Made to last 250,000miles

[Whiting087]

IMO, the list lost credibility at #15. Hyundai Elantra

but I do agree the Civics will have minimal problems reaching 250k miles

both the K-series and L-series engines are super reliable, capable of reaching even 500k miles and more

I had a 2005 Hyundai Elantra with over 225,000 miles with no major problems (caliper problem around 200k and both o2 sensors at 220,000). No oil consumption, 33mpg, 75/25 hiway/town driving, oil changes every 3500 mi. ONLY REASON I got rid of it was after 12 years I was sick and tired of driving it and wanted a new, shiny toy. Whoever ends up with that car should expect another 100,000 miles at least out of it with only minor repairs. So...IMHO... it was a GREAT $13,995 ...out the door...car

I havent replaced any pads yet, it is all hwy miles. Rotors need machining though

Damn impressive! Makes me not feel too bad having over 80,000 mi. on my 2016 EXT. Probably 3/4 of it is hwy. also. Same pads, new tires at 63,000, Ktuned since 61,000.

Unbelievable, the next one driving with his first pads at such a high mileage. Maybe that has something to do with that highway speeds are usually a bit slower than Autobahn speeds.

63,000 miles with one set of tires are also pretty impressive. What tire brand did you had on your car? And were that summer tires or all season tires?

They were the all season Continentals. I tried to get them again, but the tire place was out, so i had to go with Yokohamas. Bad choice, lots of tire noise and not as good of a grip.

My 2016 turbo cvt just passed 200k last night i drive about 7,000 a month since 2018

Yikes. I hope you're keeping that bad boy.

Yikes. I hope you're keeping that bad boy.

He's got his money's worth with or w/o IRS mileage reimbursement. I'd buy a used 200k-mile 1.5T Civic for $6k in a heartbeat if it has clean carfax with mostly highway miles. I currently have two cars with the 1.5T engine and one with 2.0T. No ragrets.

I hope the job he is commuting to pays six figures. Driving that much takes a toll on you in more ways than depreciating car value. I drive an F150 for work all over the midwest ~50k miles a year. 7k a month is brutal. That’s trucker milage, and truckers often aren’t healthy people.

I hear ya. I drove my '94 Teg (manual) to the ground for work @ 20k miles/year and I thought that was brutal in LA traffic. Ended up donating it @ 225k miles; it was the most reliable car I'd ever owned. If the body/paint wasn't falling off, it could go another 200k.

It's such an enormous waste of lifetime and money, plus the rise of the risk getting involved a car accident. But sure, it's not always possible to move near your workplace.
Sorry for being off topic

The better question is do I care? At 18k per year I still have over 10 years before I’d even hit 100k. There’s a higher chance I’m on to an new car and my Niece is driving this versus me hitting that mileage

Yes for 3 more year atleast unlimited mileage drivetrain warranty

The mileage deduction is so generous i dont pay anything throughout the year and still get a tax refund

Im only gone for 7-10 hrs a day commute included. And not so worried about depreciation because I definitely get my moneys worth if the car lasts me 7 years and i get enormous tax breaks .58c per mile at 80k miles a year when in actuality my car costs about .05c per mile plus maintenance and depreciation. Bottom line is i keep most of the money i make.

2005 Hyundai Elantra used Beta II engine which is based off of Mitsubishi Sirius engine. Those were very reliable.

However, starting in the 2010's Hyundai developed their own in-house engines, gamma, theta II, which turned out not as reliable.

I owned 2011 Sonata and 2015 Sonata, but ended up trading it in because of endless engine problems.
