155,000 Miles here. Overall it's a very reliable car and a pleasure to drive. There are quite a few rattles and squeaks that I have been going after little by little. I absolutely love driving the car and the fuel economy. I am an avid DIYer whenever I can.

-Light bulb fell out of h7 socket and melted headlight housing. Replaced with aftermarket DEPO halogen headlights-both sides and had them protected with self-healing coating. Prior to replacement, I had all sort of lamp malfunctions.
-Gap between hood and left fender after changing out headlights.
-Brakes and rotors replaced at about 120,000 miles
-Changed transmission fluid at 125,000 miles, running very smooth now.
-CEL Replaced exhaust backpressure sensor at 130,000 miles because the hose was filled with sticky soot. Lower bolt of the exhaust backpressure sensor tube had to be retapped.
-CEL Four fuel injectors replaced at 140,000miles.
-Coolant leak (slow) probably associated with recent EGR cooler recall since I could not locate the source of the leak.
-Rear Wheel bearing went bad at 145,000miles. Replaced wheel hub/wheel bearings since the mechanic quoted basically two for one price so I let him do both.

Up next:
Universal flex disk (giubo) to make the drivetrain smooth as new again.
Rear differential fluid change
Transfer case fluid change
Rubber bushings will all be conditioned next time I get underneath the car.
