So, how many of us that post here have the six-speeder? My cursory count on this thread is around 26 or 27, and there's probably about 5 or 10 more. That's just over 1% of the six-speeders.

The common new issue seems to be the rear view mirror problem (loose or coming off). Was this with or without the OnStar in the mirror? I know that my OnStar containing rear-mirror seems rock solid.

Just to answer your question, I do not have navi/on star in my CL...that would be interesting if it were the map readers on the forum that had the bad rear mirror!

Yes, exactly what I was getting at. The OnStar mirror has some electronics (wires) going into it, and is probably structurally different then a non-cellular phone containing mirror. I cannot remember offhand if it is mounted to the windshield or the headliner frame, but for the few times I've adjusted it, it did seem solid. Also, when I push the mobile phone on/off button the mirror doesn't move or get out of alignment. I use my OnStar phone with some frequency.

That is great!, when my mirror broke, every time I hit rumble strips before a toll booth it would shake down and point at my companions chest...which wasn't such a bad thing, and I kinda miss it now that i have to manually adjust the mirror to stare down my passenger's shirt jk

So...most miles on a 2003, I hate to win this war, but at 24K, do I have the most in the shortest amount of time! My resale value is crap...not going to be getting that M3 anytime soon!

10K miles since August 2002.

the only problem I've had is the parking brake came kinda lose over 7000 miles or so the dearleship retightened it for free. That's about it. Running strong and really gets great gas mileage now that it's broken in all the way. I'm getting around 340 miles per tank with half highway half city driving. not too shabby.

I do however wish I would have gotten navi. I keep getting lost! Getting lost has it's advantages though, more time to drive

6300 miles, purchased March 27. Daily driver (especially now, since I'm not done with the engine swap on the MR2 yet).

I'm the one that had the problem with the shifter bell crank rubbing on the clutch line. That's the only time she's been back to Acura. I've changed the oil once, added the PIAAs and door sills, and that's it.
