    My 99 Passat wagon managed 70K before it started to burn almost as much oil as gas . . . .

    That's because some Honda's go over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND MILES (see #4)
    Top 10: Cars That Last Over 300,000 Miles - Oscaro
    and as you'd mockingly say . . . . :LOL:
    So - it's kind of an incomplete list. For example this guy named Dante was nearing 200k miles in his Model S almost a year ago (being a 2013 model that would easily put him over 250k miles doing the same amount of driving in the past up to today's date)
    World's Highest Mileage Tesla Model S Has 132,000 Miles And Counting

    Then there's the Lexus hybrid SUV ... mentioned TWO TIMES. What? Why not the Lexus 400h too, since it came out years earlier? Isn't it just as reliable?
    No chevy volt? many have over 250k ... not a big fan due to not being able to stuff my 6'-5" frame in it, but it still ought to get credit. At least it's a hybrid - and some on the list ... well ... see below
    Sienna Hybrid - it already has over 200K miles? Where! I thought it just came out. Ok, I'm guessing even though this is the alt fuel HYBRID news thread - it still gets kudos. I'm good with it.
    :)

    There's plenty of Prius's that blew past 300k and some with 500-600k miles on them from varies of Taxi companies. Most of them are the 2nd gens that are still kicking. I imagine the milage of those old city buses made in the late 80s that are still in use as of today. Maintain, Maintain...
