Car now has almost 160k, and although I have pissed and moaned about it before, it has turned out to be a pretty reliable car .
She runs the wheels off it every day, with a hellish commute, and it does its job . Small enough to drive in the city, yet has enough cargo room to be practical . Car still runs very well and reasonably fun to drive
That's good to hear. Japanese drive much less distances than Americans and maintain their vehicles quite well. All the cars I see for sale have less than 100,000 KILOMETERS.

Used cars also depreciate like crazy here. Japanese people love new tech.
Works for me!
