2007 Honda Civic Si, bought December 2 2006, just over 12,000 miles. Work is 7 miles away and I have to make the trek 5-6 days/week. I'm hopefully transitioning into a new job that will let me work a four day week and spend two of those days at home. So I'll be commuting 2/5ths or 2/6ths as much as I have thus far. I hope to have less than 25K miles by the end of 2012, six years into its life.

Mine has 238,000+ and I currently put on about 60 miles a day. It still gets the same mileage it did when new, and I've never had to do anything more than normal maintenance to it. Never broken down, either. Go Ford! I've had it since it had 0.4 miles on the odometer.

the 2 vehicles i have now my wife and i bought in july. I have a 1997 Blazer with 101,800 and something on it. My wife has a 2003 Buick Rendezvous with 106,225 or so. Obviously both cars were used when we bought them, but we both do a lot of driving. Both vehicles had around 95,000 when we bought them. We have taken several long trips with the Buick. My wife's family all live around the Des Moines area, and we make trips up that way about once a month.

That's what I call a good track record.

It's amazing what regular maintenance does for a vehicle. Doesn't burn any oil yet, either

Until 2 weeks ago 122,000. Now, a little over 400. When it reaches 122,000 I'll think about trading it.
