What you neglected to tell everyone is that you HAD to change the timing belt at 198,000 miles because it broke:

And that was AFTER you were warned. Going more than 60,000 miles on a belt is foolish and asking for trouble.

Yes, they are reliable cars but they are even more reliable when you maintain them properly.
