Cars that last a million miles

[morningstar]

I had a Subaru from '84 to '91 with 260k on it with the original clutch. Why I gave it to my sister, I'll never know. My sister, niece and nephew all drove it for the next couple of years -- still with the same clutch! The only thing I ever did to that car besides oil changes, brakes and tires - was a heater core. I don't know what the mileage ended at when the floor finally rusted through and they didn't think it was worth it to fix. After all that they got money for it when they drove it to the junk yard. Cars after that, not so great, a '91 Mercury (escort type) (got to 144k before being totalled) and a '96 Dodge Stratus (too big of a car for the 4 cylinder engine - oh well)

I now have another Subaru, a 2001 and am hoping for the same wear as with the first one. I have 119k on it but have encountered some problems thus far. The dreaded computers are giving me a fit, that engine light argghhh! But I'm hopeful.

It is wonderful to hear so many great high mileage stories, happy motoring all!

I really would like to drive more than one car in my lifetime. After awhile, it just gets boring driving the same car.

I agree with csch. My husband's motto is "life is too short to drive ugly cars" I had a t shirt made for him with that saying and a picture of our three "pretty" cars!

2 years ago I purchased a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. To date I have put over 70k on this baby. I hope that Nissan will give me a free car when I hit 1 million miles!
