Very Reliable
If you take care of this car from the beginning and maintain well, with regular oil changes I guarantee it will take you to 400,000 miles easy. Normally the transmission will have to be rebuilt around 200,000 miles so be careful when buying one but the the transmissions do not cost much it will cost about $2,000 total to get that replaced but after that you will get to at least 400,000 miles or more guaranteed. But please if you are buying the limited version do not lift it. It is rear wheel drive why would you lift it. You can't take it anywhere. That's all I'm saying.
