Yeah, I'm at 43,000. It would be a lot more if I was still with my gf that lived far away as well.

Well, the warranty period is officially over (sniff) I actually went over the limit while taking the service manager on a test drive to demonstrate a problem... how ironic. Guess it's time for everything to break now.

Don't be a pessimist. You've only got 3 moving parts under the bonnet.

Not trying to be pessimistic - just a realist. Since owning the vehicle, the following items have been replaced:

Engine
Clutch
Seat Track
Seat Back
Starter
Battery
Motor Mounts
Tail Light
A/C Amplifier (twice)
Ashtray
Center Console Upper Panel

Don't get me wrong, I still love the car, I just live in fear of the next problem...

66,895 no major problems. getting ready to buy my 4th set of tires. i replaced the originals with bridgestone re750's and stepped up to 245x40. my next set were kumho extsa 712's. of the three types, the re750's were by far the best.

at 61,000 miles, i caught my first flood job. the real culprit was my oe battery, which was done. new battery with double the cca (650 if i remember correctly), $85 since not under warranty.

at 64,000 i started getting the airbag light. again not in warranty, $1795 for new passenger module. (i haven't eaten that bullet yet).

i have enjoyed every mile i have driven this car, and still feel it has brought me more pleasure than any major purchase i have made in the last 10 years.

I know I'm not anywhere near the highest. I just crossed 34,000 yesterday. So far, the only glitches have been a cracked parking brake handle (covered under warranty), a flooded left rear light cluster (repaired twice under warranty), and an odd undercarriage rattle on the right side that wouldn't show itself when it was up on a lift or being driven by the mechanic (the rattle only started within the last two months). She's never flooded and only once failed to start on the first try (that was my error, not the car's, as I let go of the key too soon).

^I had a rattle that sounded like it was from under the car towards the front, and it turned out to be the front dust guard hitting the caliper.

just something easy to check.

just broke 40000 miles. i have an 80mi roundtrip commmute and had the car since march last year.

experienced my first idle drop last week. kept the revs high all day after that, the dealer did the 30000 mile mark full service inspection (set me back about $400) and the problem went away.

for now.

I know a guy who has (I believe) over 150k on his 8. I'll have to ask him for his actual current mileage. I know it's over 100k.
