Check In If You've Never Had A Major Problem With Your TL

'06 6MT with 133k. I've owned the car since 2008 when it had 80k. Seized rear caliper and leaking power steering (fixed for $0 under a lifetime recall) are the only out of the ordinary issues. The car has had a few lingering annoyances but I've never doubted its reliability for a second.

08 5AT with 88K. nothing at all.

All these high mileage reports. My 2008 is just a baby at 89k. I made the decision based on this thread since it still looks like new I am going to keep it for the long haul or as long as it will go. Looks like I will be on this forum for another 10 years hopefully

I have several issue with my Aspec 05 but not major one at least. Motor wiper, APP sensor, LCA bushing, Fuel Caps, Valve Cover Gasket due leaking and rack and pinion failure. Now I'm having issue with Axle and rear tire cupping. Very reliable car but the rear tires cupping pissed me the hell out. It cost me a lot of money to replace the tires.

Transmission needed redone around 160,000 miles
Dash was cracked to shit around same miles. Got it fixed and it is already showing things that happened last time before the crack came through Just a few months after I got the dashboard replaced.
Cup holder cover is broken at 180,000 miles
The check engine light has been on since all of that. I believe it said some emissions things was broken. $700 for the part, no thank you.
Car would vibrate when accelerating around 60mph+. Got that fixed.
I have 197,000+ miles now and everything is beautiful.

Original owner of my '06 6sp manual. Coming up on 53k miles and about to replace the original tires, the rear sway bar to tighten suspension up a bit, and the stupid cup holder due to the broken cover. In other words, no issues.

At 88,000 miles, I needed an alternator. Luckily I had an extended service policy. It cost me $25.
