i voted other. ive heard of a bunch of fox's that have other 350K miles on them on the stock block. and does anyone know long that guy has gone without doing an oil change??

 

True for the states...but what about japan? Those bastards are used to going to school 7 days a week. They'll punch in at Mazda 1-2 hours early and spend as much overtime as they can doing the best job they can.



Colin's buddy has a Mazda Protegé with 300 000+ kilometers on it. He absolutely beats the crap out of his car and the thing doesnt consume a drop of oil.

 

my friends 98 mitsubishi montero just died it broke a cam a bunch of valves timing chain and a bunch of other fun stuff this was at only 80K.

 

Volvo.. I've seen at least 3 of them over 1 million miles

 

my buddys b2000 has been to hell and back, with out skipping a beat.

 

I knew of a 1987 town car that the last I heard it had over 500,000 miles on it

and it was still going strong, nothing but oil changes, even had the

original transmission.



people get alot more then 500,000 out of a car these days

 

just read about a late 60's mercedes diesel, it went 900,000miles on the factory motor, they put in a new engine drove it the last 100k and the mercedes bought it back

 

when I daily drove my RX-7 it was just as reliable as my

Lexus is today, I never had to fix either of them

 

I'd have to say oldschool rotaries are reliable because I've been able to fix everything that has ever gone wrong with just a few tools and a small garage. That, to me, is extremely important.



When it comes to piston engines and new cars... I'd rather have an enima (that's not a new car name, as far as I know, yet ).

 

Austin Coopers of course.
