I bought my 2006 XA in 2019 with 112,000 miles on it.

I bought my 2006 XA in 2019 with 112,000 miles on it. It has a little over 300,000 miles on it now. I change my oil every 3,000/3,500 miles. I have replaced the plugs once when I first bought it, and put new brake pads on it. I just now put new rotors and brake pads on it too. The air has worked great this whole time. It is a 5 speed manual, and the clutch is still doing good. Great car. My guess is about 33 MPG overall. I love this car. I'm looking to buy another one.

Cute very reliable

Best car I ever owned. Put 300,000 miles on it. No major breakdowns only change the master cylinder one time was the main costly thing at about $350 so it to a friend at $300,000 he put another $187,000 mi on it only changing parts for the air conditioner before he decided to junk it at 487, 000 not fancy but extremely reliable
