Holy Moly.......I thought my trip was long, but mama! Thats some serious driving.
My trip was over 4600 miles/yeah forty six hundred, all by my lonesome. Drove from Portland, Oregon to International Falls, Mn to see all my siblings and family. Never burned a drop of oil....car has only 57k on it......no issues with heat although it reached 106 degrees coming through eastern WA.....It was very comfortable and I'm 6' 2" at 215 lbs. MPGs were awesome....ranged from 36-43 and my speed range was usually 70-75mph. Great cars, just one thing: Cruise control is a beautiful thing. I don't have it, but would have loved it at times. Can you say LEG CRAMP!......but like anything, just adjust to it and you're fine.
And I was inspired by the guy that has over 500,000 miles on his Yaris.....dang thats some serious stuff. Most of his maintenance was at or around 400k......nuff said.

Go YARIS!
