      Well over half a million between me and the wife since 1993. The wife got stranded once when it was well below zero. Car just died. She called me and I went and pulled her off the road. I told her to just try to start it to see what was going on and it started so I followed her home in my car. Never happened again. I bet we will make a million.

          Well since I was a over the road driver,none of my vehicles got much use.
          Festiva a little over 20,000 miles in 5 years,don't drive it much in the winter If at all.
          My pickup gets most of the use since I work out of it.
          Then in the nice months I ride one of my motorcycles as much as I can!
          Winter times for the minivan.

            mine currently has 168k miles. bought it in oregon and made it all the way back to LA driving straight w/ no radiator fan. did great until i hit LA traffic but i still managed to get through the traffic and home without any damage. the key was to get off the freewa and turn the car off at every light....new fan solved that problem. =)

              my speedeometer broke at 198828 miles.
              i bought the car like that but by the condition of the car, im guessing well over 200000.

                He's asking how many miles you or your family have put on the festiva(s), not how many miles you bought it with!
                Technically, that would be people with a license and on public roads.

                  Let's see...

                  I'd say I've put about 60k on my Festivas in the last 5 years.

                  30k of that was on my first Festy. I drove it everywhere, and it never let me down once, even with a bad front wheel bearing.

                    Bought my current Festiva about 6 years ago and have put on at least 200,000km (125,000 miles). I've lost track since I've changed the cluster out about 4 or 5 times!

                            208,000 on my 93. I'm too cheap to buy anything else while this thing still runs. Hoping it will go another 4 or 5 years, 300k total.

                              when i bought my green festiva it had approx 130k kms on it, i've lost track of whats actually on the car now but i beleive it to be over 300k kms on it meaning i've driven it approx. 170k kms, and i've only owned it for 5 1/2 years, thats a lot of driving :lol:

                              If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?
