I have a 1993 GS SE that was bought by the first owners in 1994 (January). I purchased the car in Decembre of 1995 with 15k miles on it. As it stands now, the car just turned over 89k miles yesterday.<P>- Meg

94 manual GS with 153,000 km's. I've put on a new muffler and new exhaust pipe from the muffler up to the catalytic converter. I'm putting on 4 new tires tomorrow. Engine runs great, only problem is that the transmission seems to grind if I shift too fast from 1st to 2nd (not sure what that would be). Oh, and sometimes I get that tinny-sounding rattle at about 2000 rpm....I assume that's the heat shield around the catalytic converter (I haven't had a chance to check yet).

Ours is a 94 RS and it only has about 65000 miles on it. It already had almost 50000 miles when we bought it about 2.5 years ago. It runs perfect.

Just about a hundred more miles till I hit 222,222!!!! No that's not one 2 too many. I got the car with 146K miles on it over two yrs. ago and commute to work everyday at 124miles round trip. I just hope I remember to watch the odometer when the magic number comes up. Missed the 200K roll-over. :(<BR>Still runs great btw.

Hmm, I have 155,000 km on mine. It runs very nicely....though it does burn a little oil...<P>the way I see it, that just gives me more reason to swap a KL-ZE in spring (at least thats my excuse I give my girlfriend :)

Mine's getting close to 104K, and really is doing worse than it should...;_; Ticks, runs a little warmer than it used to...but then again, she's run for a solid 2 years with nothing other than a ruined valve cover gasket (leaked oil). There's the coolant leak, but other than that, she's doing great for me. She gets me from point A to point B without blowing up, so I'm fine.
