three years, with 206,000 on the '97 Aero we bought used in 2000 w/ 21,000 on it. Just did the original clutch at 200k last winter.

Really well built, easy to work on, just [labor? parts?] overpriced and under advertised when new.

Not really sure what we'd get to replace it, w/ three kids still at home. A great car.
