Replaced starter motor at 110,000k.

General comments?
I really like this car for it's handling and comfort, and if it wasn't for all the mechanical trouble I would highly recommend it.
However it has left me and my family stranded on more than a few occasions.
I bought it used and paid only $1400, but have easily put in double that on repairs. Luckily I'm a do-it yourself kind of guy, otherwise I may have spent up-wards of $5000 for labor...
