You Americans (I presume) drive quite a bit! I've reached about 6000 miles after one year of ownership.

Almost 130k miles
First, just let me say I plan to own this car until gasoline runs out or is outlawed, and even then I’d probably consider swapping-in an electric powertrain or flintstoning it.
I’m about to crack 130k miles on my mostly stock ‘13 FR-S. Purchased in September 2015 with 20k miles (second owner). I had a 150mile commute for almost three years which really racked up the highway miles. Averaged 34mpg on the built-in meter (not counting speeds below ~5mph). Strictly Mobil 1 0w-20 EP and M1EP, K&N, or Purolator BOSS oil filters with a 15k mile change interval (yes, 15k), though I’m about try out this Idemitsu Zepro high-moly formula (5qts for under $30 on amazon atm), mostly because I refuse to stand in line at Walmart, even for the only affordably priced Mobil 1 on the market. Replaced the OE spark plugs at 120k with no noticeable issues. I’m on my second set of BFG g-Force Comp-2 A/S high performance all-season tires (highly recommend, huge improvement over OE). Still on the original brakes, clutch, o2 sensor, struts, headlights, and battery. (Get an LED dome light, it will save your battery if you’re like me and occasionally forget to turn it off.) The only thing that has outright failed is a tire pressure sensor on one wheel, and the fact that it happened during a tire change makes me suspect it was the fault of a clumsy technician. Mods include Perrin intake tube, Spectre drop-in panel air filter, Radium brake master cylinder brace, Whiteline rear subframe, differential, and transmission bushings, Perrin shifter bushing, DIF Pawn shift knob, and Cusco throttle pedal. I have Motul brake fluid and gear oil waiting to go in, as well as Stoptech braided steel brake lines and pads. As for the interior, the one item that began to show wear first was the OE shift knob. The leather almost wore through on one seam, so took the opportunity to upgrade and replaced it with a nice delrin piece from DIF. The driver seat is definitely showing some wear, but no holes or rips, just the fabric is thinning in some spots; I’ve been very careful to not squash the bolsters when getting in and out of the car. The steering wheel is peeling at 7 and 12, which only started after bringing it in to a body shop (someone probably moved the car with paint thinner on their hands). Other than that just some light scuffs on the silver door trim, kick panel, and near the ignition switch, but the driver window does squeal sometimes after heavy rain. Shifter and hand brake boots are mint. It continues to surprise me how reliable and economical this car has been thus far. :fingers crossed: |
