Straw Poll: How Dependable is Your 200q20v?

[Melguy1]

I've had my 200q20v since 1994 and I'm at 98k miles, Never left me stranded, but wouldn't start once in the driveway-bad ignition switch, that was my only tow. Several short downtimes as dealer sought parts, ie. rack or brake parts. Great car, good dealer too (Howard-Cooper in Ann Arbor).
