Hey I think I did pretty well, all things considered. 5 1/2 years and 101k miles isn't too bad.
I am shocked, shocked to see that you were able to resist the new car bug for so many years! I recall the period when you were buying new car every few months
How far you have come!!
I still occasionally had the new car bug, but only for a couple of days and it would pass.

How about you just be busy driving the car and making sure is not driven like a FL retiree....
Give it the go pedal and good gas, and you can re-asess at 30k miles.
How are the tires handling? what do you plan for winter setup?
Fortunately I don't need to rev the nuts off of it, this 1.4T is a real torque monster under 3000RPM, I barely need to go over that.I could probably realistically drive this barely touching 2000RPM and not even be that slow. I haven't gotten the tires back yet- that's scheduled for this coming Monday- part of the reason I wanted to keep the old ones apart from them being better, is that they are definitely better in the winter. Yeah in a couple of years,50k miles or so we'll see where things stand and if I want to go in for the long haul like with the Focus.
