How many miles/kilometers on your Mirage/Space Star so far? (PLUS! Leaderboard)

[Mark]

Yes....153k miles.....2nd engine.... original battery.
Believe me, first hiccup I get when cranking over, I will replace the battery! I see prices are around $200! now.

I'm going with one of the three different group 35 batteries at Walmart when it's time. Prices range from $69.74 to $139.84 today. Probably do the middle one @ $109.76.

Since my 356 CCA factory battery is still going strong after 7 years in my Mirage, I'm not going overboard on finding or paying for the best battery. I used to like Auto Zone's Duralast batteries, but their prices have gone up more than Walmart in recent years. I don't want to pay extra for the sticker slapped on the side of the battery.

Auto Zone search - "Valucraft, Duralast, and Duralast Gold are AutoZone's private label brands for lead-acid automotive batteries (manufactured primarily by Johnson Controls, but also East Penn, Exide, and other manufacturers)."

Walmart search - "The production of EverStart batteries for Walmart involves a collaboration between Johnson Controls, Clarios, East Penn Manufacturing, and Exide. These reputable companies ensure that customers have access to reliable and high-quality power solutions when shopping at Walmart."

Just curious to see who has covered the most distance so far in their 6th generation Mirage. How many miles/km on yours so far? Also, what Transmission do you have (so we can tell how those CVTs hold up)?

How much do you normally drive in a year?

(I don't drive a lot. Around 5,000 km / 3k mi a year. Mostly because I work from home, and I usually walk/bike in my small city. Which is one reason my 1998 Firefly/Metro has only 31,000 km (~20k mi.) on it. Also because it sat parked in a garage, unused for 7 years before I bought it! )

I am bound to forget to keep this updated. Reply to this thread and/or PM me if you know of any major updates/additions.

And there's a 2017 Mirage in the fleet with 540,000km, stock drivetrain. Replaced the cat on it cause it broke apart. Otherwise just normal wear items.
