the funny thing is that when you roll over 999,999 it goes back to 000,000...
make sure you get toyota to send you their +1,000,000 sticker!

I put 250-280 miles a day on my 2010 Yaris I just bought. I only have like 40,000 miles on it, but I think I'm still under warranty... For now.

I do foreclosure inspections, and I do it in a city an hour away. So I drive ALL day long.7 to 7:30.

Hopefully, my Yaris won't let me down.

Not sure which generation it is though. The wikipedia section about Yaris' is horribly short and not very informative.

Amazing car, decent acceleration, my mpgs are 30+ even though I drive tons of city and 65-70 on highway.

I hope some day, I'll catch up to your mileage.

Long miles on a car aren't necessarily bad for an engine. There's more engine wear from cold start cycles then there is when it's all warmed up and running.

I once read that they took a new engine, started it up, and ran it for the equivalent of 50,000 miles without shutting it down, and when they did an engine teardown and miked the parts, there was no measurable wear.

Good on you, Canuck...

It's an admirable quality to take good care of things and make them last.

I own something similar, but it's not a car. It's the refrigerator my parents bought when I was born. We still use it as our only refrigerator, and it runs perfectly after more than 60 years.

Hopefully you have commercial coverage on you insurance policy before the insurance company sees that!
