We got over 200,000 miles on our first Toyota, A Corolla, and the only things we had done to it were brakes, tires, etc, the usual maintenance stuff. Our second Toyota, A Scion xB, has over 120,000 miles on it. Again, no issues. We just got a Nissan Cube (Toyota’s rejiggered xB sucks IMO), and it’s been recalled for a couple of dinky deals, a latch and an idiot light thingie. Other than that no probs, and we’ve got over 20,000 miles on it already and love the car. Before these three we always bought GM, until the poor quality and legacy costs made that a non-starter. We won’t be buying from the Big Three any time soon.

I got 280,000 miles out of a '79 Celica. Had the engine completely redone, new clutch, then gave it to my daughter to drive for another 60K after she totaled her first car on icy roads.

'Yota's are very good cars for the most part!

I heard that Celica went another 55K before it was sold for $300 and then turned into a race car at a local track......hehehehehehe......what a life for 'Terry' (that was his name I gave him)
