Nope. Gave it to my sister with more than 110k miles on it. She drove it at least another 35-40k miles. All the others had 85k+ when traded in & they were all in fine shape with no known problems at all (except the first one). FWIW, I don't know the statistics about Japanese cars that easily make it over 100k miles. IMO, it's likely a small percentage of them. Do they last longer than American made cars? Probably. But by how much? Does this difference make up for the vast price difference or the overall cost of ownership? I am not so sure. But hey! I'm just stating my own personal experience. As you & everyone else have noted, I'm wrong, wrong, wrong...... and so then is Consumer Reports.
