You put 130,000 km / 81,000 miles on the vehicle in 4 years, did you
really expect anything to outlast the warranty? Some people don't put
that much mileage on a car in 10 years!!!
with the exception of the sunroof motor, I'd say you pretty much beat
the car to death.

Thats not at all impossible. If you have a commute of about 100km's/day that
will easily add up.

90km/day commute x 25 days = 2250km's/mo
2250km's x 12 months = 27000km's/yr
27000km's/yr x 4yrs = 108,000km's
Plus add on all the other miscelanious driving and 130,000k's in 4 yrs is
not that brutal.

I would hardly consider 130K Km harsh for 4 years, in the same period I
would put on 200-240K Km at 50 to 60K per year commuting to work.
I normally trade my vehicles at around 200-250K.
