Well I just wanted to let everyone know that on my way back from the beach yesterday, my 99 Pro hit 80k. After all of those miles I have had no serious problems. Still uses NO OIL. The only complaint I have is that over the miles it has a few interior door panel rattles that I HATE...but thats not much considering what I have seen go wrong on cars in my family with ALOT less miles. I was also wonder if any more 3rd gen owners have over 80,000 miles on there car? If so have you had any major problems?

Thanks,
Barry

 

congratulations berry, and we all wish you many more miles of happy motoring.

 

I just hit 3500 in my 3.5 week old p5.

 

DAM! Foxy you drive alot!

Where the hell you drive so much ??

MY 2000 only has 16k miles on it.

You must take a drive cross country every year or something.

 

DAMN MAN thats alotta miles on car in a short time. hope u enjoyed the ride.

i've got about just over 14 on mine and its about 9 months old.

some of you guys put on a lot of miles.........
my 1991 has 96,000 and you just hit 80,000 in your 1999 ????
that's a lot of driving....

 

my 2000 lx has 67,000 miles

 

Yeah I did drive alot while I was going to college which was about 90 miles one way from my house. ( I drove because the female in my life did not want me to stay where the college is and be away from her). But now I am finished with school and my job is only 5 miles from my house. I do still take a road trip every now and then, so I doubt if I will ever catch up to the mileage a 99 model should have on it. But its here to use, which I have done a very good job of. I just hope it will last alot longer. With marriage in about 2 years, I really need to save all the money I can. Thanks for the replys everyone...

I'm only halfway there on my 99, at 43000 miles. Damn man you drive a lot! My 1.6 uses no oil whatsoever. I hope it stays that way for the next 100,000 miles.

 

The other day the odometer on my 2002 ES showed 11111.

I've got 44,000 miles on the '00 ES I purchased May 23, 2000.

My first Protege, a '92 LX, went 28,000 miles in only 11 months before it was totaled in a hydroplaning accident.

My second Protege, another '92 LX, went 83,000 miles in only 28 months! Driving for Pizza Hut at that! And never a problem!

My wife's Protege5 (the fourth Protege in my life) was purchased January 29 of this year and already has a little over 9K trouble-free miles. So about 164,000 trouble-free miles in Proteges in our family.
