Wow! That's a lot of miles in only 5 years. I thought I was really putting them on mine, 70,000mi in 2 1/2 years, but you have me beat by about 10,000 miles per year.

Have you had any trouble other than routine maintenance?

Yes,oil changes on 30%. Have yet to change the spark plugs and fuel filter. Clutch replaced at about 140k. Front brakes replaced around 70k but somehow one of the cv joints got fried and needed replaced,found one at a yard. The recall for the valve springs and a tank of bad fuel are the only serious reasons the car has ever been to Honda. And 4 fender benders. This car is a beast!

Wow the miles I put on mine are microscopic compared to yours I have barely got just under 8,000 Miles on mine in this first year of mine being bought or built because mine was built July of last year and bought it in September. Wow that is probably more then I will ever put on my car thats for sure!

You are an example for all of us.
My great failure has been trading quality vehicles before their time.
To get your money's worth you have to drive it. I have put 4,000 miles on my five week old '13 Base, but I went to Fallingwater.
