201,000 on my 99 GS4, nothing but routine maintenance in the 65,000 I've owned it. Replaced ball joints and bushings, suspension stuff and the like, but the car still drives like new with no engine or transmission problems. Plus imho the body style has aged well if modded, still looks relatively fresh if you take care of the paint and mod a little.

120000 miles on my 99 GS4. The door actuator is just acting up. Still pulls strong.

Wow, how do you guys cover such mileage lol

MY02 GS3 with 210k kms (131k mls), was daily driven now it's only driven on the weekends, serviced every 10k. Powertrain is fantastic and don't have any mechanical problems whatsoever. What has happened is the right side rear actuator has given up, passenger servo motor needs replacing and the electric antenna has given up... everything else works as it should, I love these cars.

130xxx miles here. Just broken in. Did ONE door lock actuator, valve cover gaskets (spark plug gaskets are a PAIN), and an SRT intake. Total dream to drive and play in.
