We've had it a bit over 2 years --about 30K miles-- and it has been very reliable. It's a CPO car, so we've had a couple things fixed on that, but nothing huge. We live in a semi-rural area and she gets 23-24 mpg locally on regular gas. We get 28-32 on the highway.
Very comfy for long hauls. 10-12 hour drives are no biggie (just did one). I've come to like it about as much as I do my '96 9000 CSE, although it is not as powerful. I'd buy another, or even replace my 9K with one.
We pulled the service records and knew the oil had been changed every 5-6K and there had been no issues in the first 40K miles, so we were comfortable with getting this one. Be sure to get one with a know service history and you should be fine. And use a good indy, not a dealer.
