I'm kind of at the same point. My '08 is just shy of 90k. I've had to shell out a few thousand since 50k miles to replace most of the cooling system and a head gasket. Got me thinking about selling it and buying a new model to avoid future repairs. But like the poster above, then I drove a few. Nothing all that special, steering a little less substantial feeling, and interior feels almost identical. Combine that with the more minivan-ish looks, and I'll stick with my '08 for a few more years. I love the way it drives and looks.

Yes handing over cash to your mechanic does sting a little. But even if you spend 1k-2k/year on maintenance...you're still miles ahead of what you'd spend on a new vehicle. And if you can do some of the basic maintenance yourself...
