Mine's been good, I think :rolleyes:

Bought the car with a stumble.

Off the bat, replaced:
-fuel pump ($0 - recall)
-spark plugs (~$20)
-wires (~$60)
-ignition coil after it died COMPLETELY (~$200)

Problem solved.

Aside from the ignition components, replaced:
-tires (~$300)
-winter tires (~$200)
-front brakes (~$120, my own labour)
-wheel bearing (~$50 and six hours of my finest vocabulary selection)
-front flex pipe (~$100, drove through snowbank because City plowed the main road onto our side road, no other choice, City refused to pay.)
-oil every 5,000km

All this in 10,000km. I must admit, almost all of the problems were present when I bought the car, but $1000 in maintenance over the course of two years is not THAT bad.
