I noticed some guys had over 20,xxx up to 50,xxx in a previous post. And I was wondering if you guys have had any problems as your EP gets more miles on it. IE...tranny problems, motor mounts, etc. that I hear about often on here.

40,000 miles, Steering rack makes sqeek noise when i turn left to right, 3rd gear syncro ring has been replaced, and the parking lights had to be fixed, short of that the car runs stronger then new @ 40,000 miles.

However the suspension does feel a little more loose. Is there a way to tighten all that up, like put the car up on a lift and torque certain bolts?

27.5k... i've had a rattle in my steering wheel that was due to a loose clip on my airbag, and i have had squeaky rear suspension that has not been solved yet after 3 trips to the dealer for it. i'm just getting tired of trying to get them to fix it. also, i still have a stinky cat, and thats pretty annoying too.

other than those things... she's doin good :D

27.5k and I've had the rotors replaced once and turned once. Lots of rattles and susspension knocking but I just live with it. If it tears up or breaks, I'll just get it fixed under warranty.
