57,000; running like a top. What a great car. Have never had a hint of trouble (the antenna occasionally stays 6 inches or so up when I turn the radio off). I just can't think of another car I'd like to have (that I can afford).
Just put on a set of Falken 512's for all-weather, around town driving; great price; jury's still out on how I feel about them. They feel comfortable and stick pretty well....but it's too early to tell.

Probably, i have only recently gotten some fuel management. Do you run organic oil?
