89,3xx miles. The car has not moved since last Saturday, stuff like that keeps the mileage down. :lol:

Meanwhile the Sonic which is 10 years, 3 months and some change newer is at 13,9xx miles.

Turned 299,999 kms in November (stuck there now, apparently vibe (&matrix) odometers don't turn over to 300,000), so I close as I can caluculate - I'm at around 302,000kms (187,600 miles). Waiting to hear from GM if they are doing anything to rectify this. It's a hassle, I plan to put at least another 100,00kms on it! The care has been stellar up till about 250,000 when airbag light (recalls?), engine light (cat converter?), and wheel bearings all have had to be addressed.

63 oil changes at 5000k + the 300 000k od cut off.
5000 times 63 = 315 000 + 300 000 = 615 000k
So I got 615 000 and she still runs like a dream.
I can still down shift and red line with no issues and I really drive this car.

Me too! About to do another oil change. Feel a bit stressed about it since financially not doing too well, but at least I get to do some work.

142,000 miles.

2005 base 5 speed.

Only had to replace a right wheel bearing and tie rods on the right side due to sliding into a curb when someone pulled out in front of me in a parking lot.

Rest has been normal maintenance that I do myself.
Valvoline 5w-30 non synthetic and a purolator filter every 6K, nkg iridium plugs at 100K, air filter every 20,000 and cabin filter every 50k. Brake pads every 50K or so and rotors were swapped out at 100K. Michelin hydroedge at 50K and they last me until 135K when I put michelin defenders on. Would have went longer but sidewalls dryrotted.

Hey guys....I just hit 200,000 Kms (~125,000 miles) on my '03 base. Still going strong too! It makes a little more noise than usual these days, a few knicks/dents in it, the drivers seat has lost some of its stiffness, and a few dash/radio lights are kaput. But that's really it. Looking forward to the next 100K Kms!

In about 27 months I've doubled the mileage on the 2010 GT from the 36,000 when I bought it to a bit over 72,000 miles. Still trouble free! :D

WOW :o I thought mine was low at just over 17k miles! Hopefully you're not on the original oil. I got reprimanded by a few members here for going 2-1/2 years between oil changes at my last oil change :roll: At your rate you'll never need to buy another car again!

106,000 miles on my 09 1.8 5 spd.

Just took it to the dealer to get the oil changed and they could not find a single thing wrong with it. Original battery and still 80% left on the original brake pads. Even the maintenance stuff is still fine. Also does not use a single drop of oil, although I have NOT changed over to synthetic.

Just passed 206,000 miles on my 09 GT. Still running great! Just had it inspected (state vehicle inspection laws) and it got a new fog light and new spark plugs. There's apparently a tiny leak in one of the oil gaskets that I will have fixed in a few months when I can pay off current repair bills! I will also have the coolant flushed. Hoping to keep on keeping on with this puppy indefinitely! Averaging about 28 MPGs with 80% highway/20% city. :D

Just turned 75K. My Vibe has 33K when I bought it used. So far I've just replaced the normal stuff.....new tires around 50K and new front & back brakes last month and nothing else other than oil changes every 3000-4000 miles. Great little dependable car. :D

My 2003 Vibe (Base, auto) has 265,800 miles on it. I just replaced the front and rear struts, front bearings and boots. I replaced them at 140k, too.

Other than that, my maintenance items have been minimal: 4 sets of tires. 1 battery. About 5 headlamp replacements (I stopped counting). 1 foglamp replaced (a rock hit it on the freeway). Catalytic converter and brakes at 220k.

Yes. It's true. I had one set of brakes for 220k. I don't stop very much, apparently.

Repairs? Almost none. The HVAC motor burned out at around 200k, and I had to have the air conditioning condenser drain unclogged at around 40k which was covered under the warranty. That's it.

Naturally, I maintain it. I get the oil changed, and get it checked over at least twice a year to make sure nothing is going wrong. If anything mechanical shows wear, I replace it immediately.
