Default Who has the highest mileage????

Impreza's get a lot of undeserved stick for not being able to "do the miles"!!! So lets see who has the highest mileage on here..

Mine didn't have high miles when I sold it, but I;ll shove it on here to get the ball rolling!!

NAME ----- CAR ----- MILEAGE


1) Euan Brown__________'99 UK Turbo__________52,000

Better add that I now drive an MY04 STI with 12,000 and the not white rocket so guess I'm cheating a bit

Is it a common thing that they cant do high millage then?
I thought being from the land of the risen sun they would be well built
Or am I barking up the wrong tree on this 1..?

If looked after properly they will run forever!!!

I followed the few simple rules that you can find anywhere on here

1) never went over 3.5k revs until oil fully upto temperature
2) changed the oil every 3k miles
3) always gave the time car to cool down before parking and switching off engine

It also depends on what type of driving the car is doing.......town driving with lots of starts and stops is harsher on the car, whereas motorway driving at a constant speed is less harsh.
