Hey! I'm in the high millage club!
I bought it pretty high 2 years ago. Had the turno rebuilt by dealer at 90k. No major issues to note besides the coolant hoses breaking on me last year but those were easy replacements.
Ordering a zzp catback, trifecta tune, and ddm intake today after 2 years of ownership. Was going to bspec rally car it but Cages are expensive and holding me up.

She has had nothing but Amsoil in her!! I highly recommend it. I also have a 2004 Colorado 3.5 pick up with 310,000 on it also using Amsoil.

Sedans Rule!
I bought it new and I'm up over 105,000 miles now, no more warranty. Have been tuned to 23 psi since about 33,000 miles, still running good.
Repairs I've needed are two new coil pack assemblies, new radiator, a heater hose, other than that it's been oil/filter changes every 5,000 miles. Oh and at 100,000 I finally put a new air filter and plugs in, and the second cabin filter. I've replaced a couple things that ended up not needing to be replaced, and upgraded some stuff but overall it's been really pretty reliable and inexpensive to own. I'm happy.
