i just crossed the 3000 mile mark this weekend... the car is holding up great, changed the oil once and now am running full synthetic. The only problem i have found was a small ticking noise coming from the transmission when the car is in nuetral and idling (bad throw-out bearing?). It went away, but i am keeping my ears open in case it comes back

About 1,800 miles so far.
Only a few issues so far. I had the CEL pop on last night, but it disappeared early this morning. The car can be difficult to shift into 2nd when very cold. Also, the factory tires were worthless in the snow so I bought some 16 wheels and snow tires.

I had the CEL pop on at about 2400 miles. They took care of the issue right away. No problems since. The factory tires are crap in the snow. Just got a set of Mich. X-Ice. I now have 3100 miles and really no signs of issues. I do think that the throw out bearing may be a little noisey for my liking. I had a civic with 50000 miles and it was quietier than my MS3. I will have to get the car back in to have them look at it and see what they say.

4150 miles on her and no real problems except for the engine light still on. I am calling this week to get that fixed since the part came in finally. Other than that, it is still a sick ride.

Why did you guys have a CEL? What part needed to be replaced?
I dont think that the noise will get any better, if anything it will get worse. The CEL on my car was due to a code P2006 intake manifold runner control piece not opening up enough. Causing not enough air to get into the motor and the ecu is noticing that there is not enough air causing the CEL. They had to enlarge the holes so it opened up more and cleared fault and no more problems to speak of at this point.

Same thing BENZO said happened to mine also. It is no big deal really. Just took my dealership alittle to get it in.

On a more serious note, the gas pedal got caught twice on the factory all-weather mats, sending it up to redline. Anyone else had this happen?

2850 miles on mine. The only problem I have is there is a click sound when shifting fast, it went away if I shift slowly. Don't know if it's normal, but great car so far. Need better tires, they are just spinning on 1st and 2nd gear.

Turned 500 on the way into work this morning (in 7 days) 
. Other then hating the tires, no problems.

Those Bridgestones are sitting in my basement - not sure what I'm going to do with them. -_-;;
Drove 380 miles so far. Can't wait for that 600! *^_^*
I drove it to work today instead of taking my government vehicle. (a ford minivan >_<)
