Not in the Poll, due to multiple answers.

Of the cars I have owned:
-2001 2.7 Tip 125,000 miles. Broken rod destroyed engine prior to my purchase. I expect there were other contributing factors - some coolant had jelled. (good dual row IMSB)
-2001 2.7 5-spd (Donor Car) 120,000 miles. Original engine, swapped into the above car with maintenance items, not rebuilt. (good dual row IMSB)
-2000 S 6-spd 128,000 miles. Unknown failure of 3.2L replaced with non-rebuilt 1997 2.5.
-1999 2.5 5-spd 140,000 miles. Original
-1999 2.5 5-spd 80,000 miles Original
-1999 2.5 Tip 128,000 miles Original engine, rebuilt Tiptronic.
