C32 update everyone?
Just wanted to see how everyone's doing so far. How many miles driven so far (I'm especially interested to see which C32 owner has driven their car the most). Any problems arise and resolved, etc.
Miles: 3700
Problems:
1.) Alignment-resolved after one visit
2.) Headlights angled to far down-resolved after one visit
Other than that everything's been great.

3500 miles.
First problem came just yesterday. My key started to act up intermittantly. In one day, it went dead three times, never happened before. Once in a blue moon the seat does not move forward when I put the key in as I set. It seems to have fixed itself (only was a problem one day), but I'm taking it in tomorrow anyway.
I'm also having the dealer check the following while I'm there. I don't anticipate it being at the dealer often:
1) alignment
2) make sure the right exhaust tip is as high as left (reported fault on message boards).
3) slight noise from seat belt buckle by my right hip
4) window washer fluid container is dry
I wrote a lot, but really I have had no problems except for the one that had not occured again. I love it!

10900 miles here.
Problems so far:
1) Sway bar bushing - changed, but still waiting for the newly designed bushing to arrive
2) The infamous "jerk"/"squeak" - I dont want to live with it, but what can I do?
3) Driver seat moving sideways - not very noticable, but pretty annoying, dealer didnt do anything about it
4) Rear caliper became rusty - painted silver by dealer
5) Leather quality - still hoping dealer will change it for me one day!!
Despite of the problems so far, I am very happy with my purchase.
P.S. Guy - how are you? Havent seen you for a long time!

7600 miles. No problems, really - a couple "bugs" -
I very occasionally get diagnostic meesgaes for TeleAid, windshield washer fluid, and coolant, but when I check into them everything is ok.
I've a got a squeak in the dash under the steering wheel, and I can hear the seatbelt mount on the B pillar rattle a little occasionally.
No oil changes, no service, no nuthin. I'm one of those guys that follows the FSS - I still have many months to go before A service!
The only other problem - NOT ENOUGH POWER! HAHAHAAA!
NEED MORE POWER!!! MUHAHAHA! Smoky burnouts through only two gears? Come on!
Sorry, I'll calm down here momentarily
