I continue to beat everybody else for the LOWEST miles / age title... purchased November 7th 2003, today I've got only 6600 miles on the car.
If I continue with this pace, I won't wear out the 50K miles warranty period in the next 20 years... pity that this period expires after 4 years

Lambert (the sheepish lion) - if you've seen the cartoon
Any major problems at 100k? Like major engine problems.

I like to drive mine too - when I'm not traveling for business. Unfortunately, nowadays that's rather rare for me.

^^^ Yes, I'd like to know if the high mileage people have had any major problems with the car yet. I hope this one doesn't turn out like the FD.

Tranny replaced at 7500.
Flooded once, brake squeal, ac amplifier, wheel clicking, drivers window out of alignment. All under warranty and I'm still loving it
