What are your record without failures or problems?
Well, this month my Svx accomplishes 3 years without any problem or unexpected failure that suppose a visit to my repairman. Only an annual routine inspection: filters, oil, fluids...and nothing more.
Visiting this site, I can considerate myself fortunate. My little wonder seems full of energy! What have been your longer time without any mechanical, electrical or any kind of problem in your Svx you can remember?

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
I went years with the 92.
Had its problems Major ones Front brake hose collapse wore out a set of brakes in a week Both front cv joints A bad fuel injector Leaking gas line Rusted trough ps lines, O ring on ps pump Power window master switch Not bad over a period of 17 years. Wife's Acura is 5 years old and almost spent that much on hers, coming up on timing belt replacement and major tune up.$$$$$$$

During this time it was sitting in the garage on 4 stilts with the transmission out. Didn't have a single problem!

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
Seriously - 50,000 miles in a year??? That means you drove on average 137 miles a day every day for three years!

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
Thou shalt not taunt the svx gods! I predict miserable failures in the near future.

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
We have a 2010 Outback that is 16 months old. The odometer just turned 100,000 miles. Not one problem.
It's hard to believe that her mileage will surpass the mileage on my 16 yr. old polo by early summer. Just glad not to be putting the mileage on the SVX. Only 900 miles last year. Commuting takes up all my free time, an occasionally my desire to drive at all. .

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
That kind of daily mileage just amazes me, hope it's worth it.

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
I'm just coming up to a year without a problem of any sort.
A year ago new MAF and new valve covers and a comprehensive tune up, and a new paint job. Prior to that, it sat covered in a garage for 3 years. Currently no leaks, no rattles, no weirdness that I'm aware of. However, I am always aware that something could go wrong at any time in this quirky 20 year-old car.

Re: What are your record without failures or problems?
My old girl turns 20 this year and has just clocked up 60,000Kms. She's well cared for and I've had zero problems.
The daily driver is a 2004 Legacy R30. It's approaching 120,000Kms and is in excellent condition apart from a dodgy wire on the trip computer...
