No issues with the air suspension on my 2004 Twin Turbo. It is almost 220K miles. I use it daily as my wife is less than 5ft tall (and not getting any younger)... so she has to climb up when the suspension height is set to normal. I set it to loading for her ingress/egress. I did the same for my mother before she died. She was taller (about 5'7", but quite heavy and could not get in easily at normal height. She did fit pretty well in back though. Lots of room back there and its own heat/cooling as well as heated seats.
I raise the ride height to high when I have to get under it to work on it, change the oil, etc...so I don't have to jack it up.
I have done minimal maintenance/repairs and the car has held up well. I have used it to tow cross country quite a few times without issue. I would probably get a new one, but this one still looks and runs good and almost worthless to sell trade.
The Turbo version engine have had a better record of engine longevity (no bore scoring issue). Sadly, I have yet to come across a shop that specializes in rebuilding these engines/transmissions. I find it hard to get anyone to work on mine locally and generally have to do it myself. The same as with my air cooled.
