It was fun, but I have no regrets.
Congrats! I've loved our first STi for over 12 years and it's still going strong. The wife loved it so much she's on her second STi.
Check out our driveway with her's, mine and ours.

Nice! I have a fairly short commute to work too (about 12 miles), but I feel like I've been putting more miles on her than I should lol can't help it!

What are you at now? I'm at about 10.3k after about 20 months now. At first I was feeling like I needed to drive more just to get a decent amount of miles on her and would just go for a drive for no other reason than to warm up the oil and try to boil off any water in it, but lately I've been taking more trips to see some family (~220 mile round trip) so I've been piling up miles faster than I'd like.

I'm at 34,400 which is pretty low for a 2015. But I've been putting more and more recently which I don't really mind. Bought it to drive and enjoy it, which I do...plenty. Will never complain about having to drive it. How are long trips like that by the way? Plan on going out of town for a concert which will be around 400 miles round trip.

I feel like we've had our cars about the same amount of time.

I'm at 19k and change, should reach 20k next week, I think. That's with roughly 20 months of ownership as well.

Weekly commute is probably 10 or so miles roundtrip per day, plus errands and going out to hang with friends at night. I go on drives either most weekends or two-ish weekends a month, and probably drive about 50-100 miles on them; depends on if I drive the additional distance to family after or not. So miles are definitely racking up.

To be fair though, originally when I got the car I was still commuting to a different city via train, so I wasn't racking up as many miles as I am now.
