I'm pushing 2500 miles. Had my tire pressure gauge go off one time about a week after purchase. Went to dealer and I guess my tires were just low.
Last week on the way back to school I was driving and listening to a CD, it stopped playing and my speakers all stop working. My phone sync was still working but nothing would come out of the speakers. The buttons were even froze almost like a frozen computer screen if you will. I pulled over, shut off the car, restarted a minute later. Problem solved.
Nothing major though. Knock on wood.
Slingshot, Engaged!

~24000 miles. My car is starting to develop some sort of issue with the CD player/radio during really hot days. I'll post more when I know exactly what is going on. Other than that, the car is a warrior.

i believe mines only around 6500, end of august will be my first year 
had the 1k mile service, as well as 5k mile service
question though im pretty sure most dealership do it they put a service sticker of the date your next oil change as well as the miles on the top left corner of your windshield, if you don't reach that mileage, you should still change your oil after three months correct?

I'd say 6mos or 5k miles, whichever comes first. Change it sooner if no high way or frequent short drive, which not hot enough to burn off moisture.

You'd throw away a lot of good oil. Send a sample to Blackstone and have them test it. They'll tell you if you need to change it or not.

I guess this particular nail was close enough to the sidewall that the stealership wouldn't patch it -- replace only. They mentioned something about the car being able to do 170+ as a determining factor in not plugging the hole....
I found the tire elsewhere for $120 less than they wanted at the dealership. Surprise, surprise!

Pole Position
Bought 3/1/08 - 29,000 miles - no warrantee issues to date. My wife's 2008 BMW 335i has been in the shop for several minor issues during the same time frame. BTW I did replace the front disc pads at about 25k, but I spent a track day at MSR and have participated in 3 SCCA Solo events. Looks like I will have to get new tires in 3-4k more miles.

4600miles and almost hitting the 1 yr mark. No problems except the occasionally squeaky brake that needs a hard stomp or two. The "Need Oil Maint Soon" warning just came on a couple of weeks back. Now it bugs me every time I start the car. I don't think that warning is connected to the Nav setting, because I have all the maintenance notifications off. Does anyone know why that light comes on?

The light has no connection with the maintenance system in the nav. It comes on flashing 4500 miles after the last reset and comes on solid 5000 miles after the last reset. It can't be changed.
Coming up on 10k after 7 months. Looks like it will be another high mileage year.
