All in all take care of it and it'll take care of you. I didn't do mine until almost 40k miles later after I bought the car so I was above the safe zone. I have mechanics tell me to do transmission exchanges every 30-35k miles depending on how you drive on this specific vehicle because of how vulnerable the tranny is. Also i saw reviews that it has a weak transmission. I live in Silicon Valley and have taken the vehicle to Los Angeles twice and drove all around the vicinity and got above 24 miles a gallon. Other then that I just do regular maintenance on it like shocks, struts, brakes, rotors, and oil changes and that's about it. I honestly didn't even know it was on steam and had purchased it for a lot more than 5 a while back. I had it for a while now and was pretty excited to see it go on sale for only 5. Supposedly they just reset the motor and it started working again. Displayfusion is on sale for 5 It's the best utility you can get if you're using a multi-monitor setup. Thankfully i had warranty cover it so I'm hoping it doesn't go out again. I have read a lot of reviews saying the same thing. The only real issue I've had since owning the vehicle is the electric power steering went out around I wanna say between 50k-60k miles. I am almost wish I would have bought a newer one before they stopped making them. If I had to complain the worst I could do is the headlight bulbs are not too easy to change. I have had mostly domestic vehicles and a lot of them with four drivers in the household for many years and then just in general having extra cars. This has without a doubt been the most trouble free car I have ever owned going back to my first 1970 barracuda. Should have been covered by ford but the dealer was lousy so I did it myself and they will never see another nickel of my money. Only problem I had was a sensor forget which one on the emission control system while still in extended emission control warranty period. 136,000 and the rotors have not even had to be changed. standard maintenace = fluids, bulbs,tires, and pads. It was driven 60 mile daily commute in North East PA year round for 6 years and never left anyone stranded or been stuck going over the mountain to work in the snow (used dedicated snows). Bought this car new spring 2014 from a lousy dealer but have been very happy with the car.
