I have about 22k on mine. I have only had one problem and that was a bad gas cap. Mistu replaced that under warranty.

I had several squeeks and rattles but I have located and fixed all of those. As the temps drop here I'm sure there will be more noises but the car gets parked once the snow flies.

Stock clutch is fine but I haven't launched the car.....only a little spirited driving on the freeway. My tires wear fast but so does everyone elses. Maybe it could use an alignment but I doubt it because the car hasn't even hit a pot hole. Its probably the AWD system.

The only complaint I have is that its expensive to maintain. Oil, tires, fluids, insurance, ect.

30k and runs like a champ. never had any problems. i have had pretty much all the normal bolt ons, a few electrical goodies, and suspension mods on it shortly after i bought it new and never had any problems with the car. had the hood vent replaced under warranty because it was faded and turning silver, and a cabin air filter put in for free. still on stock clutch too : ) i need to take my car in to get the hvac control replaced since it is a little hard to turn at times but this has already been authorized as a warranty repair and parts are waiting on me.

oh yeah, when i was stock i used to get the p0300 (random misfire) code every other month but as i modded the intervals it came on widened and to the point now to where i pretty much never get it.

i have a few friends that have had many many problems with their 03's but they no longer own the cars anymore.

20K and no major problems. Did have a few recalls but they where for a fan switch which caused no problems and some underbody sealant think and a few stickers. I also had my Calipers turn pink but fixed under warranty
Still love driving at just as much as the first day I bought it. It never seems to stop amazing me!
