It's just like anything else. If you take care of it, you most likely won't have issues. Bought mine used at 30k, currently has 75k and only issue is the hood bubbling (which practically every '06 has!). I'm sure the Florida heat doesn't help.

I told my GF that her Scion will be the last foreign car in our driveway that we own.. She owned it before I met her. But I just have a gut feeling I'll have to change my stance as her car will far out last mine... I' confident the engine in my stang will run 150k but I may be driving a shell of a car at that time.
They never rattle, never break down, and nothing comes apart, etc. That is why we've kept going back over and over. Love my Titan!

I'm sitting pretty at 65k now too, but my interior and exterior still look pretty much new. Only problems are peeling radio buttons (fixed with plastidip) and theres a little spot on my seat where the red dye has rubbed off.
I had the bubbling/pitting steering wheel emblem and lumbar support fixed under the extended warranty.
Everything else on this car has held up well except the mother ****ing charging system. Do not even get me started on that ****.

For your controls in the door, mine broke off as well (at 135k miles.. last car) I took the door panel off and saw it was glued and broke. I used a flathead screwdriver to remove the glue. I then used a saudering gun to melt the plastic a bit on both the control box and the door panel where the glue used to be. Stuck the two parts together real quick and clamped it for about an hour. No issues from then on.

08 with 40K, still smells new inside, i do wash and wax the car once a week, sealant, polish, clay bar it when it needs it, the whole 9, it does wonders for your paint if you take care of it, With the GA heat and our random *** weather, I relaly just try and take care of it. I have reas about different things breaking so i have replaced a lot of things just incase
