If you are driving mostly urban, which I suspect from your post (11K/yr) I think you're in for a long haul expense-wise. It is my belief that these cars do really well, and can rack up a lot of reliable miles, in mostly highway driving. Short-trip and urban use just creates more wear and tear, and they won't be as reliable as a similar asian model. My 01 LPT has 120K+ now and I use it mostly for highway trips - partly because it is so comfortable but also to keep the frequency of repairs down. Urban use is at least 2-3X harder on a vehicle than highway driving.
