reliability

[Super Unique]

Now that some of us are getting some serious miles on these cars, how are they holding up?

Mine has just over 50k, and I have seen some folks over 70k and 90k....


Just curious to see how the higher miles cars are holding together. Mine has had a few minor issues, but no serious repairs so far.

1. Cooling hose leak caused by faulty clip, hose fell into fan.
2. bad purge valve solenoid.
3. HU bad on delivery.

So far no bad struts or problems with VVT actuator.

I have 90k on mine. Here's my issues:

1. Replaced turbo 2 times for smoking issues at about 25k mile intervals
2. Shocks and Struts all blown out at around 70k
3. VVT actuator just went last week at 90k

All in all I'm unhappy with the car and plan to sell it as soon as I get new shocks / struts, fix the actuator and buy new tires. I just feel like I'm always waiting for the next thing to go wrong with it.

50k here, daily driver. I think my shocks/struts are close to death. So far it has been my only "big" problem.

I think most of the people over 50k have changed their shocks where i am right now so keep that in mind when you reach it.

60k on mine, Ive only had to replace the belt tensioner, other then that its been oil and brakes. I also got rid of my stock suspension around 30k, and went with MS coils. Car has been great, as long as you dont mess with it too much. Mods are suspension, intake, cat back, and a hallman MBC. No need for colder plugs or anything else, car makes plenty of power to spin in 2nd and 3rd sometimes.
