It has the 5.9 L V-8 wich alot of people thought had sub-par engine life, but take good care of your vehicle and it will return the favor

I've got a 96 Subaru Legacy Outback with the infamous 2.2L motor. I bought it 2 years ago with 88k on it. I have 138k now. I'm wondering how long she'll go.

Knock on wood but she's been very reliable to date.

we have a civic that has 300k miles on it.. the only problem is that it needs a new catalytic converter (which in that car is combined with the header.. so it gets more expensive)

2006 Subaru Outback

My car is getting to "high Mileage"

3 years old and I have 64,000 miles on it already. Just put new tires on it and still havent had to change the front breaks.

Its what happens when you have a 300 mile (one way) commute.

yeah man my dad tells me all about his MG-B  that he had in highschool.  it was his first car ever, and he said it was the best car ever.  untill he got his 69' camaro ss.  then he went to africa for 3 years and got a jetta when he got back.  said he kicks himself everyday for selling those cars.

my sick-as-fuck '93 ford aerostar lasted up till about 235,000 miles, after much abuse. It was basically the electrical system pussing out, so it ran well until then.

My uncle is known to drive across the country dozens of times a year. As a result, he's puts thousands of miles on his car every year. Both of the below are still in daily use. The 2003 is his current car.

1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee: ~350,000 miles
2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee: ~350,000 miles

my 97 mazda 323 was at 188k miles when our government decided to subsidize the german car market. so we decided to collect the money and buy a new one. it would have easily hit 250k though

of course they deffiniteley are much different cars but i still do like our 78' its a blast to drive around and its yellow! but not as sweet as a 60's model would be.  we also got ours for free from a friend and we had tried to buy one we would have tried to get a late 60's model like my dad had in law school.
