5 miles Man. No trouble whatsoever. Just regular routine stuff,tires, breaks,water pump and timing belt when it was time. Only problems i have is with the door locks on both sides stopped working,but that's not major.

Theres a guy on youtube with an 06 civic that did over 1 million km. Look up 1million km civic and you should find it. I think he changed the engine and tranny once, only because the tranny went bad at 350k. He said the engine was still running fine but swapped it out at the same time anyway.
it hit 999 999.9 and stopped going up :P

Re: 200,000 Miles
200k is quite an accomplishment. Just the sheer amount of miles. I just hit 140k a week and a half ago. Congrats. Keep the miles rollin'!

Whats so weird about that? Americans use the miles system and Canadians use the metric. It wouldn't make sense for us to have miles...
