bretonsimon Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 Just wanted to see if anyone has broke 100k miles and if the car are holding up? Mine is 75k (2008) and still doing great. The only down side is few rattle in the dash. Got driver seat & door squeak as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outbackusjunkus Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 just bought an '05 with 169,000 miles, has all receipts. Looks like it has been pretty good, standard stuff but no big ticket repairs. 'Course the engine has a bad rod bearing, but she ran it out of oil too so....

bretonsimon Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 Wow, that is a lot of mileage for a 2005! Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XT203 Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 i'm at 95k on my 2005 and the only thing i am experiencing is dash rattle n i might need struts but apart from that i'm a firm believer this car will last me over 200k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doctorbrody Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I have 120k on my 05, been stage 2 since 50k, stage 3 since 90k - car still runs great. I am very particular about maintenance and fluid changes. I've had to replace 3 CV boots and an O2 sensor, and one time an injector clogged and needed to be cleaned. Not bad!

docsmile71 Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 76K on my wife's 2005 XT auto. So far: O2 sensor, dash rattles, drivers and passenger side interior door handles are peeling, radio display is dead, and we just got news that we have to change a whole bunch of boots and the front sway bar bushings. But then again, my wife is really hard on the car. At 75K miles, already replaced all four rotors once, pads twice, and will replace all rotors and pads next week again. Overall, engine feels stronger and smoother at 75K than when it was new...I think the engine is just breaking in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretonsimon Posted October 6, 2010 Author Share Posted October 6, 2010 Quite impressive to go through that many break parts in 75K. I'm 80k now and never had replaced anything there. Moreover, I had pull a 2000 lbs trailer for more then 5000k with it. I will keep an eye on the boots. I spray with lithium grease all rubber bushings every 3-6 month to extend the life of these sway bar joints. Wish you better luck on the next 75K!

docsmile71 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yeah, my wife learned how to drive on the mean streets of NYC. Drag racing from light to light with taxi cabs. We live in the suburbs of Boston now but she works in Boston so her commute is all local roads where her NYC driving instincts prevail. I've thought about getting her a lighter vehicle that might be easier on the braking system but every time I drive her car, I don't think I can give up the pull of the turbocharged engine. Did I mention that it feels like the engine is JUST breaking in? hahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bretonsimon Posted October 13, 2010 Author Share Posted October 13, 2010 Yeah, such NYC driving habits are not something you get rid of easily! The only time I went there, I parked the car in a multi-story car elevator parking and we used the subway. Just looking drivers honking each other was quite a show. Good stuff for the engine just breaking in!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
