I've only had this car for just over two years. Bought it with 340K-something and went on driving. Of course, I had to do a bit of work to bring it into a good mechanical shape, but I never really babied it. My significant other learnt to drive manual on it (which later prompted an excuse to upgrade the clutch). We both enjoy driving, so the car gets hammered on a regular basis, taken on long distance trips and track days. Most of the maintenance is DIY, except for urgent jobs or special equipment, which gets handled by Active.
