I plan on keeping mine for about another 4 years, if the value is **** (which it will be) then i will probably keep it as a second car til it dies.

2.4 ss here and goin strong. several years on the loan and I wouldn't trade it if I could. I like this car a lot, and think for the price it's unbeatable. maybe several years down the road when my price range goes up I'd try something different, but I have absolutely no complaints about the 'balt at all. and JPizzle...you have a 2.4L... turbo it, you'll get better results for less hassle/money.

Well, I beat the **** outta my car and it seems to make all kinds of funky noises and sputters and jerks and jolts already. I have a 5 year loan and because of depreciation I would have a huge payment on any car if I would try and buy another one, meaning I'm stuck with this one. So, YES, i would have to say that I will have this car till it dies...lol

I always keep my cars for a long time. My last one was a Beretta which I bought brand new and drove for 13 years and 318,000 miles until some 18-year old kid wrecked it for me.
