Depends if your talking an import version or aussie version?
Speaking for the aussie versions: they are great.. i've owned two.. haven't managed to snap either of them. 1st one had done about 250,000km on original drivetrain and all fine..
2nd one (my current one) has done 315,000km - 2nd engine but the rest still holds together nicely. No major rust spots, electrical problems or anything like that.
The best thing i reckon, is that they have got what you need (power steering, aircon, EFI) without the complexities of having a lot of shit you don't.
