I have a 2000 VW Beetle Turbo with 140,000 miles on it and I've done some significant (and very odd) repairs, however since I love the car i don't mind paying for it. The engine is superb and powerful, and is more fuel efficient at 90mph than at 65 mph. And fun to drive.
I had an 86 toyota 4x4 truck whose engine gave out at 180,000 because a friend of mine drove it with a radiator leak. Engine was replaced but never the same.
I had a 1998 Camry LE that I sold at 177,000 for $500 bucks to a friend. Its only problem was a persistent oil leak and some minor electrical issues.
I had a 1990 Camry that died at 202,000 because of a radiator leak and subsequent engine block problem.
All of my Toyotas were literally driven into the ground. I've always had very long commutes, and typically will put more than 14,000 miles per year (often more) on each car. Once the car reaches 130K, I usually shop for a new one and put the old one on backup mode so it will last longer. The late 1980s-early1990s Toyotas seem to have had lots of problems with the plastic radiators, leaking and subsequent engine damage and failure.
I expect the Prius will last much longer than the other toyotas, due to new technology such as sealed cooling systems, better engineering and consistently longer engine life. But this is true of most 21st century makes. I'm cutting down my commute distances also, and I use my Beetle a few times a month to allow the Prius to "rest."
