Yup, about 152K miles... The motor seems to be holding up quite strong, no probs there. Mine is a 99. It could use some new bushings in the shifter soon... getting pretty sloppy (a good 1.5 inches of side to side slop) but it still shifts no problems. Clutch was done about 90,000Km ago... the clutch itself wasn't a problem, but the hydraulic throwout bearing went on it.. figured it was all apart anyway, might as well throw the clutch in. Overall, it's been a good car to us, mostly maintenance items such as tires, brakes, oil changes, etc. We bought it with 67,000Km in Oct of 2001.... I've been toying with the idea of getting something new.. the 2008 Mitsubishi Outlander has caught my eye... I dunno if I want to spend that kind of cash though.
