ogawisdom: Surely I remember going for 6-7 months without visiting a mechanic!! I think the year of manufacture of your car matters too. I mean like a 1975 model can't be same as a 2003 models! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hmm.. not considering routine maintenance, my most recent wahala was last June- bad AC compressor attributed to bad pulley which was changed...I kinda regret not changing the entire compressor unit though, as the AC has started blowing hot air now. Oh, my ride is a 2003 Ford Focus Wagon. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ogawisdom: You are right on Toyotas, 6 years and 80,000 km after..... my Corolla has only been repaired once, after an extremely bad fuel experience like 4 years back. Not a pin changed on the suspension even with the bad roads, should mention though, its basically driven by me and wifey, so no driver abuse. I also pay the extra to have my scheduled service at good garages. Have a younger Hyundai, also done well but something creeps up in the suspension every 6-9 months. Nothing major but still disappointing for an SUV. 1 Like 1 Share |
