How Many Miles Can You Drive?

For many years the idea of driving a vehicle for 100,000 miles was a serious accomplishment but today this is nearly a minimum number of miles you can expect. With more automakers adding longer powertrain warranties to their models than ever before there are many vehicles that can now last for as many as twice this number of miles. When you think about the mark of 200,000 miles and what it can represent for you, you want to consider vehicles that have been built to be tougher and stronger than most of the rest in order to give you the longevity you’re looking for.
