Default Who had a timing belt failure at less than 100k miles?

Also, who has made it to 100k miles without a timing belt failure?

Manual says good to 100k miles without a change. That makes me nervous.

Your water pump will go first, and they will replace your timing belt then. =]

Default I was nervous too - did the timing belt, tensioner rollers, water pump,.....

other belt, thermostat all at once at 67,000 miles....was getting too nervous after reading posts like raveman7's about how badly our engines get f-ed with a bad water pump or broken timing belt...if you're keeping the car for the long haul, why not do it earlier - I can't see a downside
