Highest mileage for an '09 R3?

It's a single car with (presumably) nearly all highway miles. Is that really going to give you an accurate data point?
If so, I recommend that you rate Toyota Corolla reliability on my 2002 Corolla I used to have. It blew it's engine at 62,000 miles. My 2005 8 is still doing fine at 93,500.
How is that for a single data point?

It allows me to let my brain take the information, weigh it, and do with it as I please, which pretty much is make a decision.
I do it all the time in life.
Take one experience that I have, and make a judgement call on it.
As for your Corolla, I would agree with you on that assessment based on my gf's daughter's '99 Corolla. Has low compression in cylinder 2 due to faulty oil control holes that were improperly drilled in the pistons. Car burns oil at an un-natural rate, and has for a very, very long time.
A huge amount of those engines from 99 through '04 are subject to this issue, depending on how the pistons were built.
Nice try, though.

I understand your argument. But your rate of driving 36K miles per year was certainly way above average!!!
I believe the national average for determining sale value in terms of tear/wear in cars has moved now to what...15K per year?
That R3 - which is only 3 y/o - should be between 45-50K miles the most. Instead, it has the tear/wear of an 6 y/o car. Not a big deal on your average piston engine...but with the rotary...oh well.
At $12K I would look more into an RX-8 that had a little more engine warranty left
