I've got a 187,000 miles on my SC400 and it's never required anything other than routine maintenance and a new timing belt. I'm very confident that I could get over 300,000 miles on this car.

The best car that I've ever owned. Extremely reliable except for radiator repair, I've had no mechanical problems. I have had small problems which is inevitable for an 11 year old car like fuses and relays that control the internal electronics.The Nakamichi stereo system is the best stereo I have ever heard in a car. I usually toss out stock stereo equipment in cars when I buy a car because I'm an audiophile and go after market to get the best sounding stereo equipment available to meet my musical expectations. I didn't have to do that with the Nakamichi because it sounds so good. The car handles like a true sports car, nice power, I've taken this car over 140 mph the car was smooth and quiet.

If you want the luxury of a sedan but you're young at heart and still love the idea of a sports car, this one is for you. Must be childless, or own an SUV as your second car.

This car is incredibly reliable, trouble-free operation, comfy, spacious interior (even for backseat passengers), very smooth transmission, quiet ride, sporty suspension, and the styling is sexy---one day it will be a classic car. My engine mechanic told me this engine is good for 400,000 miles without a rebuild and has never seen an engine failure on these cars. Good to know!
