The guy had a picture of his Echo and him appear in a local paper, advertising for a quick change oil shop. The ad documented the 500k miles. He works very hard. Six or seven days a week, often in excess of eight hours a day. > Why is someone using the "T"-word in this newsgroup? :-) Because here among friends, it goes without saying that a Honda will last longer than a Toyota? :-) |

How long can > a Honda Civic actually go without rebuilding the engine? I have been refurbishing a long idle 1983 Honda Civic FE and had the fortunate experience to "borrow" an '82 model to use as a basis to hook up the rats nest of vacuum lines etc. The borrowed car's odometer failed at 324,000 miles and the A/C quit when the owner put in a can of "stop leak." No major engine or transmission work other than consumables along with water pumps, starter rebuilds, alternators and a new carburetor. An enviable record that would give GM, Ford etc. nightmares... My FE project has 110K and I intend to drive it until the wheels are square... JT |

Re: How Much Mileage Can a Honda Civic Get?
My CRX has gone 260,000 miles without a single issue. Replaced all the odds
and ends when manula prescribed. Runs like new.
