IIRC @XtremeRevolution has had discussions with a Gen I owner that has over 750,000 miles on it. I have no idea if it is original drivetrain though.
We used to be able to give mileage badges, but the new software is not as friendly. We are trying to figure out how when more pressing issues are not there.
High Mileage Badges
We have a new series of badges for those members who spend waaay too much time in their driver's seat. These badges start at 100,000 miles and then increment every 50,000 miles to 500,000 miles. Above 500,000 miles we'll increment every 100,000 miles. The current badges are: Badge: 100,000...

That's wild, I didn't know that 150k was an expected service life for some of these. Is that reference out there somewhere, showing different mileage targets for different models?
Mine is a 2012 eco and I was told when I bought it that no major maintenance is prescribed until 200k, let alone death of the car.
I do get concerned sometimes, since it does seem to run a little hot occasionally.
I bought it in Aug of 2011 and now it has 168k on it. The only big trips to the service shop have been 2 or 3 coolant leak repairs, which are annoying, but I'm pleased there haven't been more issues.
Did have to replace the alternator once, but I figure that's normal for a car that's almost a dozen years old. Water pump was replaced during those coolant fixes too, and that part was covered by the original warranty.
What does surprise me a lot, was that the brakes still haven't needed anything in all these years! I do a lot of freeway driving, so that probably helps.
Oil is always synthetic and always replaced around 4,000 miles. The Goodyear Assurance Tires always last about 80,000 miles, now on the third set.
Still getting good mileage on the hwy, advertised at 42 mpg when I bought it for 21 grand. Original trip odometer shows an average hwy/city of 34.5 mpg over the entire 168k miles, and 36 mpg over the last 25k miles on the 2nd trip odo. A full tank can go nearly 600 miles.
