No problems except for the drivetrain being noisier than my 03 and the fact that the dealer put on the front license plate.

I hit 1100 miles in the first week of owning this car. i'm still on stock clutch and it's running as strong as ever.

I love reading these posts!

That's what I like to hear...

I have 5700 miles with no problems.

I don't drive like a maniac - but I'm not easy on her either...

Rock on!

No probs with the MR. Just about 4K on the clock since late. Definately driven, but not ragged out. Hundreds of $ in monitoring and logging equipment to make sure all is in order.

8k no problems other than window rattle (which was fixed by dealership) and having to stop at the gas station so much!

Which window did you have a rattle in? I have one in the rear hatch glass that makes an annoying clicking noise 70% of the time. I havent taken it to the dealer yet though.

front window it was just that small plastic square behind the wiper at the bottom of the passanger outside pillar, they just taped it and no more highway rattle, take it to the dealer and let it be their problem not yours!

4100 miles on my 05 since 11/04. Absolutely no problems. One 7mpg track day so far (except for very hot front brakes and some fade, the car ran perfectly), and lots of spirited back road driving. This is not my daily driver, so all the miles are essentially recreational. I followed the break-in per the manual.

picked up my 05 5 days ago and it already needs a new catalytic converter. Threw a CEL for it with 120 miles on the clock. Getting it replaced under warranty.

Hopefully this is will be the extent of my problems.
