1- Winter tires one additional set(4)
2- Regular tires 5 tires so far.
3- Brakes once.
4- Alternator once.
5- Battery-2
6- Interior- leather had to be replaced.
7- Clutch at 30,000 miles.
The aforementioned are the out of pocket items I have had to replace so far. Is a daily driver that I have used since Dec of 2004 every day. In all seasons and alll weather. I love the car and plan keeping for the foreseeable future.  |
Interesting. Here's mine. Given all the horror stories I've heard about reliability, I feel that my car has been pretty reliable so far. Most of the stuff that broke was wear and tear related and/or occured during the warranty period , thankfully, ( '04S with 60k):
1 battery
1 horn (but replaced both at same time since cheap)
2 RMS seals (one at 17k the other at 29k) , both under warranty
1 front control arm bushing
1 engine mount
1 engine fan temperature sensor
1 flywheel , clutch release lever and ball pin (42k) under warranty
1 right axle bellow (42k)
1 MAF sensor (50k)
2 sets of rear tires
1 set of front tires
Still on original clutch and brakes, but will be doing front brakes this spring.
