The first gen ('04 to '06) are pretty bullet proof. Second gen (08 to 15) had head gasket/oil leakage issues the first few years, but '12 to '15 are okay.

I just rent a small apartment, but I do bundle. I'm just not ready to go car free. My mother died of breast cancer at my age (69), but her sister made it to 96, cancer free! If I can make it 80, that would be nice.
