mileage check in!
Probably a few of these threads but haven't seen a recent one. So here we go. What mileage you guys at and what problems, (other than speeding tickets), have you encountered with your xfire? I'm still pretty new to the car so want to know what I should look out for. I'm riding a 2005, black 6speed and so far i'm loving the car!!! I'm 23 years old and my car history is as follows, 93' camaro droptop (v6 first car though give me a break), 03 eclipse gs, 02 Honda S2000 (fun car), 05 Evolution (my favorite, and i miss it but payment was too high after i lost my job and went back to school), 93 mustang lx notchback 5.0 5spd, 02 RSX type S, and now my 05 xfire. :]
60,500 miles...
just put in a new alternator (growling bearing) and a new battery (preventative maintenance), but other than that no real "problems" ... just routine maintenance. Ill be putting on new tires in about a month or so.

05 Coupe delivery date 7/15/05 with approx 300 miles. To date 9160 miles and its driven most every day. No problems other than my deck lid lock line broke within the first year I owned the car other than that its been flawless!

05 Roadster Limited
Purchased
May 08 17,500 Km [10,900 M]
Now
Oct 08 24,500 Km [15,300 M]
One oil change
One headlight bulb and one inside light bulb replacement, Had to buff the headlamps at the top as they were slightly cloudy.
As Mike-in-Orange noted you do have to wash them, but other than that zero issues other than normal maintenance

I've had mine since April 2008. I bought it with 23 miles on the clock and have as of this past weekend. 6 months later there is 8500 miles on it. So thats roughly 85000 miles in the next 5 years. Assuming I don't drive it more.
