But I was warned to keep up with all planned maintenance. Given how elaborate modern cars are, this is a good suggestion (very tight clearances sensitive to contamination and condition of oil, hydraulic fluid, etc). My Subaru has had some problems (VVT oil control valves (4) replacement, wheel bearing, and HVAC blower). The valves are a known problem with my Subaru, and the fault also takes out the ECU.

I inherited my mom's 2011 Versa, and I absolutely love that car (less than 60K). Hope I can keep the car going to retirement (six years). At that point we go down to one car anyway.
