Where is live my wife does nothing but, and in the summer it really can get hot here, I would tend to believe she would be considered servere conditions for the car.... My neighbor had exact same car, but did mostly highway and her transmission lasted to 168k miles, mine went 100k with 30k mile fluid changes before the failure. Now I change it every 15k or less.
