Still here. We got Stubby, our '06 Camo with a stick, in the fall of '05. After about 30K miles, he's still about perfect, taking me to work and home when weather doesn't allow two wheels and going on shopping trips and other hops with my wife when long-distance doesn't require the comfort of the Camry.

This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship . . . .

Bought mine in Nov. '05 and still drive it almost daily. About to pass the inevitable 100k mark, and still running like a top.

Bought my RS3 in May 2006, literally off the transporter. I had stopped by to test drive an xb and was thinking black but saw the green and fell in love. Just rolled over to 115,000 miles on my way in to work this morning. Been changing out tires way too often so it must be time for some new shocks or something (I know nothing about cars, I'm a computer guy). I'm with CharredEarth, this is the first car I've felt was "me" and I want it to live forever.

The only real issue I've had is the fact that it seems to turn invisible when parked. Rear bumper replaced once and front bumper replaced twice. All three times due to someone backing into it while it was parked. How you don't see a bright green box in a sea of asphalt is beyond my understanding.

^ probably need an alignment. You should get one after your new set of tires.

Still original owner here who has been back and forth on selling so many times but can't part with it.

81K+ plus since 05.

bought my 06 in october of 2005. i have about 80,000 trouble free miles on it. i love this car, and will probably keep it as long as possible. i didnt really like the second gen xb or xd, so i bought a mercedes c class as my second car. its a shame, because i dont like any of scions offerings for 2011.

I bought mine new in '05 and haven't once thought of trading it in.... well, except for when the RS4 came out. I love that Torched Penny. I'm not real sure what I'd buy if something happened to the box, probably find another one.

Bought 9-28-05
'06 with 54k now. Toyote messed up the TRD install w clutch and they finally rebuilt trannie (5 spd) at 30k...needed can gears at around 40k. All that stuff was waranteed but I really am concerned with extended warrantee running out. These are only related to Toyota and don't seem to be as reliable as Toyota stuff...still...it has neve left me stuck. Brakes, battery still original. IRF it were for sale (it ain't- I love it!) it is just this side of "Bristol Condition".
