New My '01 Lancer is similar.
I got it a year old with 36,000km on the clock. Now it's reached 108,000. Still gets the same fuel economy. Still revs hard if you want it to. Biggest expense was the timing belt which I got done a few months ago for about AU$500 - in some cars, this is thousands of dollars.

I discovered a few months ago that it likes premium unleaded. It doesn't drive any different, but it uses less. Less enough that it is marginally cheaper to buy premium!

Doesn't have a lot of character, though. It's just boring and efficient.

New Effectively described mine...
Except I bought it with 7 miles on it... with a 0% - 3 year loan.

I know its got some rear suspension bushings needing replacement, but they are fine for most driving.
