Update from the last post at 39k. Im now at 50k and so far so good. It has been tuned and ran on e50 for the majority of the time. May need to do front brakes soon.

I just turned 40k on my 2022. I haven’t had it long. Runs great! I changed to full synthetic When I bought. Synthetic made a noticeable difference.

68k on my 20 ST. Cracked cat replaced but nothing else so far. Been using synthetic oil since first change. Assuming will need to do front brakes and battery soon.

I haven’t done much. I drive straight highway for 50 miles each way 5 days a week. Synthetic seems a bit smoother on acceleration. Premium fuel feels better as well.

2020 with 80k here, only major problem has been a rear diff, but probably attributed to having to run it 20 miles on the spare. Also replaced a wheel bearing at 50k but other than that no major issues outside of electrical bugs. Went to trade it in saturday, got a reality check on how bad these things have tanked in value in the last few months.

Hello,

I think I may have a bad rear wheel bearing with 51k.
Any sounds I should look for to conform?
I do hear what seems to be almost like a light rubbing, almost like when a brake rotor or pads need replacing.

My 2023 has 29K miles after 16 months. Just had to have my strut caps replaced. Otherwise, rides smooth.

2021 ST original owner - Aside from a torn CV boot, axle and backup cam replaced under warranty, all annoyances have been around software or a low quality interior.

My driving style has averaged 13-17 MPG through the years. Have used exclusively 93 Premium for its life, except during break in where I drove it 5K miles in under 2 days. Also, has been full synthetic since 9K mi. Kept my winters on year round since 15K - KO2s (noisy and bad in rain) and now A/T4Ws ((y)).

Catch can on since 5K miles, cleared out at each oil change. Custom magnaflow exhaust system at 5K mi has been holding up. Purchasing dealership disabled auto-engine off, the double honk when leaving car while on, and turned on auto high beams at delivery. These were all fantastic tweaks that made me enjoy the ST more.

Techs recently wiped all the programming with recent 24B47 update. So let’s see if I can stand it without.

update on mine: it needed to have the trans. rebuilt…. But seeing others up here with 120k+ gives me hope lol. Especially since i put 20k miles on mine in 9 months.

Nice to see the actual high mileage guys (100K+), which shows the longevity of the STs,

Going on 55K on my 20' ST. Recall on 360 done, purge valve replaced. No major issues (knock on wood). Currently a daily driver, averaging 250-300 miles a week.
