long lasting cars (mileage) ?

[SYNERGY]

Uber driver has a Hyundai Sonata, at least 3-5 years old. Had 437k on the odometer.

I was so impressed that I took a pic.

Ride was smooth as well.

Those 2.4 petrol engines are really understressed. They don't make much power, but as a result seem to go on forever

Depends on what you mean by tiny. My 1.5dci Nissan Micra has over 200 000 km on and hasn't had a single issue.

Sounds like a diesel, and not some 1l turbo petrol.

Turbo diesel

Toyota Hilux

Naturally aspirated petrols or diesels. No turbos. Lower revving and more cylinders is generally better. The less strain a motor takes in day to day driving, the longer it lasts.

So how much mileage can these 1.0l turbos do?
I have an Adam with 55k on the clock

 

[zizo911]

Vw polo vivo should run for ever with maintenance

 

[Binary_Bark]

Subaru forester diesel (later models)

Came here to say that ^^
Those things are indestructible (Not literally, figure of speech)

People usually get rid of them before problems start, my limited, personal experience is that issues start after 100k kms. A friend had timing chain issues on his 0.9T renault just before 100k kms.

Some people have better luck with minimal issues but generally small capacity turbo cars were never built to last no matter what some salesman tells you.

Jip, not the best idea to get one of those with medium to high mileage, and if you do go for one go directly to a dealer and ask to see the "check list" for the car

Stay away from small turbo charged engines. Those tiny highly stung engines will never last as long as their naturally aspirated bigger displacement counterparts.

So you're saying I should consider an F20 M135i/M140i over the W176 Mercedes-AMG A45?

I had an Opel Astra model G 1.6L Petrol, it was just over 220 000km when I sold it after 10 years. Not a drop of oil used, only had to change the clutch once (and even then the guy said it could have kept going for quite a bit longer)
My dad had an Opel Record 2.0i with over 500 000 kms on it, it was still going strong when he got rid of it 20 years later.

I know this is crazy but it is true...

A guy I know through the VWCSA has a 2004 Volkswagen 9n Polo TDI Sportline with the PD130 engine on 409k km's on the original clutch and turbo, with a few bits and pieces replaced here and there but nothing too major from what I remember.

 

[DanH]

Been in a few high mileage Ubers lately.

Etios 400k
Etios Auto 450k
Brio 750k

 

[FiestaST]

750k Kilo Brio?? Dafaq

-So far a Mazda of 1998 300 000Km+ had proven to be the most reliable vehicle I ever had, however it never saw a dealer ever. Thats why I keep this as a backup as well.
-New Izuzu I hope to be reliable, so far it looks ok. Two dealers closed on me however since I got it and GM disappeared. Now I have to fish for a dealer again.
-The EU(German) car seemed to be the most unreliable filled with electronic jargon, however spare parts are readily available. It faired way better out of gurantee than within so far, but the imminent demise is probably not far away.

Toyota rolla 16V twincam, never dies.

Actually they do

 

[Pudding McTwinkle]

Cruiser if you got bucks for fuel.
