What about the LEAST miles? I bought my October '02 reg'd in the spring. With 9,000 miles on the clock.

I'm on 11.5k now, I'm a weekend driver, using the Underground for work - but still, the car probably doesn't know what's hit it since I took ownership!

Reckon I was the first to 'treat' it to a drive in the rain too. Poor thing.

Ok, you win. I thought I had this one sewn up. Got mine new September 2004 and am just about to take it for its 27k/3-year service - with 5900 on the clock. This includes a week down to the South of France.

I've worked from home for the last 2 years, and have a beater as well. Can't really justify 1 car let alone 2.

Is there any point in buying a car like this and not driving it?

I bought a MY02 4 months ago with 95k on it. It now has 99k and I'm about to take it for a trip to France.

I'm relying on the much talked about Honda reliability, I have a '97 civic with 146k on it which hasn't missed a beat in the 6 years that I've had it.

Mind you I don't know how the previous 5 owners of the S have treated it. It's certainly missed a service or two! Here's hoping I won't be looking for a new engine any time soon.
