Wow, you've done some driving. 215K and just a few wear items replaced. Good stuff!

Year: 2007 (second owner, purchased in 2009 w/20,000 km), extended warranty.
Model: LE, 5 door liftback, ABS brakes, power windows, mirrors & door locks, keyless entry.
Colour: silver
Kilometers: 67,900 km
Problems: Noticed a resonating hum when reaching speeds of 85- 90 km/hr on the highway then disappearing at 100 km/hr. At first the dealership said to "just live with it", but at my insistence for a road test they determined that it was a faulty hub (bearing) and replaced it at 20,400 km. The problem still persists!
Both side bezels became detached within a week of each other and the dealership tried to convince me that it was the result of vandalism. The plastic clip that secures them in place had become weak and cracked but the dealership refused to replace them under warranty.
Serpentine belt replaced at 60,000 km (cracked).
Replaced original tires at 67,900 km.
Lately, I've noticed my fuel economy is not as good as it once was, maybe the new tires will help.
Overall, I like the car but have problems with the dealership's attitude sometimes.

2007 Hatchback- bought brand new off the lot
63000 miles
Bayou Blue

In October 2011 @ 61000 miles I had to finally replace my battery, but not even a week later my water pump system started to fail. It was making this loud cycling sound, almost thought it was my alternator but wasn't. Fixed, fine now.
Then this month, just a couple days ago, my fuel gauge sensor crapped out on me. I ran out of gas on my way to work- that was fun.
Other than those 2 big issues, I've just had to do regular upkeep and I bought new tires at 32000 miles and need more now.

My 2008

2008 with 160k miles on it...

Only thing I have replaced (except normal oil changes and tires) is the battery which went bad...

I am about to have the belt replaced...

Other than that, it's been a great car...still gets me 35-36 miles per gallon

2007 Sedan
silver streak
2nd owner
just passed 44K miles. Only problem i had was a weird whistling noise coming from my driver's side mirror. Turns out one of the screws came loose a lil bit. other than that no issues. Not bad considering it was rental before i bought it.
