My regular daily driver, a 2001 Saturn, just turned over 107000 miles a day or two ago. This makes it #1 in MLB and my “cars with the most miles driven” category.
The ’01 actually eclipsed the 106K+ miles of MLB’s ’98 Saturn much earlier, but since I couldn’t remember the ’98′s exact mileage, I decided to wait until the aught-one had exceeded 107K to lay claim to the miles title.
It still looks good and runs all right. Not sending in a monthly check to GMAC makes it look better and better.
As much as I get excited about new cars, and as much as certain Ford1 models turn my head, I can still say, Long may the Saturn live.

I don’t know if it says something about our driving habits or relative cheapness for buying new vehicles, but 107000 miles would make a vehicle the least driven one either myself or my wife had ever owned. I sold a Ford Taurus a few years back that had a measly 145k on it and thought I got rid of it early. My dear wife’s 2001 Honda has approximately 170k on it.
Saturns rule. The ex-wife and I owned two Saturns, a 96 SL2 and a 98 SC2 IIRC, and loved them. I believe my ex-inlaws still have the SL2.
