For me Ive driven 525 miles in 7.5hrs in my corolla only stopping once for a gas fillup and something to eat. Ive made the trip several different times. I start getting uncomfortable anytime I drive over 30 minutes in it so those long trips were never fun for me. Whats the longest youve driven?

4 hours... hate driving on long trips cause you end up speading and the corolla shakes so bad in the wind.. but yes the gas is a plus =)
For me in a Corolla it'd probably be about 500 or so miles. New Orleans to Dallas

In any car it'd be about 800 in one day. That was in my '87 Blazer from Cincinnati to New Orleans. My girlfriend and I went to Cedar Point for a few days then Kings Island (both roller coaster parks) for a day. She was soooo worn out she slept the whole way back.

I usually try to keep trip lengths to about 7 hours of actual driving. Cruise control and rest breaks help.

500+ in over 8 hours total drive time. from cincinnati to Indianapolis from Indianapolis to Avon, IN (a suburb 30 miles or so out of indy), from Avon to Bowling Green, KY
i was in cinci for a dentist appt then had a cardio appt the next day, drove to avon to visit a friend, then drove to BG cuz thats where i went to college
I drove about 500+ trip to North Carolina and about 100+ driving around from place to place visiting all my family!
909miles in 15 hours...only stopping for food/gas/restroom
Dragon you must have really been hurting after 15hrs sitting in a corolla. I was hurting good during my 7hr trips and that was even with using pillows for extra comfort.
1.5 hours from Toronto to Shannonville and 2 hours to Niagara Falls, non-stop. That's under 200km just one way. So count the return trip as well. :D
too long to remember, but there was a stretch where my friend and I drove over 24 hours consecutively stopping only for gas and washroom breaks. not something I would want to do again.
Toronto to Ottawa = ~4.5 hours
Toronto to Detroit = ~4 hours
2hours trip (round trip) to the shooting range. i do that 2 to 3 times a week.
750 Miles. (Round trip)

Got up at 3:00am, hit the road to my destination, stayed 5 hours, turned around, got home at 10:00pm.

At some points during the dark hours, I was doing a steady 90mph. (Yeah, yeah; not smart).

I wouldnt even want to do that in a RV with a comfortable sofa and a bed, let alone in a corolla. You guys must have been sore the day after. Thank God Ive never had to do that.
4-4.5 hours round trip 225 miles from philly to north jersey
1000 miles over 15 hours california to oregon only soping to get gas and food 2drivers
corolla 2001
From halifax Nova scotia to melbourne florida, 3600km in 33 hours
Ive done many 800+ mile days on my 5 cross-country trips,

but the most was about 1000 miles in 12 hours.

I drove 100mph through the utah salt flats and into nevada. Did like a tank and a half of gas at 95+mph and the rest at about 80 or so.
525 miles... NY - Toronto... 90 mph 5th gear at 3400 rpm or someshit...... i know you VE owners are jealous... hahaha

yahh stopped once i covered it in around 7 hours and a few minutes
From halifax Nova scotia to melbourne florida, 3600km in 33 hours
If I drove a trip like that in a corolla with stops included, I'd still probably have to be pulled out of the car regardless. lol

Omair that sounds about right. My auto LE runs 3200rpms at 90mph.
:bump:

I found proof!



Notice the trip meter at 995miles! That was the end of the day and I drove another half hour after that.:thumbsup:
