How many of you drive a lot ridiculous amounts?
 
I've had my BRZ for almost a year and I'm already at 19k miles. It's my daily driver and my only. I commute a lot on the weekends and I feel like I drive too much for sure. Anyone else on here drive a lot just curious? I don't plan on selling it after anyways.

I drive 600-900 miles a week, a good 2/3's of that locked down from my MF commute. Lots of seat time but got dang, I wish I could reduce those miles. Moving def heightened priority, can't wait til the lease is up

Between June 2013 and July 2014 I put 25k+ on my car... and it's my second car.

Just finishing up the first year this weekend. 19k and change. Standard for me.

Jesse36m3 01-20-2015 07:52 AM

Used to drive this thing 500mi/wk just for work. That was ridiculous though. I've since switched jobs and carpool to work in a van with some other guys.. I do about 50mi/wk just for work now, and the rest is from my own leisure.

18 months and already 50,000kms on mine. I do 125kms daily for work. Average around 700kms weekly. 97% all highway driving so it's super easy on the car.

Pkush 01-20-2015 09:16 AM

January 23rd will be 4 months. I have 8300 right now

Dadhawk 01-20-2015 09:21 AM

As of 1/16/2015 I have owned my car 980 days and averaged 56 miles a day on it, this includes very minimal miles on weekends as it is primarily my commuter car.

Just this weekend (really about 24 hours) I put about 900 miles on it during a road trip.

gravitylover 01-20-2015 12:38 PM

I average ~32,000 per year. 110 mile round trip commute 5 days a week (with an easy 76 highway miles) and weekend use. Just the commute is at least 15 hours of seat time every week. I change the oil about every 10-11 weeks, get at least one set of tires every calendar year and do complete fluid changes every year.

Scenic Driver 01-21-2015 05:28 PM

My usage is about the same as gravitylover, plus I put about 5-7k miles/year on my other car.

mkivalex 01-21-2015 05:34 PM

In the last year (almost exactly a year since ive got the car and i've put on 22,000KM's (13K miles) This includes a road trip that was about 1200 miles round trip.

Now that I live only minutes from work I expect this year to only put on about 15,000 km tops.

HATED1 01-21-2015 05:34 PM

I have had my car since August of 2012, currently at 52,000 miles. I love driving this car and never gets boring. Daily driven and a keeper.

Tcoat 01-21-2015 07:59 PM

Juuuuust under 4000 miles a month. A minimum of 14 hours a week in my car.
Took the car in to get my first oil change at about 55 days for buying and the Service Advisor thought I was nuts until he saw the mileage.
Suck at trade in time though.

chas3wba0 01-21-2015 08:15 PM

6 months and I'm at 18k

80-mile commute round-trip during the week, canyon runs almost every weekend, NBD ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

finch1750 01-21-2015 08:25 PM

I put 35k miles on it in the first 7 months driving the car. Since then my commute went from 150miles/day to 15 blocks. I still drive a lot though and have put on 62,000 miles total since May 31, 2012. I just got a 2nd car though so hope to distribute this a bit better now.

OkieSnuffBox 01-21-2015 10:27 PM

Yikes, don't drive that much at all 2400 miles after 3 months as my DD.

And the last few weeks have involved coming home 4 days a week at lunch to let our new puppy out.

holy crap. if you're in the car so much, where do you find the time to post on these forums all day? :D

Alltezza 01-22-2015 01:34 AM

I've had my BRZ since I think March brand new, I now have 14,352 on it :(

I wish work wasn't so damn far, and I wish semi's and fckin trucks would quit throwing rocks at my car on the high way.

I haven't had my car for a year yet, and I am at 35k+.

Kaotic Lazagna 01-28-2015 04:18 PM

Had my FR-S for about nine months, and put on a little over 18k miles.

Jvalich 01-28-2015 04:40 PM

Feb 2 will be 2 yrs and I'm breaking 56K

mmmcambelsoup 01-28-2015 04:49 PM

Purchased Feb 2013 brand new and now has 29k miles.. you all make me feel terrible.

CatDaddysBBQ 01-28-2015 05:02 PM

Not a SUPER amount, but more than average. about 17-18k a mile. Rolled 30k in 18mo.

No issues whatsoever, for what it's worth.
