I've driven the car extremely hard from when it was new to when the engine went at 178,xxx miles. I've road tripped with the car numerous times, driven it rough off-road, and had my share of fun on snow days. This is the toughest little car I've ever owned. But, what really happened was when I let my little brother use the car during spring break to drive to wherever they went and he didn't get the oil changed when I told him to cause it was 8,000 miles since the last one and the car was low on oil so when he go back there was a knocking. As long as you keep up with the maintenance of the car, it will be fine.
