oil change $75.00.. Brake job about $500.00 w/hawk pads.. Gas $30.00 per fill ..clutch $1200.00 installed... estimated for one year of service with 20,000 miles on the car. IT IS AN EXPENSIVE CAR TO OWN... make no mistake... and when you have one you burn a lot of gas caus you will always be hittin up the turbo...

Pads and rotors had to be replaced under warranty (twice) early on. Since then, I have had nothing go wrong with the car. I have just shy of 30,000 miles on it, and I've owned it for 9 months. If you buy a new one, make sure that you get your alignment checked immediately. The toe on mine was off and caused premature wear on the Advans. Others have had this problem as well. I'm completely stock. My clutch is still perfect (most of my miles are hwy miles, though). I've never launched it, so that contributes to the longevity of the clutch. Really, everything is perfect.

my only complaint other than the clutch is the turning radius.
