Throw out bearing blew and took out the clutch but that was my own fault for not getting it fixed when it first started making noises. Other than that just tires and wiper blades. Still one the original brakes.

16km round trip. I'm thankful I don't need to get on a freeway for my commute, but I do wish I got to drive my 86 over 60kph more often.

55 miles round trip. I have driven the same stretch of road approx. 4500 times. I know it like the back of my hand. (because I just stare at the back of my hand all the time! LOL)

64 km round trip every day for work.
Between work, errands, and the occasional spirited drive for fun I'm usually putting between 400-500km / week on the car. I usually do a few 1000 km round-trip drives during spring/summer every year. 22 months of ownership and 41,000km driven so far. |

They are all the same. They just have to buy a new set of tools.

I drove 10,000 miles in 5 months in my BRZ, about 60 miles one way. Half was on country roads, half was freeway. Lots of middle of the night driving with zero traffic. BRZ was perfect for commuting. I was able to actually hit a tad over 40 mpg one tank, and was always above 35 even when it was freezing. I have no idea what people have in their car to complain about passing power. Even in 6th I had enough power to pass anything I wanted to, whether I was going 55 or 80.
Of course now I walk 600 meters to work every day. Quote:

~7 miles each way. My office recently moved locations, and while the distance stayed virtually identical, I'm now 100% on secondary roads now, rather than a divided state highway with traffic lights. Potholes and assholes are still everywhere.

60 miles one way.
I'm glad I'm in a position where the BRZ is not my only car. It's not bad to drive on the highway in general, but it wouldn't be my first choice to do this particular commute in. Lots of trucks, lots of bad road.... people in this area seem to be blind to the bright blue car with HIDs and I feel like I almost get hit every single time I drive the thing. |
