[QUOTE="kungfoojesus, post: 499694, member: 552373"] I'm not really biased from my own experience. My old s15 had over 250,000 miles on the engine before the odometer stopped... even though that was a whole ****** and 2 clutches later. Not that it even runs that well and half the body has rusted off. On the other hand, my toyota tercel ran 280,000 miles... body didn't rust off and one major repair was needed before I traded it in at 280,000. It started burning oil when some piston seal/ring thingies went bad at 70,000 miles $1,200 (ouch). One was a truck, one a car... two different worlds really but I was happy with both of them. I still say foreign cars last and domestic = trash 9 times out of 10. However, either will run forever if you treat them right. Which most people don't tend to do. Don't floor it at every stop light and then wonder why your ****** needed massive repairs after 70,000 miles or your valve seats recessed greatly by 100,000. [/QUOTE]
