how many miles do you guys have on your coupes?
#616
I have to update this, now i'm at 126k. I was going to trade it in for a commuter car just because the high mileage is scaring me and I drive from the valley to san francisco every day. But after looking at some of the other mileages on here I think I should be ok for a while. Just like you guys, no breakdowns at all, just wear tires fast because of my camber issues due to the eibach sportlines and breaking exhausts because of the height. But nothing as far as the engine goes. I used to burn through oil really quick but recently switched it to delo and haven't noticed any burn off at all.

Bought my 06 Coupe brand new in June 2006 while on Reserve duty in Homestead when I was 24 years old. Drove to Miami in my beat up 2000 Saturn SL2 wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Nobody bothered to talk to me, I think because of my age and what I was wearing. Someone about my age or maybe a few years older walked up and started talking to me. Walked out with a brand new car shortly after.
Almost 10 years later, married now, and about 153K miles on the car. Running fine except a few problems over the years (mostly electrical components). Interior is still in "like new" condition except the driver seat and peeling leather in the back seat. Think I have a valve cover leak or something, since now I switched to dino oil and smell that putrid oil in the cabin. It was very faint prior when I used synthetic, so I switched as a test.
Wife and I argue about getting "rid" of my bachelor car. I tell her to go pound sand...lol. The Audi A4 Quattro that keeps giving me problems (I use for Winter) along with the Subaru Forester she drives; I don't need to get rid of my car, lol.

167k miles
I just clicked over to 167,000 miles on my 2006 6MT coupe. Bought it brand new and put all miles on it except for 6. Its my only car and I drive both highway and around town. Had engine replaced at 22k miles under warranty due to oil consumption and no major issues aside from normal wear and tear....radiator, battery and many sets of tires.
Cheers

I'm the original owner of my 2006 coupe and have over 180,000 miles. I've had most of the common problems such as CD player stopped working (but who plays CDs anymore), steering rack leak, oil leak from oil pan gasket, another small oil leak from who knows where, seat tear on left side of drivers seat by the handle, replaced window motor twice, clock stopped, and most annoying complete failure of clear coat on all horizontal surfaces. Nevertheless the car still runs great and I love driving it. So when do I let go of it?

I bought my 03 coupe with 114k miles around 7 months ago. It now has 116k. The main reason I chose to buy this coupe (I was searching for months) Is because it is very and I mean very clean. Its a virgin with everything stock, the emergency kit is still in the back seats as well. However before my own I never knew there were some without sunroofs and no leather seats! Does anybody else on here have these super early base models?
