50,000 Miles !!
And appearantly, Maint is Req'd again. That has got to be my 2nd favorite warning after the "Check Engine" light, under the category of Vague and/or useless indicators.

Rep Power: 0 ... and how long have you had your car for?
I only have approximately 6500 miles on mine.
4 months old BTW, but it hasn't been driven for a month after the accident.

Rep Power: 0 50,000 isnt that bad if he has a long commute to work. I have 16000 on mine and ive only had it since June. The funny thing is I live about 1 mile from my office, but the place I work has about 32 locations in metro Milwaukee so I get paid mileage (36.5 cents per mile) to drive to them.

01civicmike, he doesn't have a problem, just requires regular maintenance. I have almost 7k on mine and have had it since july. I am trying for the 1k every month. I only drive 15 miles combined to and from work. Hope i can keep it low. I will probably have to take some road trips to visit graduate schools.

Rep Power: 0 oh I know...... its just an idiot light, tripped by mileage only. I drive 150 miles per day, but I have another car that I drive about 50% to keep the miles off of the 2K1......
One year this month and 21K.....

Rep Power: 0 [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Yeah, i've had the car since Nov. of 2000. 50,000 miles on a Honda is nothing, thats why I got it. By the time a supercharger comes out though, it'll probably blow my engine up.

Rep Power: 0 You need to drive it more dude. Real low mileage is worse than high miles. Oil sludges, fuel gets junk in it, combustion chambers never clear out. Make sure you are following the "severe" schedule in your manual.

Rep Power: 0 << Booooo
I like just hit 38,000km.... >>Did you forget? You're driving a Honda. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]
(Unless I'm forgetting some type of supernatural unknown forced induction you've got under the hood of your ride.)
Don't worry! It's still good! It's still good!
But it's cuz it's a Civic that it has that many km on it...cuz I love my baby....
