Have an '08 fillmore, and I love it. I did start riding in June last year, and it's been running without complaints since then, mostly doing 8 miles commuts to work for up to 4 times a week.
Had to get new tyres just two weeks ago, but that's about it.
I use the freewheel side of the hub, and still the whole thing is really really silent.
The stem is reversible, so if you need to bring the handlebars up you can just flip it around (I mention this because it helped me to get rid of my neck pain and numb hands, that I had when it was pointing downwards).
Had a go on the '08 plug, and that was shockingly heavy in comparison and didn't feel like it was rolling as well.
