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

 

Sold this last February with 175,000 on the clock and it was still going strong

 

52.000!!!!!! Only just run in that

 

1) Euan Brown__________'99 UK Turbo__________52,000
2) Hanley________white classic_______________175,000

 

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

 

Doesn't matter, we'll let you off!! I'm cheating too, mine sold last year and I'm a traitor....went to M3 and now to the.....ahem.......Evo brigade!!!

At least you're still part of the Subaru clan!

 

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..?

 

kriss55

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

 

jtabraham --------MY00 UK Turbo --------- 84000
Mrs jtabraham ---------MY00 Forester Turbo ----------136,000
No probs with either.
Mine has been modded as well for the last 35,000 miles.

 

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.

 

Andy MY99 modded to 300+ 110,000 and climbing at 100 a day

 

wow thats some serious juice doing 100 a day!!

mine is on 70k

 

100 a day, serious wallet bashing
