1992 integra GSR
bought at 239,000km and now sits at 258,000
only took me since feb 08 till now to rack on almost 20k.
drive mission to chilliwack and back daily.
hood/bumper are rock chipped but nothing bad.
major service is clutch, fuel filter, axle, and waiting to install timing belt/waterpump/tensioner.
i feel this car is more reliable than my 1996 honda civic was.. haha.

1. 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 - Pearl White
2. Bought March 1st/07 - Now at 64,500kms. Yikes!
3. Turbo seal has gone bad. All plastic parts of the car are fading to yellow after just over a year.
4. I don't do the major services. Just oil changes. I think I've done about 7 or 8 in the past 17months.
5. Ridiculous amount of power. Great hatch utility. Front heavy means it's not the greatest handler. Have taken it to Alberta twice and it's a monster on the highway. Responds well to mods. Just not much quality stuff out there for the car. In spite of the turbo and paint issue, I still love her to death.

1. 2002 Lexus IS300 (5-spd)
2. Bought at ~110,000 kms, now around 130,000kms
3. This might sound like a pre-sale ad but the car is as solid as a brick - Lexus reliability true to name.
4. The usual fluid changes/maintenance. Timing belt coming up.
5. Don't drive it too often (u-pass). Decent power, RWD, good for a spirited drive, clutch very forgiving and fine in bumper to bumper traffic. Trunk and rear seating lacking (often have to drive several people or haul stuff). Pricey premium gas.
Review on previous vehicle -
1. 2002 Acura RSX (base)
2. Bought at 30,000 km, driven until 60,000 km
3. Someone else is driving it, hopefully enjoying it more
4. Totally neglected it due to lack of interest, but did do the oil changes.
5. Hated it. Decent fuel economy but was a FWD econobox dressed up as a sporty car. The fallacies of youth...

1) 2003 Subaru Impreza WRX
2) Bought new in Nov. 02, currently 106,xxx km
3) I'm not gonna lie, it's battle-scarred. Bumpers scratched up/rock-chipped, miscellaneous scratches dings around vehicle... this has been a daily for me since day one and I've taken her everywhere with me. Also was broken into 4x in a span of 8 months when I lived in Vancouver/Richmond. On the upside, paint is still shiny though
4) Had the 48k service done at Total when it was still around in North Van, and the 96k at Subaru (raped for $900+). Had oil changes done at drive-through shops every 6k for the first half of its life, been doing them myself as of late.
5) Love the car... I honestly can't see myself giving this vehicle up. It's never had any major mechanical problems even through all my mods ricer and otherwise *knock on wood*, it looks different that most everything else on the road, and it's pretty quick. It does it all from taking me to work, buying groceries, and the occasional auto-x. Woo.
