I think the purpose for the belt system is to always keep good close timing even with alot of miles. It works like (I dare say) al lthese little foriegn cars, thats why they run for so long. The belt wears out but the tensioner always holds tight to keep accurate valve timing. With a chain and even a gear, metal to metal wears faster we cant deny that.
