So what, you only get 3 years maintenance / warranty in Canada? No one in the US has burned through their warranty period yet as this car came out in 2009 and we get 4 years. I would email Mike Miller who writes the tech column for Roundel and ask him to send you his maintenance schedule. It'll show you what to change and when to change it. It's an excellent resource. techtalk@roundel.org.

Outside of that, things eventually break and wear out and they're expensive to fix. But I think after 3 years the bugs have been fixed and we're looking at normal wear and tear of parts. My strategy is to set aside a couple of hundred dollars every month to a repair account. When my warranty period is over, I'll have $9600 to use towards repairs. That's probably not enough! (I plan on keeping this car for as long as possible).
