Common Problems:
Potential issues include window regulator failures, minor electrical gremlins, corrosion on older models, and wear on suspension components due to age.
Timing Belt:
The timing belt requires periodic replacement (typically 80,000-100,000 km or 5-7 years), critical to prevent catastrophic engine damage.
