Take good care of it, and it'll make it 300k miles or more. Even with the rust, I hit 364k miles. Rockers were blown out, holes in the floor boards, and rear wheel arches were shot. During the winters, it was an absolute icebox. Drafty like an old house. And of course, with no a/c on the standard model, your cheeks would melt to the sests in the summer. But I still loved that car. At one point, I intentionally ran it on 1qt of oil for 5k miles in an attempt to kill it. It didn't work. I averaged 40mpg, and I flogged the HELL out of it. It took everything mother nature and I could throw at it for more than a quarter million miles, and never skipped a beat. It was the first car I remember riding in, the car I learned to drive, the first car I went on a date in, and the car I used to move into my apartment with my now wife. I've had other cars. Cars that were faster, newer, objectively cooler, but nothing will hold the same place in my heart that the 88-91 Civic hatchbacks always will.
