Regular oil change and thorough maintenance can go a long way towards extending the lifespan of a car powertrain, and this 1991 Honda CR-X Si with a million miles under its belt is as good an example as any.
What’s a million miles? It’s 1,609,000 kilometers. If a road existed from the Earth to the Moon, you could travel to the Moon and back twice before your counter would show that kind of mileage (assuming it had that many digits in the first place).
The most impressive thing about the CR-X is that it still holds on to its original engine and five-speed manual gearbox. The engine is rather humble by modern standards, with four cylinders, 1.6 liters of displacement and 106 PS (105 hp / 78 kW) along with 132 Nm (97 lb-ft) of torque.
The Tampa, FL dealership of Honda currently has this coupe on display in its showroom to remind customers that getting rid of a car just because of its high mileage is not always a good idea.
