What was the last car to have a 5 digit odometer? In the US and abroad. I just saw a 94 Escort that has one and was curious. What other cars were tossed out the door with little expectation of it rolling over more than once?

My '84 944 has a 5-digit odometer, they switched to 6-digits in 1985 1/2 for the interior refresh.

This is a Mercedes, that's all I know about the subject.

1996 Fiestas still had them.

It's funny that you mention the Escort. The last I saw one of thos was on the '97???? or so Euro-Escort my buddy had. It was the last gen with the face-lift before the Focus.
He hit a curb while having to avoid a crash (shady story, I never quite believed), limped it home, and it sat there for a few months. He finally bought a Panda in a cash-for-clunkers deal. All we had to do was to get it to the dealer. It took us two days to get it moving (somewhat) under its own steam again. Letting cars sit can be worse than driving and abusing them.

Subaru BRZ doesn't seem to have space on the digital odometer for a sixth digit. I shined a light on the odo and it only seems to have 5 digits

IIRC
All GM cars had 6-digit odometers by 1991. The 1990 Chevy Cavalier, Celebrity and Caprice were the last 5-digit cars.
All Chrysler cars had 6-digit odometers by 1991. The 1990 Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon were the last 5-digit cars.
All Ford cars had 6-digit odometers by 1995. The 1994 Ford Escort, Tempo, Explorer, Ranger and Mercury Topaz and Tracer were the last 5-digit cars.

I believe the Volkswagen Sedán (aka Beetle) still had one through the end of production in 2003 for the 2004 MY.

May have been the Ranger. My Ranger has a 5 digit odo, but My friend's 97 ranger has a 5 digit too. That body style ran for so long, It could be that last car (truck) to have a 5 digit ODO.
