For those of you that have 00's & and 01's I am wondering how they still run.
Do they still sound/drive the same. In the short course of your ownership, what areas of the car have you seen the most wear, both aesthetically and performance-wise.

 

Keep in mind that I only have 4500 miles on mine and I bought it last May. I kept it in the garage most of the winter; only took it out on nice dry days (like today). I have no complaints about anything on her. She's still as pretty as the day I picked her up and still gets my juices flowing when I take her out.

 

7,000 mi on my 2001. Runs great.

 

actually better than new... it is actually faster-
the only problem is the auto window thing on the drivers side is broken (which is normal for our car).

 

26k miles and counting on my 00 which i picked up in Oct 99. A few paint chips in the bumper, i need a replacement windshield from all the small dings I put in it from driving so fast, but otherwise, it runs great..in fact, better than when it was new!

 

I have 24k miles on my 2001 and I have three problems:
1. The driver's auto down window (although I didn't know it was normal for our car...I thought it was just me)
2. Due to my immaturity and love of extremely tight u-turns, my rear tires (not stock--BFG gforce TA/KDs) are almost totally bald, and
3. due to my bald rear tires, I have now destroyed my front right wheel (also not stock--OZ Superleggera) and some as-yet uknown suspension parts in a violent, unprovoked (for once I was driving like a sane person) spin into a curb on a rainy day last week .

Other than these three things, I couldn't be happier

 

17K on my MY00. Have had no mechanical problems. A TSB on the seat belts, a replaced dash for dimples, and a replaced rear left tail light assembly due to condensation, but that is the extent of the repairs. Still have original tires.
Runs great.

 

'00, 36k miles, no problems, got one of the better times at the autocross this past weekend.

 

18,000 miles absolutely brilliant every mile, drives just the same no rattles, a little quicker after 12,000 miles, no real problems changed wheels due to pitting warrant work so no problem there. I rate this as one of the best cars I have ever owned, and I have had a Porsche that cost over $100,000, so I am comparing with serious motors. Don

 

Just got my 01 state inspected today after a year of ownership with 14.4k miles. No rattles or problems yet. This car's chasis is very solid. The only thing I see that is wearing away is the rear tires but they are still in good condition with over 1/2 of the tread left I believe. I don't think the shop did anything to the car but put the inspection sticker on and maybe checked the lights. The mechanic thanked me for bringing the car in and said have a nice day Sir with a smile. I'm very happy with the car.
