It's my wife's car and she requires reliability so it would be the ugly cycle of replacing each car as it passes 75k miles where it seems these cars all start to fall apart.
I'll follow up on my progress as I fall into the rabbit hole! lol

It's sad really. Most everything built now is not made to last. Keep those old cars, you will never be able to replace them or find anything as reliable.
Yes, the X1 was the kid hauler and I couldn't stand thinking the family getting stranded somewhere. I fixed the oil cooler then fixed the vent valve then traded it away. We still love our X1 and miss it but we don't miss the possibility of something else breaking on a six year old car.
