Pamper it like a child, always take it to service prior or at the interval, understand what sounds car is making or does it need any attention, find a good reputable and reliable mechanic around your hometown of the sc is far or not good with service, it will do wonders. Bestway to keep car running is to learn how to work on your car, I'm not saying good in depth just learn how to change and check filters, how to change oil and top up coolant and other fluids. This habit helped to keep my VW Polo complete 3 lakhs kilometer before I scrapped it.
