My gas gauge on my Scion says F for full, and "R" for empty?

I doubt most Scions will last 250k miles let alone 100k miles because majority are owned by kids and as we all know most will just beat on them.

Best selling car in America.

I'm sure Toyota must have done something right.

Just as importantly, others must have done something wrong.

if having a car that will run for 250K miles with basic maintenance is a bad thing I guess they do suck :p

Who wants a car that long anyway? That's why I rely on good ol' Ford tough vehicles!! Will work great for you for the first 80k till you need another one, new color anyone? That is if your gas tank doesn't explode, wheels fall off, tires shred, gets recalled or any of the fun stuff they pack in each one. If you get a boring one with no suprises you can go 70k at least before a new engine and tranny.

Hey! my Escort has gone about 160k(65k from me) without any major issues. The biggest problem I had was my clutch died. I knew it needed to be replaced but was putting it off and ended up stuck.

My Toyota just broke 100k miles. Its still running perfectly.
so? any car will run 100k miles.

My kid-owned 89 Celica (which got beat on by mutiple generations of college students, myself included) was at 240,000 when I sold it. In running condition.
