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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
