Im seriously impressed. Never would I have imagined that Chevy would build a hatch that can not only compete but possibly beat the Fit

Question: In the past I've heard that turbos tend to need replacement. I think I heard someone say around the 60-70K miles mark. Is that true? If so, why is everyone going after Turbos (as evidenced from the number of cars that come equipped with this tech)? Has reliability improved to a point where they can last a loong time with proper maintenance?
Just curious and was wondering if someone could answer.

And as time marches on, technology improves, especially the cooling technology, because heat, lots of heat, and how to manage that heat is the challenge of a turbo's longevity
I would not hesitate for a second to purchase a new turbo

Wonder how the BMW turbos are faring? Of course it'll probably be another few years before we see any possible issues with them. They seem to have rectified the HPFP issue which per BMW was happening because of the ethanol content in our fuel. Turns out owners in Europe have never had HPFP failure.
