closing in on 1,000,000 km - Toyota Yaris Forums

canuckecho · 09-19-2012, 10:17 PM

hey everyone, my 2002 Echo is closing in on a milestone...one million km
i
Currently the odo shows 962,143km and in approx 2 and a half months it will be a million. The engine is original and has never been opened but the trans and clutch were replaced at 450,000km. I wonder if this is the highest km Echo or Yaris out there? you can see my videos on youtube by searching 950,000km Echo. I brought it into my Toyota dealer to show them and they were blown away but they werent interested in using it as promo or advertising...i was hoping for an even trade on a new Yaris once i hit a million

That is freaking awesome ! I love people who take care of their ride !

With that km in 10 years, I will not wait a long time to see it hit 1 million ;)

CoryM · 09-19-2012, 10:43 PM

Nice. Good job (to you and Toyota engineers)!
Maybe send Toyota Canada an email or letter direct? I suppose that's the best advertising possible; Million KM cars are so common they don't brag about them anymore ;)

Cheers.

canuckecho,
Great job! I love the Echo. Wish they still made that body style. I prefer it over the Yaris.

bronsin · 09-20-2012, 09:51 AM

The Yaris was a regression from the ECHO in that it is heavier.

The engine should be smaller and the whole car lighter than the ECHO if we were making progress...

1,000,000 km awesome!

caineroad · 09-20-2012, 12:19 PM

How much do you drive per day? delivery driver?

bronsin · 09-20-2012, 12:32 PM

1,000,000 km / 10 years = 60,000 miles per year or 5000 miles a month or ~1250 miles a week or ~160 miles a day (on average)

canuckecho · 09-20-2012, 03:49 PM

actually I've only had it since nov 2007...it had 108,000km when I got it
i drive 15,000 km a month doing deliveries,
22 oil changes a year and I never used sythetic

CoryM · 09-20-2012, 09:50 PM

Out of curiosity, what's the car look like with all those KM on it? Battle scarred? Crashes? Permanently dyed front end from bug guts (I've driven in Ontario ;) )?
Cheers.

Don't need synthetic if you change it every 2 weeks, even with that amount of miles.

Actually ... I cannot imagine driving 15,000 km a month. I think I would be sick of driving after even a fraction of that.

mazilla · 09-21-2012, 02:20 AM

Nice.

Strider · 09-21-2012, 10:16 AM

My son just bought a 2002 Echo with 130,000km on it. Great testament for how long the car can last him if he takes care of it. Cool Stuff

canuckecho · 09-21-2012, 03:22 PM
