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.

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'm still here with my 04, bought it April 7th of 04 with 83 miles on it, now had about 110,000. Would be a lot more but I bout a 2nd xB(05) Jan of 08 and pretty much stopped driving the 04 for about a yr and a half.

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.

Luv it!
Bought my "04" xB in November "03" and only 45k on the odometer. I drive it to work everyday and an occasional trip out of town. Still luv it just like when I brought it home. By the way 16 mi round trip to work.

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".
