!), so it's just a matter of what the quirk is!
