clutchs...brakes...basically most parts that need to be replaced ("wear-and-tear items") are more expensive then a honda. therefore, its "high" maintenance.

no different then my STi...which wasn't so high. What i consider high maintenance is replacing tires every 10k miles

Well, I did the 30,000 service this summer - changed all the fluids. I figure I spent close to a 100 bux - in other words two tanks of gas at the price it was a month ago.
