Same for the most part, it's my daily and I do the occasional spirited driving. It has treated me really well over 7 years/180k miles.

Bought the car new with 4 miles on the clock. I drive 46 miles each way to work so it's mostly highway. I don't beat the hell out of it, but I also don't pamper it. No tracking.
