16,500 miles; not one problem. I haven't even replaced my wiper blades as they still are as good as when new. MPG has risen slightly from new, averaging 23MPG per tank with enthusiastic driving. Two sets of stock wheels on different tires-- 1 winter set, 1 summer set for here in New England. Total cost of ownership pretty much average.

9000 miles and the only problem I've had is stupid people who seem to think it's fun to hit my car!!!!! 3 accidents in 9 months and the car was either stopped or parked... I suppose it's hard to see a Lightning yellow EVO...

9000 miles/11 months. Never launched and never raced. The moon roof seal had a small tear from being stuck to the roof. Dealer replaced the entire assembly under warranty even with my mods on. Spoiler is starting to peel. Other than that, it's been great.

The bad smell may be the coating on the turbo burning off, I was made aware of this by my friend who had owned a few turbo cars...it smells like a mild polecat(skunk).

I just got mine 10 days ago.....I'm the second owner with 16,500 I've put 1000 already. It is obvious that the previous owner was very particular but no problems. Clutch feels new and catches high, no rattles, no squeaks (except for brakes) and pulls real strong! Lots more fun than the S2K! Plus it has 18 in SSR GT1's, lowering springs (not sure of the brand but they are orange if anyone might know), Evo 7 (black inside) tails, "normal" spoiler not the CF wing but I want one if anyone is up for a trade or sale, works muffler delete, BBY color, all for $28k ......Think I did ok?!

13,500 miles and no problems here. The only thing I could complain about would be the tranny in cold weather, gets kinda notchy. Other than that... nada
