Fun to Drive and More

I owned the es 2.0 from 175,000 km to 210,000, only problems were rusty exhaust elbow which I had to replace, and EGR valve causing low idle. I cleaned it out with some carbon cleaner and a screwdriver and it ran like new! I think it will have lots of life left if maintained with care.
