I have posted this before (maybe not here) but I strongly dislike belts. They are a completely unacceptable cost cutting measure. The manufacturer saves $20 making the vehicle, only to cost the owners multiple thousands of dollars in maintenance over the course of the car's lifetime. If the maintenance is not performed, it's a few thousand for a replacement engine (assuming interference).

I will not own a car with a belt.
