Thumbs up Another 2005 Short 5K Mile Review

My TL was manufacturered and received in 11/05.
Today it reached 4999 miles.

Averages

MPG = 18
MPH = 20
243.48 Hrs driving time

Low MPG/MPH due to lots of time driving really slow taking pictures for my job.

Problems to date = 0
Trips to dealer = 0

No squeeks, no rattles, nothing has fallen off. Slight expected stretching of driver seat cushion leather. Slight vibration attributed to low profile tires (by me).

It's not perfect but is darn good. I'm a happy camper.

Back to the Future?

Thanks for the stats and update. I will post an equivalent review at my 600 mile break-in checkpoint.

However, one may argue that your 5000 mile review report is purely fantasy or a dream since you will not be receiving the car to start driving, nor will it be manufactured, for another 8 months (11/05).

I'm at 4800, just had the oil changed at my local place. Car is real good, I would not change anything.

I'm to busy; YOU have to much time on your hands. OK 11/04, thanks.
