Default Question to users of 2008/2009 of years of production?

Hi I am writing to you from Poland.

What are your mileage in their cars, with production 2008/2009?
Do you have any problems? In Poland fell yet another engine of these models? Or maybe someone knows what component is responsible for these failures?

HHas anyone driven a car with the years of production without malfunction 30 - 40 or 50 thousand miles?

I have done 65k miles in my Feb 2008 and the engine hasn't missed a beat.
But I did have a new clutch and then a new gearbox, both under warranty!

50,000 trouble-free miles in my Apr 08 plate. It was a Euro import to the UK via Cyprus, which may or may not make a difference.

There's a whole topic about the 09 engine failures.

Early 08 ones seem to be fine still..

How many S2000s are there now in Poland? Not many, I guess.

Two failures may be a statistical anomaly among few cars.

There seem to be a lot of failures on this board, but people rarely post to say theirs hasn't. So it's hard to judge, really.

Bit like the Porsche Boxster's rear main oil seal; they still fail, but now only at what might be considered a normal rate for a typically unreliable sports car. But because of the early problems they get highlighted, perhaps unfairly now.

The problem is not how many cars in Poland, the problem is that all of the years 2008 and 2009 we know are starting to have engine failure.

In Poland there are dozens of S2000 from different years of production, but only those of the year 2008/2009 are so severe that no reasonable course of car, engine failures!???
