Air conditioner condenser failed at 290,000 km, drivers side axle boot tore open at 315,000 km. Other than that nothing but routine oil changes.
VERY reliable transportation. Thought of trading to a 2000 Civic, but this car works so good I don't want anything else. Fuel economy at 40+ MPG on the highway, air blows ice cold, seats are quite comfortable, however lumbar adjustment is recommended. Mine has a lumbar support mow out of the highline model that I got from the wrecker. Upolestry shows absolutley NO signs of wear. Transmission seems to get confused when going around some corners as the computer doesn't know what gear to select so it kind of revs up slightly and then selects gear. Sometimes annoying.

I get 40+ mpg on the highway too.
Best car I could possibly imagine owning. it's fast, fun, fuel efficient, looks amazing and couldn't be more comfortable.
I'm the third owner, the second of which used to street race it in SF and he beat the heck out of it; still runs fine though. 170,000 miles on all original parts (except for basic stuff, some hoses, oil brakes tires etc).
I wish it had normal seatbelts, but you get used to the automatic ones. only thing that really bothers me is that the trunk leaks when it rains and then it smells like rot for a bit (you have to dry it out). carpet doesn't just lift out like most cars too... it's woven into the back seats so you'd actually have to cut up the back seats to get it out. probably very easy and cheap to get fixed though, so really not a big deal.
This car is basically perfect, and I can see no reason not to get one!
