I had over 200,000 miles on a 1971 Subaru before I sold it and I never did have to add oil or do any drive train repairs. I have also had some high mileage Amercan iron which was pretty trouble free. My Toyota Matrix is also very reliable and is functioning just fine but, in many ways, it is not all that great. Throttle response is sluggish, traction control is maddening, many functions which are controlled by a computer would be better handled with a simple switch. Still, I can live with it. GD
