But it's ok, because i'm moving 3 miles away from it soon.

Glad you're still liking your car. It's a nice change of pace from everyone crying about fuel pumps and road noise in a sports car.

I'm actually putting on about the same number of miles on my car ... but somehow it dossnt matter to me much since I am having a blast driving it. I guess to me it is worth it to just enjoy the car for what it was meant for. Although keeping it clean is kind of a pain, 2 washes per week

I have a 55 mile commute each way through downtown Atlanta. So my commutes are about 2 hours on a good day and 3 on a bad, each way in bumper to bumper. So I'm excited to have a ten minute commute! It'll basically give me back 5 hours a day back to my life. My clutch will probably live longer too not in constant gridlock.

wow 55 miles each way, that's crazy!

I'm the opposite of this. I've had my 2013 FR-S since the first week of December 2012 and I'm about to hit 12k miles on it...

Well I knew that going into the job, so I knew I would be suffering until I found a place close by haha. So I'll be in your shoes soon hopefully. I hate racking up so many miles in such a short time.

I've had the car since November 1st and have done over 16,000 miles, bought it with 14,600 and when I got gas last night it was at 31,360. Cars are meant to be driven.

Good to hear you're still loving your twin bud! I still love mine as well but was very blown away by the newwrx too. On a side note that dealer trade in crap is a Sham they just Tet to get you to uptrade and finance more.

I have a 107 km commute to the office. Although I only do that for 3 or 4 months of the year as most of my time is spent out in the field. And luckily I got a company truck, so I was able to keep a lot of the kilometres off. Although after doing the commute for 3 or 4 weeks and seeing 4000 km on my car at the end, it was a crazy feeing knowing I racked up the mileage so quickly!

I've only had mine for just over a month. I put just about 800 miles on it in that time which will average about 9xxx miles a year at this rate. I think I am happy and content with that. I MIGHT buy a beater for the winter tho too which will cut back probably 3k miles or so. we will see!

I will be hitting the 3 year mark on June 15. Im at just over 36k miles right now. No issues besides taillights and squeaky window, normal mait....im buying the car after the lease so that says a lot about how i feel.

Still love it

Doing the same thing - I initially leased mine to tide me over until we bought a house and could drop a huge chunk of savings on a nicer sports car to keep very long term as a toy - in just 3 months I have already decided to keep it and crossed the 370z I was planning on buying off the list and crated a new savings account at my bank named "racecar" just waiting for the warranty to expire.

is my 3 year anniversary. Romance is still full blown. Will be buying out at lease end and to satiate my wife's need for more power will have this as my daily and will be buying either the CLA AMG45 or the supercharged Jaguar XE for my wife ( weekdays ) and weekend family car.

General question, how is it on gas?
