You wont need to change it until at least 100,000 miles. Typically that will last the life of the car. But alot of people, including myself, wait until it breaks to replace it. It is about $1000 to replace because the engine has to be partially disassembled.
80,000miles or about 5/6 yrs depending on your local climate
Today I went to the Hyundai dealership for a tune up. They told me my Hyundai Accent had a rubber belt for a timing chain and that it neede to be replaced every 4 years. just like the rest of the rubber belts on the engine.
depends on the local climate ,in colder climes they last longer than a dry hot arid climate

Most manufactures recommend changing the Timing belt at around 60,000 miles / 100,000 Km or 7 years, whichever comes first. They have been known to last a lot longer than that but it is cheaper to have it replaced than to risk critical and expensive engine damage if it breaks.
