So thus far since I bought the car at 39,500 miles I have had to replace one throttle actuator, one coil, the rod bearings (lead was 48), motor mounts, and the water pump / thermostat. Not the best luck. Actually makes me a little bitter.
60k is kinda the sweet spot for maintenance so i'm not surprised with your luck.
