My '09 diesel has done just under 99,000 kms so will hit the magic "ton" within the next couple of weeks.
Still as happy as ever with her and I'm thinking I might have to treat her to a day spa, a box of chocolates, a romantic evening and a really long ride to keep her happy & reliable  :lol:

Welcome to the club  :cool:

Really nice when you see those five zeros after the 1, isn't it?

Thanks, we'll have to start the "100k Club."

Does this mean I've got membership number 002?   :)

Just out of interest, have you had any problems with the car?

I've had a dream run out of it actually. It drives as well today as it did on the first day (April 15th, 2009).
I've always used Shell Helix Ultra fully synthetic oil and have always idled it down after a run and have had no mechanical problems at all.
The only "issue" as such has been premature wear on the second set of front tyres. The first set were fine (68,000 kms) but the second set have worn out on the insides too early. This has been discussed at length in another thread.
I use the car mainly for metropolitan driving but have done a couple of country trips including one to Geraldton which (including some running around up there) was over 900 kms in one day.
Still love the car and would buy another  :)
