change the timiong belt when it is worn, or shows cracks ect, not nessesarily a milage thing... if you dont know what to look for or just want a guid, I would guess 75,000 miles would be good. the car has power stearing if you are in one spot and you can turn it with one or two fingers.. (rather than hand over hand) abs is the same if you slam on the breaks and the wheels dont lock up, screech or leave marks it has abs
