i just went over 43k yesterday i drove from san diego to ft irwin a little over 200 miles i have never had so much fun driving.
as for gas mileage i had half a tank when i left which was all downtown san diego stop and go driving and i like to rev it hard when i take off i was very pleased to see i was getting 16.5 mpg only 1/3 of it being highway. when i filled up on my way home i was pleasantly surprised to see 20mpg this just makes me love the car even more.
the road to ft irwin SUCKS its not fully paved and as i was driving to the base i heard a rock hit the side of my car made me cringe but when i got out to inspect after i got to my destination there wasnt a single mark on the car.
on my way home was worse when i got to that road it was smooth at first but i knew it was going to get rough and i had 3 18 wheelers in front of me so i was trying to get in front of them before the rough part so i didnt get rocks thrown all over me i only got past 2 of them and then traffic started coming and the rough road oh god i wanted to cry when i heard and saw what came next. but once again when i got home and this morning since it was dark when i got home i was very surprised to see all my paint intact and no dings. needless to say i will never drive on that road again but it was a problem free drive with lots of looks and people telling me nice car =D.

I have 50000kms on the clock . Recently replaced my problem free front pads & spark plugs because I was bored with the lack of problems i'm having . Wish I had a problem to moan about.
About to put a piggy back ECU on so surely that will help in the problem department.
