Nearly 95,000 miles since March of 2006 when I took delivery. No problems. All highway driving, 56 miles each way to work. Just swapped out the brake pads with at least another 10,000 miles left on each! Only two traffic lights between my house and work, so very little "brake action" is required during each trip. I change the oil/filter every 3,000miles faithfully, a simple act which contibuted to my getting over 340,000 miles on my original 350 in my '70 Chevelle. I've changed the fuel filter once so far and the original tires were changed at around 85,000 miles. Before winter sets in I'll be flushing and replacing the original coolant and changing the serpentine belt, which actually is still in good conditon as is the original battery. Overall, I can't complain at all. The only issue I had was the fuel pump stumbling problem, but that was handled under warranty by the dealer. By Christmas the clock should hit the 100,000 mile mark. :-)

156,000 on the 06 GT - this is probably the highest you'll find on an S197 - no issues

I've got 136,000 on my 2006 GT auto. I had a idler pulley go out about 6K mile ago and thats about it. I'm getting some hesitation when cruising that I'm trying to track down the cause. I had my fuel pump changed under warranty, tires around 85k miles, and some other TBS issues corrected early on. Overall its holding up great for a daily driver.

At what mileage did you change your plugs? With all the issues over the electrode shields, I'm almost leaning towards waiting for a misfire code before I swap them out. My son had purchased me the Snap-On removal tool kit a while back so I'm well prepared. ;-) These cars are great daily drivers!
