Between the two that I've owned, I have way over 250k miles in 'em and they are awesome vehicles. Maintenance has been very reasonable although we just had to put a new alternator in the one we have now.
Pros: awesome vehicles, reasonable maintenance

Honda Element
Mileage: 402336 km
I ordered an alternator with code 07C903021N (Hitachi LR1190-907E) and I hope it is the right one, because there are many versions and the all look the same, except for the position of the B+ post and the DFM terminal connector with respect to the orientation of the cooling tubes.
Pros: ordered new alternator
Cons: many versions look same

Got it. So am I correct in thinking that these Bosch alternators have both diodes to get to DC and voltage regulators to make it a clean voltage?

Welp... the alternator AND the battery are dead. New battery is in, now to do the alternator but I need food first. I was amazed that the store had a rebuilt Bosch alternator IN STOCK
Pros: Bosch alternator in stock

My mom had a 93 Lumina Euro sedan with the 3.8. The only real serious issue it had was a failed alternator which drained the battery and almost left me stranded one night because the headlights dimmed to the point of being unusable. Other than that, yes the alignment was poor and it had some bad brake wear and warping of the rotors.
Cons: poor alignment, bad brake wear
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Lumina
