2008, 45K, 1 Accident, front clip replaced, Mods: SRI & boost gauge. Only problem I've ever had was a serpentine belt tensioner was broken at 30K, rattled annoyingly at idle.

Seafoamed the motor and I'm pretty sure it made the rear 02 sensor go bad.... SO i guess i have to replace that now.

2007 bought in november 2006, 70k miles. mods - awr motor mount, tein s-techs for a mazda 3, mazdaspeed cai, hks cbe, gutted second cat. all installed at around 20-30k. i also had a tubro xs bov at 100% VTA for a 10-20k.

i've had no problems, stock shocks are still good.

61k so far so good.

NEED to replace shocks and what not. (but normal maintenance)

Today is the two-year anniversary of my purchase. 16,063 miles since I bought it (22 miles a day, exactly ) No heart-wrenching issues (the audio system recall and an A/C compressor replacement, both under warranty). I still love to drive it. I'd expect one to last 100K with proper maintenance and reasonable care. This one may get traded on a 2012 Mustang, though.
