Default Mileage Who's Put on the most miles.

I have only had my Car (used with 7,700 miles) a 2002 for three months. I am wondering how many miles has anyone put on theirs. I am up to 10,000 and am wondering about reliability over the long hall.

I love my car and have a hard time wiping the smile off my face each time I drive it. I wish I could figure out how to put a poster on it that says, "It's never to late to have a happy childhood" without marring the look of the car.

I don't think you need the poster. I think the smile on your face says it all.

The topic of milage and reliability has come up many, many times in the past. You might want to do a search while you are waiting for others to reply here.

To date I have had absolutely no issues but my MY2002 is only 1 year old and only has 5,800 miles. My biggest gripe is that I don't have as much time as I'd like to enjoy the car.

Between Dec '01 and March '03, I put 38,000 or miles on my S. I would say 1/3 of it was hard core stop and go madness. The other 2/3 kept me very satisfied.

45,000 miles since December 1999...tracking right at 1,000 miles per month.

Probably 25% commuting (I have short one )and 75% fun

May 02 until now....24K, with about 20 or so autocross'and unfortunately driven through last winter (bad here in the NE) while the other car was in the shop. Zippo on problems, but I expect a car to be dead on reliable till at least 40K anyway - even on NYC streets. My other car, which had a harder life (track days, even more autocross', and some hardware store hauling even) was problem free through it's "30's" and that car wasn't even a Honda .

I didn't think I had a chance with this one, but it looks like so far I have the most at 51.5k and counting. I'm sure that there other owners out there with higher total miles, and many people that drive more than I per month. Let's hear about it.

IM... Just wondering...were you directing this query towards bona fide vintage owner mileage, or anyone on s2ki.com

I addressed it to the Vintage people as that's where I belong but it would be interesting to see all replies.
