r34,
I have an '06 Aero with the 2.8 V6. I'm a sales rep and do high mileage driving.
I now have 89k miles and have had no problems to speak of with the car. The coolant reservoir replacement (common) is the only issue I've had.
I LOVE the power of the engine, wouldn't trade it for a 2.0 for anything. And, as an owner of a '99 9-3 (traded in on '03; 178k miles) and an '03 9-3 (totaled with 23k miles) I know the difference.
I added the BSR stage 1 upgrade via PPC and have never looked back. Left more than a few Acura's, BMW's, and Dodge Magnum's in my wake. Always love the look on their face ;) Also, I'm still getting 28 mpg Freeway and 22 mpg city even with my lead foot.
Search BSR PPC for more info.
Loren
BTW-I know no one will believe me, but I'm still on original brake pads and rotors all around. Unbelievable. Guess I like to go more than I like to stop.
