Yep,

Mind you that's 312,000 km not miles. But there is a guy up here who's up over 600,000 km on his 855t.

Either way, it's been pretty much without incident. The first time it went to the dealer on a hook was only last month. My own damn fault really, fuel pump died and it was noisy since the winter. Gotta use that CAA membership for something.

Other than that, it's been regular maintenance. I'm on the 3rd set of front brakes, 2nd set of pads in the rear, 2nd or 3rd set of sway bar endlinks, did the A/C compressor last summer, can't remember which set of summers, 2nd set of winters (damn Gislaved's last a long time).

What's truly amazing in comparison to my RWD bricks is this one is all original in suspension and exhaust, and being a salty northeast car is almost totally devoid of rust.
