Okay my fellow I4 Camaro Peeps...

So I currently have 41,500 miles on my 16' 2.0L w/A8. I can honestly say it has been a really great car and a blast to drive.

Obviously, I drive it a lot, I have a 100 mile roundtrip commute every day and I know cars don't last forever.

I already serviced the differential, I'm getting a transmission fluid and filter change at the end of the month, and I change my oil every 3,500 to 4,500 miles running full synthetic.

My question is, how long will this little buggy last me? Will it take the continued abuse of the commutes and the random mountain road trips a few times a year?

I previously owned a 2011 Buick Regal Turbo and I traded it in way too soon, she had 129,000 miles on her. I just want to know I am good for at least many more years to come before I can afford another car or buy a used beater for the family vehicle. Since my wife and I just celebrated our 2 year anniversary, you know what will be on the horizon.

Thanks again to all fellow 2.0L Peeps, I know this is more of a loaded question but I just want to keep this little Camaro running strong, may not get the chance to tune it but at least enjoy it as long as possible.
