Am coming up on 190K miles – not the highest around, but our `07 is a daily-driver and still looks like a younger car. Am just now on the fourth set of tires, and about the fourth set of brakes – think I may have found the combination on brakes… EBCs seem to be holding up better than OEM stuff… first set of struts and shox went 150K+, change oil (dino) every 5-6K miles and have occasional sensor misread, but generally a very reliable car and expect it to go at least another 100K at this rate…

We've received no other reports of this. It might have been a temporary issue with the site, or a problem with your browser and/or computer. I sometimes have trouble getting browser windows to close on my computer, but in this case it's generally because I need to restart it.
