165,000 miles and counting

will i hit 200,000 who knows

i cant balive my car is only 4 years old and ive driven all these miles already its crazy,

so far im still riding on the origanal clutch and all that and shes still gripping hard and tru still shifts hard and firm and not an ounce of smoke trailing out the rear and im not the best on oil changes, one every 16 or so thousand miles and she still drives like a dream, and looks it too, not a door ding or scratch on her, im a little scared now thoug since i have a feeling that everything will all go out on me at once, yikes !!!!!! lots of motoring ive pute on over 20,000 miles in the past 3 months

and over 110,000 miles loged on the 15 percent pully and the super charger still sings so thats a test for the durability im shure

im going to shoot for the 200 thousand mile mark by mid year prolly june 2007 or maybe september 20 2007 since that will be her birthday and ill have finally paid it off!!!!!!!!

Awesome that is some good news. I hope to get 150,000 + out of mine and I keep seeing more and more minis with 150,000 + miles.

Thanks for the updates and congrats on the mileage mark. I'm hoping for at least another 100K for JoeGreen the MINI at my house. That should take me out to about 2012!

Congratulations on getting your car to that many miles, glad to know that MINIs have the potential of putting that many miles on these cars.
These are the kinds of stories car experts have to read and write when talking about the reliability of these great cars!!!

It's the Tritec engine. Again, Chrysler manufactures another proven winner!
