Do you do a lot of miles in your 86/BRZ?

[hmong337]

I use my car as a DD. My workplace is around 125kms round trip. Roughly 80 miles. I'm already feeling sucky because I know after a year of use, the car will see around 40,000kms. 5 years, 200,000kms!

At least my drive into work is an easy 97% highway though. Lighter wear and tear I suppose.

I didn't opt for any extended warranties either. I didn't feel the need to as I am confident the 86 will be a long laster as with all Toyotas and Subarus.

Who else does a lot of mileage?

I did 14,000 miles on the first year, and I have also have a Tacoma that I probably put another 15,000 on it. Both cars are my daily drivers. Good thing I opted for the 15,000 miles/year on the FR-S lease.

Coincidently, I also have a white 91 MR2 Turbo (rare moon-roof version), but I sold it last year and bought the FR-S to replace it.

35,000 km's in my first year. Averaging 7.4L/100km. I'm sure 90% of my driving has been highway though.

Did 27.000km so far, looking at 40.k this first year (december)

I don't mind, I bought it to use it! Lots of trackdays and some hard driving too. Love it!

Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on how you look at it) I only put ~8 miles a day when I take it to work which is usually only sunny days. The rest of the miles go on my Impreza. Owned since late April of this year and only have about 1,600 miles.

I'm jealous of how much some of you get to drive these cars, but my wallet is happy due to it!

Depends on what you consider a lot of miles.

For me, 1000 miles a month seems average. I have had more car for a year now (past the 1 year mark a few days ago) and I only have 11,100 miles on the car.

[strat61caster]

Looking at around 1,500 miles per month right now, so around 18k per year. Currently at 13k miles. (21,000 km)

This will probably be my primary car for the next five years at which point I guess I'll have 90k miles (145,000 km) on it, but who knows.

[Scenic Driver]

120 miles a day commuting. 18,600 miles since the end of Feb.

[Nevermore]

I put more miles on this car than I have any other. But that's only 1200 a month or so. A lot for me, not so much for someone else. My commute is 36 round trip.

[dem00n]

I have about 23K done this year on the FRS, but there were two months were i barely drove at all.

Road trips tend to do that.

[Superhatch]

I've had my car for a year and 4 months and I have 41,XXX miles on it. I had a long commute to work, and drove to customer sites for work as well. No issues at all so far.

Considering I've owned my car exactly 3 months with only weekend driving, I've put 8200 miles on it.

That's approximately 26 days where you could drive if you consider Saturday and Sunday the weekend. ~315 miles per day or ~630 per weekend. Very impressive.

Well, so far I've been to:

CO > LA
LA > Mammoth > LA
LA > SLO > Monterey > LA
LA > Jackson WY > LA

Those 4 trips alone accounts for 5500 miles, and all 4 were done within a 3 day weekend.

(I need to stop driving... the gas budget for all of 2014 is about to be eaten up this year.)

P.S. did you really calculate the days I was driving the car?
