At 166,000 miles after 14 years of ownership and just starting to have some non-cosmetic issues, otherwise this car has been the best one I've ever owned, almost bulletproof.
 
No gasket or oil leaks, yet. Besides the dash acne and shredding vinyl on the front seats, only real issue at the moment is power surging at 3,000 rpm in 2nd gear. Cleaned MAF. Reset ECU. Drives better, but not as good as it could be. Noticed tears in the air intake hose, ordered a replacement. Sirius satellite receiver recently died. Basically just odd annoying things that began this year. Still love driving it.

That’s good info to note. I live in Pennsylvania. My big concern is rust repair and prevention. What part of the country are you in? And have you not had any corrosion issues?
