I posted this in FB, but I thought I'd share it here too.
So my one year anniversary with this car is coming up tomorrow. Just thought I'd share some statistics.
Total mileage: 10,300 km (~6400miles)
Fuel costs: $1810 (all values in CAD)
Ave fuel economy: 10.9 L/100km (21.5mpg)
Best: 9.5 L/100km (25 mpg)
Worst: 27.5 L/100km (8.5 mpg)
Insurance: $2800
Service costs: ~$100 for oil and filter change (since labour was free:smile:)
Other costs:
PPF: $6000
Wheel refinishing: $1000
Track day: $500
Misc. parts: ~$800
Issues with the car:
1. Dash and door rattles. They started after about 1000km. I got them fixed in April, but now some new ones are appearing.
2. The mysterious case of the loose oil drain plug.
Other than that, the car has been trouble-free.
Of course, that doesn't mean other things haven't gone wrong:
-Broken front grille due to THAT F***ING BIRD
-Rock chip on edge of roof, right where the PPF ended
-Rock chips on wheels
-Scraped front bumper due to my incompetence at parking
Overall, I'm extremely happy with this car. It gets a ton of attention (too much, in fact) and I absolutely love driving it. It very much reminds me of my old NA2 NSX in terms of driving characteristics.
