My Eagle Talon is starting to get rattles, you may wonder if this is a chrysler why post it here right? Well my Talon is a DSM (Diamond [Mitsubishi] Star [Chrysler] Motors) it was a joint venture between those two companies. The motor is pure Mitsubishi, it can take a beating, can be modified to twice stock output. The chassis is primarily chrysler built I believe, the drivetrain has a noise or two. But in the last 5k miles I've noticed quite a few rattles popping up. I have to start fixing them before I go crazy, takes an enjoyable trip down the drain real quick! Anyway the car itself is like new after 12years and 103k miles, but between me taking panels off, the addition of a subwoofer, and cheap plastic paneling it is starting to rattle. Also this isn't a 300k mile car, if it makes 175k then you were lucky 150k is about right. While the drivetrain and motor can go further the oddest problems start forming and every little component starts failing.

Personally I'd rather have a car that has some minor mechanical issues but can be maintained as new for decades.

I agree with you there.
