Decent on gas ? Depends on your definition. 19 highway/15 city
in 2 WD. Mine was virtually maintenance free until the powertrin
warranty ran out. Blew a head gasket @ 35k. There were 3 recalls
that the dealer took care of also.

What about those timing belts? How often do they need replaced and is
this a big expense?

105,000 miles. Probably about $250 to $400 to replace.

Nothing is maintenance free, unless you decide you're going to skip oil
changes and other assorted fluid checks and lubes, new tires, etc.
