252K+ miles and still going strong on my '01. (Since I acquired the '06 a year ago in anticipation of someday having to retire the '01, the odometer is not rolling up as fast on the '01 as I drive the '06 occasionally in good weather - the '06 with 65K is stored in winter.) The '01 has been a northern car it's whole life (Buffalo, Detroit, Chicago). Dino oil & filter changes at 5K intervals. Drain and fill transmission every 40K or so after initially going 100K. DIY brake pads and rotors as needed. Recently changed spark plugs for 2nd time (125K first, 250K second time). Original radiator. Valve cover gaskets and plug seals at 235K. One timing belt and WP at 187K. DIY front wheel bearings and lower ball joints at 125K. DIY all 4 O2 sensors at 125K. DIY replace front door and subwoofer speaker foam surround. Lower control arm bushings at 185K. OCV (passenger and driver side) replaced at 249K. Had one very rare electrical gremlin causing dash lights to go day bright at night. DIY replaced the driver's side junction block with used ($100) - that solved issue (probably a capacitor failure in the J/B).

97k on my 04.
Only 3 k left on my extended warranty....If it is going to go bad, hope it happens in the next 3000 miles!
Cheers!

Mine just hit 183K....., I'm going on 10 years owning this car. I have a "Check engine" light that comes on when it wants to, it could be gone for 2-3 weeks then come back, I have a small leak in my drivers side cat, I might have it patched but, it's not effecting anything and right now it's more of a time thing. At $500+ for each one, not sure if I want to spend that money on it, a patch would fix it...

Just the other day, my tilt stopped working in my steering wheel, researching the part to replace the motor in it....I tried to lube it a month ago, helped but, it was a problem.

Otherwise, great car, love it, best car I have ever owned... If I get another car, it would only be a newer one...

Keep hitting the tilt button and it will move ever so slightly until it moves like normal again. Works for me every time.

Disable auto tilt and don't worry about the motor failing.

245,000 miles and still going strong! Purchased used in 2005 with 80k miles. Have done most of the work on it myself. Never anything major, although there are starting to crop up a whole list of nits I need to find time to address. Always ran synthetic oil. Change intervals were sometimes a bit long, but oil always looked like honey on the dipstick. Flush, filter and fill on the tranny earlier this year. New radiator 2 months ago. Timing belt/water pump 5 months ago. Oil Control Valves just last week. Have had some rust issues on the front doors where the cladding starts. Other regular maintenance as needed. My wife loves the car.
