My friend had an earlier model, like 1996. He ran a commercial cleaning biz, and towed a trailer with cleaning gear in it including a carpet shampoo machine. Over 6 years, he got over 600,000 kms out of it for only the cost of one clutch and a replacement gearbox.

Pretty good eh?

I agree with your comment wholeheartedly, I got my car new in 2002, and have never ever had a problem. Just the usual service. It is a dream car to drive.
