Wow...this sure is a lonely forum. Anyway, I'm wondering about how the ever-increasing mileage on my 2001 RS 2.5 stacks up with that of other people driving the same model from that year.

Cars were meant to be driven, right?! And my hubby & I will probably be driving this one until it dies, which brings up my poll question:

If you have a stock engine, no turbo or other mods, 2001 RS 2.5 ONLY, what is your mileage? (And, please, God, let it be higher than mine!)

Now, don't everyone jump in at once...:lol:

I'll start the ball rolling: my 2001 RS 2.5 passed the 150k mark earlier this month (July 2007).

I have a '98 RS with 143k miles and still going strong. I've heard of these things lasting well into the 300k range with proper maintenance. 150K on an '01, you really drive that thing.

I have a 99 RS with about 194K with no issues.

Before you ask no I didnt forget a 1 infront of my milage. I have a 01 RS with 45k miles. I bought it last year with 32K on it :). Tis just a baby

My daily 01 RS driver has had everything except a swap... and still running strong at 110k miles... blew 2nd, 3rd & 4th gears at 80k... but that's due to daily driving, track days, canyons, auto cross, commuting to work, parking lots and bad porters at either dealership, or valets.... expensive rebuild on the gearbox.. and still runs like a champ. Although the T/O bearing is starting to fail....

since two non 01 RS people added thier mileage ill add mine

MY00 RS with just under 43k...prolly hit the 43k mark tomorrow

Bump-a-roonies...:D There have to be more '01 Impreza RS 2.5's out there. C'mon, don't be shy!

my daily driven 01 RS has 71,xxx on it... I am startin to get nervous as the miles go up..Im lookin to get an STi in probably 6 months.. Don't want the cars value to go too far down.. Hopefully what I have done to it gets me what ill be askin...

My 2000 RS Sedan has 78k on it...

My '01 has 156K on it ... still runs great! :)

My friend's 98 red RS has a lil over 200K on it. :eek:
however one of the valves is messed up and needs a new motor now.

My 01 RS has about 84k on her, runs perfect.

I'm fast approaching the big 160K. Just hit 159 and should be well into the 160's by January. I'm almost afraid to say it, but she's still running okay. :alien: (<--I like this one but am never sure what it's supposed to mean.)

Susie

I know its not what you were asking but Ive got a 99 Impreza 2.2L 4dr with 102K on her and shes running great.. Hope she lasts alot longer till I can get another 99-01 or my 08 Legacy GT!

123k update.... Starting to drink a little coolant... Think its the lower radiator hose starting to seep... as its 'moist'... near the radiator.

Couldn't hurt to do a flush while I'm changing it...

The good news: Just passed the 160K mark yesterday. Bad news: The clutch is on its way out! :( It's been slipping occasionally for several months but has recently gotten much worse. I guess maybe 160K isn't bad for the original clutch? :confused:

I'll look in other forums but...does anyone has a suggestion for an after-market clutch? We don't need high performance, just decent, affordable & durable. Or should I just get a new OEM clutch?

:sadbanana:

Well, I just posted in the CEL forum about the 7 (seven!--maybe 1 for each year of age?) codes Lucinda is throwing. This happened precisely at 166166k. Coincidence or did all those 6's get me in trouble?? :rolleyes:

We finally got a new clutch about 3 weeks ago. She was driving like a dream until today when she started lurching and threatening to stall. Codes say 3 cylinders misfiring. I'm theorizing we also need a new Cat. Anyone else had the you-know-what hit the fan at around 166000?

:(

I win.

Runs just fine, though we had it taken in because it was leaking oil around the head gasket. All better now.

I just ran across this.

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/car/582011460.html

01 with 18.5k they want $16k though.

I want but find 18.5k miles hard to believe and i would only offer like 12k.

01 RS 129k miles....

daily driven and LOVED :D

D'oh.... Headgaskets are a leakin'... I've started to work on building a new N/A motor :devil: And hopefully will have that complete before this one gives up...

'98 RS
145K miles on it
Still runs perfectly and no leaks! Previous owner did have the headgaskets replaced I believe though due to leak.

01 rs daily driven, 145,000 on the body and about 50,000 on the 04 ej20 engine in it. no problems other than some rust setting in on my hood:rolleyes:

My old 98RS that I sold in oct last year had 115k on it when I sold it.

My new 98RS that I pick up this week has 150k on it! :eek:
But the Ver4 swap thats in it doesnt have near that many. :banana:
