Well, to be fair, I don't think you will find many people with more miles than that regardless of the brand of car. That's not because of the brand, it's simply because few people keep a car that long (or buy a used one with such high milage). Also, with pretty much all German brands (BMW, Mercedes, VW, etc), I am somewhat of the opinion that "back in the day" they were built to be bulletproof. But I don't think that is really the case today. Similiarly, 21 years ago, Japanese brands were not considered that great. But today, I think most will agree that the Toyota's & Subaru's (etc) are very solid cars. The shoe is now on the other foot, so to speak. At least that's how I see it.
Regardless, congrats on making it 1/3rd of the way to the million mile mark. You sound very proud of your car, and I hope you can some day announce that you have driven it another 330,000 miles.
