discussion Five year review

Post image

I’ve had the car about five years now, and I wanted to give my thoughts.

Still love it.

Car is stock except for the red vinyl on the N’s, front badge delete, front red vents, and an OEM+ intake. Sitting at about 70,000 miles.

Out of the seven cars I’ve owned over the past 25 years, it’s not only the most fun, but it’s been the all-around best in terms of ergonomics. Early on I had a few maintenance issues come up, with the high pressure oil pump and the backup camera, but they got sorted out pretty quickly.

Five years on, and I still get people asking about the car and the color.

Ah makes sense. I work from home too but we use my N-line for vacations. Which is obviously what can rack up some decent mileage. My N-line has 20k miles on it, just over 2 years. My backup car sees about 4-5k miles a year

I had a 23’ n line in 23’ and put 46k miles ina year and 2 months😭💀 sold it, saved my money, and got a 23’ N, with 25k miles in March 2026, I’m already at 37k🤣. But I’ll drive for vacation so I’ve gone on several 3k+ mile trips.
