They're pretty solid compared to the last generation.

Both engines are chain now vs timing belt. The most typical repairs are link kits and rear upper control arms. The odd waterpump or alternator. Very rare fuel pump. And their PITA non-serviceable air filter (replace the housing).

They seem to be like the old Tempo's, not very good (quality,comfort,speed) but they never broke down. Now the 12's and newer with the eco-boost, you can make those really quick.
