 I bought the car for the the reliabillity of it's engine,  which has proven to be reliable beyond 130,000 and still going.  As with ALL cars things WILL go over time, none of them major.  Taking care of it and replacing the transmission mount at 100k (which is the cause of uncontrolled reving,  and gear slip)  Gear slip is also caused by finicky INPUT and OUTPUT speed sensors. In either case the problem goes away when fixed.
