75,000 Miles!!!!

Well, I hit the big 7-5!

Just under 3 years of ownership.

4 Months ago I quit driving as much since I got a new job in a closer city.

Yes, I do have a CEL and have had one for 1.5 months now. I dont knw what it tis but everything seems to be fine. ( I know everything wants to know the condition) No major problems, but after 50k a lot of little problems.

Overall satisfaction: 4/5

Great sports car-very focused sports car. it's about the drive, not the 30gb hard drives, and cup warmers, and luxury pieces, and backup cameras etc.

Long live the Rotary!

Glad you're still having fun
I'd bet your CEL is for the rear O2 sensor (or maybe the gas cap if not replaced yet)

Gas cap has been replaced. o2 sensor was a thought...us dirty rotaryies lol

Yeah it's lot's of fun. NO way could trader her in. 75k means she doesn't have much value, and I still owe quite a bit. But no complaints here...unless she explodes.

And actualy I dont' know what else in my price range I would really want enough to replace this car. It's a great value for the money.

Hahaha, Congratulations on the 75k. Bummer of the 76.6k though. I just hit the whopping 15k mark on my '05 My jobs pretty close and I only drive it there a couple times a week. Most of the miles come from the few road trips I get to take. At this rate, (7.5k miles a year), it'll take me near 8 years to catch up. I like my odds

i bought the car used with 45k on it and it was drivin by a chick that had no idea what she had bought. I did [B][U]everything i was supposed to do to this car to take care of it. It turns out that the apex seals are shot and the factory oil injection system sucks. unfortunatly i found out about premixing a lil to late.
