[QUOTE="dsiggi, post: 1992331, member: 25674"] I'll pipe in here albeit I'm in a Gen 2. I keep my vehicles a good long time - 150-200k miles generally, or at least they will stay in the family that long because Im not one to throw money away switching depreciating assets year after year, I have better things to spend my money on, like assets that hold and produce wealth over time. I guess I'm a minority here lol, or maybe thats just my perception :) - see comment at the end I'm 6 years and 95k miles into my Gen 2. It's had phasers and some other things , sun roof, front diff seal, sway bar link, etc. Nothing major, never left me stranded. yes Ive probably done more work on it then my past vehicles but I do off road it and am meticulous about its maintenance and fixing issues as they arise. My neighbors think its "broke" all the time, but Im always under it making sure things are fine or doing maintenance. I want a vehicle at high miles that performs like new. I have a buddy with a couple hondas and toyotas that always says" your always working on your ford". He ran his lexus low on oil after that track because "it had was full at the beginning, why check again", and his Honda CRV needs to pull the fuse for his wipers unless it's raining , then you put them in because it has some electrical gremlin and doesnt stop running. But guess what. Its "never in the shop". Perception isn't always reality. Buy a good Gen 3 from 1 owner or new, not from a dealer. Make sure you know its history and trust the owner and you will be setup the best you can be. [/QUOTE]
