I just hit 22,000 miles. Only problems were: low freon and a broken satellite antenna ). I replaced the 20" Goodyears at 20,000 miles with the new Michelins and they were an improvement in both ride and noise without any loss in handling.
Other than the above mention repairs, the car has been bullet proof. It seems like the performance has improved a little as I reached 20,000 miles. The engine seems to rev freer.
I bought this car as a longterm keeper and, so far, it's looking pretty good.

Amazing that you were able to get 20K miles out of your tires I didn't think the 718 tires could last that long.
My initial thought exactly, as well. I don't think Eagle F1s come on very many 718s from the factory -- interesting to note that they wear reasonably well.

Would you elaborate on the broken satellite antenna? My XMSirrus signal seems fine, but my display has a constant message saying something like "check the XM antenna"

thanks

Great update, thanks! So far, I am lagging behind you. My 2017 has been in my possession for 15 months and has 8,000 on the ODO. The tires are down to 5-6 / 32 front and rear.


Other than a few occasional rattles, the car has been perfect.
