in 200,000 miles replaced the water pump and belt and one tie rod, now finally getting new front wheel bearings and a tuneup, I use synthetic oil and do not abuse the truck, which has been on the beach surf fishing and is great in the snow, I am large 6 ft 2 inches 450 lbs and I fit it just fine, sadly I do not fit in the new model.
We compared to cars costing much more, Japanese, European, and American. Better interior room than Taurus, a little less expensive and sportier driving than Lacrosse, comparable to Avalon but 5-10k less, couldn't find a better combination of room, quality, driving feel, and value.
Wonderful car all around. I have only found one small issue with this car and that would be the lack of shocks, if it has any at all, so you feel every single bump in the road. It has amazing technology in the car and I can see myself keeping this car for a very long time.
