MY04 30,000 miles.
I let the battery run down once.
Other than that no problems at all.
Good idea Rahula

your piling those miles on!8K over 13 months in my 00 car not a single problem with it in any respect!
Now carefully drive by another member

Current 04 I've only had 3 weeks but done ~1k - again absolutely no problems!
Don't forget the nature of forums are people post about their problems to try and find answers rather them let the stealer clean em out
This is a great thread cos we do spend alot of time griping about the little problems our cars have...but most of us love the car to bits..
Something so cutting edge and purpose built yet so docile and reliable, so much a driver's car and yet so easy to drive, so pretty yet so capable of jumping up and biting yer head off if you treat it without respect... 'scuse me I'm off to the bathroom..got one of Mr Clarkson's 'semis'

(I had an) MY02 31k miles
- Corroded alloys (replaced under warranty)
- Moss in rear lights (from water getting in) (also replaced under warranty)
- Plastic strip on back of headrest (got scratched to buggery because of previous lanky owner) (replaced under warranty
)
- Notchy gearbox when cold (this is 'normal' but it was resolved when I had the gearbox oil replaced)
Wouldn't hesitate to recommend the car to anyone else though
