i have over 100k , and the only problem i had was a shimmy in the steering which the fixed after i went lemon on them. the car is great , but it needs the l tuned steering ecu and the l tuned shocks and springs and the racing sways and stut tower bars to go around a curve w/o riding like a buick. additionally the car sounds alot better with a kn ram air set up. i thik it goes faster too, but most people say it has no hp effect. if it doesnt have factory hids just find one that does dont try to add them,to much mony and effort . the milage is about 20mpg overall, im sure u could do better , but it is so much fun to run this car, why bother. a little hint to go faster , turn off ac , turn off traction contol,put in manual and shift to 2 and don't let go

wow, you guys must drive slow
I managed 20 MPG on the highway last week and wanted to throw a bash for that accomplishment! I usually get about (rounded off on my NAV screen) 14 city/18 highway on a regular basis.
