There's one at work with almost 200,000 kms on it. And it's a 2004

Security car.. gets driven 24 hours a day. Oil changes every two weeks.

My last job they had an 03 cavy that had that had close to 250,000 miles on it, before they traded it in for a Civic Hybrid

That car went from Phoenix to Bullhead City and back 5 days a week (about 460 miles round trip)

04 cavalier (5 spd) with about 24k miles and is driven about 340 miles a week. Zero problems and gets 36mpg (without the A/C on, 32-34 with A/C on). Valvoline dino oil every 3k miles. New air filter (dusty in the desert) and tire rotation every 6k.

Most driveing done at 60mph and 20 min of stop and go in town.

I have 116K on my 2002. Bought it as soon as the Ecotec was avaliable. Havent had any major problems (knock on wood) had to replace the ignition module on the IDI cover and thats about it besides the normal stuff. Still runs great.

I had 70K on my 02 before it was totaled. I ran the piss out of it since day one and was also spraying since 30k. Not one single problem. I ran synthetic blend since 3k and changed the oil every 2500k and every 1500 when spraying...
