Thumbs up 9000 miles and all is well

Just wanted to send a note. Just rolled 9000 on the odo today. All is well. Had the recall work done and I'll be having my 4th oil change in about 1000 miles ( I do every other one myself ).

Too many "I have this problem" posts going on. Thought I'd send out a "I have not problems" post. Knock on wood.

9000 miles and loved every mile of it.

That's the one thing people have trouble realizing on car forums - people simply don't post when everything works as normal. If you just read up on a car on a forum, you'd believe that it's a big POS with tons of problems.

It's the same phenomenon that my mom falls into - she watches all those news magazine shows, and is convinced everyone's trying to rip you off, everything's shoddy and unsafe, etc. You have to take everything with a grain of salt.

Regardless, glad to hear the car's doing well!

legokcen,

That's excellent! I although I have no complaints at all, I am glad to hear things are still good down the road from where I am now (1600miles).

almost 11,000 miles/smiles for me in six months - no problems what-so-ever. Had the two recalls done (tranny shield and air bag), also asked for and got M flash at the same time. Still running 18-19mpg in suburban driving, 23-25 highway...
