Default 2016 dart report from an original owner

Ok,my car is driven 80 miles daily all week long. Minimal traffic. Mostly at 70 mph. Freeway. I’ve had the rear window lose the bolt that attaches the window to the tract. Easy fix. Had the spark plug packs go bad. 2 of them. Replaced all 4. Put new plugs in while there. About 60k miles. Replaced tires recently. Having issues with the drivers window switch. It’s starting to go bad.
other then that, no issues with car.
i use synthetic oils and a factory filter every 5 k.
plugs are NGK. Ignition coils, factory parts.
brakes are still at about 40%.
fuel economy average over this life has been between 32-34.
the Bluetooth kinda sucks...seems to have a hard Time identifying names I say.
overall the car has been a good car. I think they get a bad reputation myself. And I’m an **** guy who is extremely capable with a wrench.
only thing I don’t like still about car. Gutless 2.2 motor. But hey, it’s my bic lighter commuter.

I've never seen a dart with at 2.2 liter engine...1.4 , 2.0 or 2.4.
they do get pretty good mpg.
the automatic transmission that is really a standard trans that is automatically shifted...I wonder if they will hold up better than a conventional auto trans.
