I have my 04 for almost a year the only thing that went wrong was the gas cap broke after I filled up the car. I called the dealer and they told me to drive by. They had a fellow waiting for me with the part. I didn't even have to get out of the car. He replaced the cap and asked me for my mileage. I hope everything goes as smooth

Hey EG with all that Rice, I was wondering if you have a button or switch that will throw a club into your hand to beat off all the chicks your ride has pulled in

I'm not sure we will really know the answer to this for 4 or 5 more years. My wife had a 1993 Toyota Camry that we put 190,000 miles on before trading it in. I know that car won't compare to the Vette in the fun factor but I do hope my 04 will get at least 100,000 miles.

14k on mine. Rear tranny seal, transaxle boot, recalls, thats all. Runs great, no regrets. Even if I had a ton of problems, I still would have no regrets......I've got MY Vette.

23 Months and ZERO problems, and best of all no recalls on my 03 A4 as of yet!
Nothing but miles of smiles I even find myself taking the long way home just to drive a little longer

I've got an '03 coupe, and the only problem I've had is that it wouldn't start on three or four occasions. It's probably the VATS, or Vehicle Anti-Theft System, but it can't really be traced and repaired unless it's happening in front of the mechanic. It hasn't happened recently ... about time for it to kick in again. 
According to the service records, the previous owner had the rotors replaced by the dealer.
Otherwise, no problems.

I'm good at 30K. The power-brake booser failed at about 200 miles, have changed the fuel sender at 24K and put in a Red-Top before I really needed it.
