Purchased a brand-new left over 2017 in March of 2019.
Currently 36,000 on the clock. My daily but only driven in the summer.
Just an Awesome car!!

Still have my 2017, which is about to tick over 80k. Bought it with six miles on it in October 2017. I will probably trade/sell it next year if the new Prelude is any good.

Ordered my little 2015 beast from the factory mid-year 2014; picked her up brand new in Nov and it's been my weekend joy ever since. Always garaged and with less than 23k miles, she looks and runs like new.

Looking for the 150,000 mark, maybe more if I'm still here!

I still have my 2019 in Magnetic Grey. Mileage is a bit over 61,000 miles and I currently have a section of speaker wire going from the left front seat post to the clutch pedal so I can pull it up when it sticks. Had to replace the Slave Cylinder at 33,000 miles and need to get to the dealer about scheduling another Slave Cylinder replacement. Fortunately at 47,000 miles I paid the freight for the extended service plan so the powertrain is covered to 107,000 miles or 6 years.

Have you ever flushed out the clutch hydraulics before (and after) that initial 33K mile replacement, and if so how often??

I am going to take for granted MUCH stop and go, parking lot speed traffic in the car's life so far?

(Friendly warning. The CEOs have figured out that their next bonus for further increasing company profitability, can come from offshoring WFH jobs. Make the company more moola, they get to keep a chunk of it for themselves. Consultants hop from company to company helping CEOs pull the same trick. 🙄)

Not a lot of stop and go because I do "time" the traffic lights, generally get between 34 and 37 MPG doing this. BTW the variation is because I do like to "blow out the carbon" at times. It's a heck of thrill to let all the ponies out after a couple of weeks of driving like an old geezer. BTW I am 70 now so anything that involves crawling under the car is done by the dealer. Oil changes are at 5K and I get the full service package so any flushes and such are what is on the factory schedule. When they did the first Slave Cylinder swap they did the complete master cylinder flush during the Diagnostics and that didn't help at all. The tech said that when he pulled that slave cylinder the seals had the piston rod so bound up he could barely get it to collapse completely. With a fresh piston with the ports open that is a two finger push. It's good old Chinesium at play here and I really hope that NHTSA gets involved and orders these cylinders be replaced for for free for the life of these cars. While it isn't the more than the 2 billion Ford has spent on those Focus transmissions it would still sting a bit and then perhaps Ford would actually start building durability into their products.

I must have had a mid week built car because my car has never suffered like some of those out there. Minimal problems in 10yrs. I still have the original Slave Cylinder in my car. No need to change when I had the new clutch installed when the lsd was fitted. The new clutch was to save money at a later date.

All I’ve ever had to repair is blend door actuators.

The only things I've had to fix in my over 9 years of ownership were two HVAC actuators and an EVAP purge valve, which were out of warranty and paid for by me, and a new APIM screen for my Sync 3 system, which thankfully was done under warranty because that would have been pretty expensive.
