Who has the most mileage?

I have a 01 Prizm with 95K on it and runs good. My daughter has an '02 Prism with 86K. I usually maintain vehicles very well. How many miles can I expect out of these engines / trannies??

Who has the record out there????

These cars have Toyota engines and trannies. If you treat them well you can get over 200,000 on them, maybe more. Maintenance is the key.

Re: Who has the most mileage?

I have an 01 Prizm with 100k--just hit it actually

Engine runs fine, although I'm having electrical problems (see my post).

It's a great car and still quite peppy--I bought it used but it's been running just fine. Plan on giving it good maintenance and hopefully squeezing as much out of the engine as I can.

Re: Who has the most mileage?

I won't win for the most miles .. but my 1999 Prizm has 115 thousand and runs like a Rolex watch. It has the three speed auto.trans. I really wish I had a four speed auto or a stick shift but when I bought it I hadn't done my homework and assumed it was like a Corolla with overdrive. No problem though .. it's still a sweet car. (I'm not perfect either) I think if you keep 'em clean and change fluids on YOUR schedule not the books or manufacturers, keep 'em outa the ditch .. they should last decades! We try anyway ....

Re: Who has the most mileage?

I bought mine with ~112k miles this year and now I'm close to 140k. I shopped specifically for a prism for over a month - partially because I expect to get 200k out of it. As others have said, maintenance and clean fluids are key to a long life. ('01 Chevy Prism)

I've got a '99 prism and have little over 115k, not leaking or burning oil, runs great. 4spd AT, keep oil changed around 3-5k miles, just put on new tires.
