2006 XR Matrix with 150,000km

[labrat]

Just passed the 150,000 km mark on my 06 matrix. I have had it exactly one year. No repairs yet. I managed to get 145,000 out of the orig. tires. Still runs like a top. Front brakes still at 70%. Am thinking about replacing the plugs. Just thought I would let you other Matrix owners know that these units will look after you if you look after them.

Wow, that's an average of 410 km per day! How do you do that? I presume it's mostly highway miles?

[mistamatrix]

^ lol for busting out the calculator!

[HL2k]

how did you get that many km!

thats nuts man, what did you do, west to east coast and america inbetween?!

Nicely done! I have a friend that put on 100,000 a year, but you've whupped his ass. I'm assuming someone else is footing the bill for your fuel?

I've had my 06 XR for around 5 months now, and I think I've got about 5800 on the clock. I got some catching up to do.

All highway miles. I am on the road 7 days a week transporting medical supplies.

I drive between Salmon Arm, Revelstoke and Vernon (B.C.) every day. Checked my fuel economy today. 43 mpg. That's not bad considering factory air filter, orig. plugs and winter conditions.

...if your company car allowance to you is 43 cents per km, then you would have received $64 500.

I offer a specialized service and charge a specialized price. It's a good living.

wow does that mean you warranty is over or do you have extended warranty? lol. good job for keeping it tip top shape!

oh what speed do you drive at on hwy's? if 140'ish km/h, have you sorta calculated how much mileage you get???

[labrat]

I drive between 95-110 km per hour. In the winter I get av. 40 mpg. and in the summer av. 45-47. I now have 175,000kms on the car and all is well.

[Frank@toronto]

Assuming you are putting 150 000km/year, how long to you plan to keep the car.

...or for that matter, what was the mileage of your last car ?
