Darn that Lexus reliability, ya should have bought a Cadillac if ya wanted problems.

I have a Chrysler PT Cruiser and a Mazda Miata. Both fun, both very reliable. I'm happy. There have been a couple of recalls on the PT, but they were about things that, only with a stretch of the imagination, could happen.
The 95 Caravan we had was just the same - never went bacjk to the dealer until about 50k miles to have some A/C and fuel filter work done.
Every GM car I've ever owned had problems every little while. And the Fords I've owned died early and profound deaths. I haven't met a Ford that could stand up to my Chrysler and GM and Mazda products.
OBTW, the Miata was a used car, low-hanging fruit that, once test-driven, had me signing papers and abandoning my buy-American preset.

Certain years of the Probe GT use a Mazda engine too.

My only problem is that I have a million miles on it (95k) from commuting from Mechanicsville to DC and then from Indian Head to Pax River and it a PITA trying to trade a car in with that mileage. Never had a "real" problem with it; it's just not practical anymore.

Great car. I had a Miata for 10 years, resentfully sold it at 120K miles when we were expecting our first child. NEVER had a problem except the reverse light switch had to be replaced twice (no big deal if you have a lift).
