My 03 Q45 just hit 170,000 miles and its been remarkably trouble free. The mpg has never been great...20.1 average, Ive replaced one exhaust manifold, and one cam timing sensor, and thats it. People on car forums typically post about problems and issues, so I decided to be different and post something good...lol

Yes on oil consumption but Ive managed to slow it down to one quart every 2500 miles by switching from syn to dino and using a heavier weight....10w40 winter, 20w50 summer

I bought it in 07 with 60,000 miles on it for $22K. It was purchased new, and has remained in socal there is no weather/climate related damage
