Outside of normal maintanance items, (belts/pulleys/filters/fluids/hoses) had the head gasket replaced at 150,000, only replaced fuel pump once (likely due to 90% highway miles) and a DI cassette once.
I know some folks have had terrible problems but a lot have had few issues. Helps to find an independent mechanic to keep costs lower versus dealer. If you have a 1999 model, (the first year) those seemed to have the worse record, but I had a 99 prior to this with very few issues.
Ultimately, it will come down to what you can afford, but do know one can go to the Lexus, BMW, etc., boards and see the numerous complaints from those owners about those vechiles. Good luck with your analysis.
