Yes. 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.

Because here among friends, it goes without saying that a
Honda will last longer than a Toyota? :-)

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...

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.
