Man that FX has been bullet proof for us! My wife used to have a much larger commute. A heavy foot really hits at MPG, but it's got awesome acceleration and amazing handling.

At 100k I replaced the belts, which were easy (plan on this soon for your VQ), which has been the only major thing. Also clean out your intake manifold. It's likely coated with grease. A good cleaning makes a huge difference in throttle response.

We're at 138k miles and the only warranty work it's had is spark plug seals and a new CD changer, both replaced under warranty.
