1/4 million miles on the Toyota Echo I bought new in 2000

Original Clutch, although I did have to repair the rubber on the pedal a few years ago.

Biggest repair was a new AC compressor. Engine consumes a quart of oil every 5000 miles. Which it has since 100k.

The car in question. Dad's business was parking garages. I did this.

what the gently caress

My dad ran a parking garage in midtown Manhattan. I was the only son who could park well enough to work there. We'd park cars by reversing them and placing them less than an inch from other cars, climb out of windows to get out.

So I can do stunts like that rather easy.

Versa's clutch is 138000km old as far as I know.

Good thing you have the manual Versa. Their CVT's apparently are failing on a regular basis under 100k miles.

What's the shortest anyone has had a clutch on a non performance car last?

My partners Mazda 3 has an awful shudder and it's only at 117,000kms but given how she drives the poor thing it isn't exactly a huge surprise.

I've heard stories of people destroying a new clutch in weeks.

I bought the original Honda CRX when it came out in 1984 (the 1500lbs 1200cc 49 state economy model).

It had the lightest clutch I have ever driven. It's been a while, but I believe I had to have a clutch adjustment (not replace) at 70k miles. Kept that car until 1995, when I traded it for a new Nissan 240SX.

Are you some sort of parking God?

Yes, I am. (On this one a crowd of on-lookers and no touching, on the prior one ... very light touches ... no marks or damage ... bad circumstances drove that insanity)
