How many of you drive a lot ridiculous amounts? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mervingee · 01-19-2015, 10:56 PM

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, 06:52 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, 08:16 AM

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

Dadhawk · 01-20-2015, 08:21 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, 11:38 AM

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, 04:28 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, 04:34 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, 04:34 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, 06:59 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, 07:15 PM

6 months and I'm at 18k

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