at 12,2xx now. My shock seems to have corrected itself

Car handles really great in snow with Blizzaks and I can fit my snowboard in the backseat and my boy's skis through the passthrough...

2000 miles in a month and a half on my 09 R3. I changed the oil by myself at 1K.
No problems at all. But I'd hope not with only 2k on her.

Got my white R3 in July 09, 11700km (7200miles) 1 oil change done so far, next one soon enough, great car, no problem what so ever yet, except one key stoped working ( had it in my wallet all the time and seems bent, so partly my fault) else than that added maybe 1.5L between the oil changes.

Just over 3K on mine, one oil change and about 15 MPG avg. Feels like the tranny can loosen up a bit still, 1->2 shifts still not very smooth.

Only nitpick is I wish the main air vents blow more air when in mixed mode (front and bottom) cracking up the fan doesn't seem to make any difference.

Loving it so far.

Bought late Jan w/480 miles; now @1100 or so. I've added a quart of dead dinosaurs and that's it for maintenance so far.
Complaints: I'd agree that the face air vents aren't so good in face&feet mode, 3rd and 4th gear show a little resistance to gearstick movement depending on my speed, and 6th can grind if I skip anything. I suppose I need to match the revs better when shifting.
MPG: Don't really want to calculate it. Suspect that to do so would only make me feel worse.

Semi-OT...

Has anyone experienced flooding with your S2 so far or it's a thing of the past unless it's from owner's negligence?
