3 years, 4 months in, and 110K is a few KM away. Here's my Findings with this car:

Delivery went smooth. No issues.

14k - Rough Idle "shaking" brampton Mazda said this was normal. I pulled the battery and replaced - Seemed to get better after that.
35K - Installed Mazdaspeed CAI at MoT.
36K - Massive Pothole... Alignment
45K - Installed ProKits (Jimmy)
46K - Alignment

64K - Power steering pump flaky. Part on order - Continued to drive car for a week.
65k - Power steering pump Died. - Replaced under warranty. Rental for 3 weeks on the house. (QEW/Oakville Mazda)

80K - Rotors a bit warped. Pads still fine - Decided to drive as is.
81K - Alignment
96k - Clunking coming from rear in some situations - Told it was probably the mount with some play in it.

104k - Rear Struts completely blown - Bushings as well. All Rear parts replaced. Koni Yellows.


109K - Winter has come - Finding car is starting slower - Suspect Battery.

110k - some "bouncyness" detected in front of the car now that the rear has been fixed.

110K - Rotors warped fairly bad - still on stock pads, but they're nearly done. Cluth seems fine. Wondering a bit about CV joint wear - Odd occasional click sound at low speed corners (parking garage)


Anyone have over 200K km on the forums?

I'm approaching 160,000km on my 2004 Sport GT.

-Engine doesn't burn a drop of oil (Mobil1 since 1st oil change)
-AT Transmission still drives like day 1.
-Still on stock brake pads and rotors.
-Rust

At this point she's worth nothing on the market so I am just going to fix her up this spring/summer and hope she lasts another 4-5 years.
