Nothing has gone wrong in this car yet other than normal wear and tear. Although, the paint job is starting to come off.
The car has very good handling, and has a comfortable ride. I'm really surprised because most people say you should change your timing belt every 12,000 miles, but until just a few months ago I hadn't replaced it unless my mechanic hadn't said that if it broke it might destroy the whole engine so I decided to change it. That's what I call good craftsmanship, they really do make the engine I believe to last longer than the actual car.
Yes, you are so lucky the belt did not break.
It would have caused a lot of damage.
They don't have to design them that way, but they do.
