I have 178,000 km on my 2005 Passion Diesel. (For my American cousins, that is about 107,000 miles.) I am the second owner. The previous owner is a diesel mechanic and he replaced the injectors just before he sold it. It runs perfectly!

I just turned over 33K on the way to work this morning. Took delivery 5/2/08, only 2 small issues first couple of months of ownership, and been flawless since. Had the 2.0 update done in May.

Like has been posted above, I find myself driving the car just because it's fun. I drive for the fun of driving. Never had a car this enjoyable before. I'll put 200K on this one, and give it to my son when I get another!

Just turned 1000 miles and still have all the Brabus emblems. No problems, but I am thinking of upgrading the door speakers. I have the $350 sound system, but it sounds only fair.

43, 42, and 44 mpg so far

I learned to use the paddle shifters, and what a difference in enjoyment and normalcy in shifting. The car seems a little more sprightly as well.

The Behemoth is holding up well after about 17,000 miles. I had a few minor issues in the first months of driving it (a check engine light and some rattles/noises). All of those were taken care of by the dealer and it's been great since.

I figure San Francisco is a good place to durability test a car because the roads here are so bad, terrain is so hilly, and the air is so salty in the Ocean Beach neighbourhood where I live. I notice the car has been getting a bit more rattly when I go over violent bumps (some repairs leave curb-like elevation changes in the street), but I think I'd expect this in any small car that puts up with this kind of abuse. It certainly happened to my 2002 Golf. I have high hopes of getting well into the 6-figure mileage range in this little tank.

1,128 miles since 3/28/09 and nary a problem. Well, okay, one problem. I work too many hours to really take Tiny Red out and about as much as I'd like..

21K. Had to change front tires because because of wear on the inner groove. $65 a piece, I could live with that.
