191,000+ miles, tracked, winters, snow sleet slush, rain, sun - you name it and it does it (well maybe not dune buggying through deep sand at the beach) - do the maintenance on schedule, fix things when they break and change the oil every 5000 miles - and drive the car - it'll give back in aces!!!

Unfortunately a sample size of 1 does little to predict the population...still nice to know some ones car has lasted that long.

Yes it is true only one over 190k but many over 70k and the reputation for reliability and driving cost remain impressive. If you factor in that it is truly a " Super Car" it is almost unbelievable. What would those miles mean for other cars in its class??
