I'm at 5000 miles in 3 months and I live 2 miles from work.


I told myself I wasn't going to drive it everyday because I still have my Honda Africa Twin motorcycle.
I told myself my wife and I would take her HRV to San Diego from Phoenix to visit family.

Looks like I lied to myself. Twice!

I haven't ridden the bike since I bought the car, I'm going to sell it.

I also have a Honda Monkey I'm going to keep because......well........just because. I couldn't justify buying it and did anyway. I can't justify keeping it and will anyway.

Purchased July 22 and currently nearly 4000 miles. Daily driver. Not snot driven, not tracked. Oil changed at 3K to Mobil 1 0W20 full Synthetic. Check tires every 4K and usually 4 lbs each low.
Love the car.

You need to check your air pressure more frequently than 4K. Should be done on fuel fill-ups or when temp's change more than usual.

I have ~4100 on mine since JUN 2019. Switched to winter wheels/tires but between the both, I've checked them ~10+ times.

Thanks for all the replies. I guess that I am a freak then. I have 76K miles so far on mine. Still runs like a top!

Damn that's awesome!!

Wow! 76K!

That's a lot of enjoyment so far. Mine is not my daily, I've had it almost 2 years and I just hit 3,800 miles. Definitely getting your money's worth, unlike me!

WOW! 3800 miles in 2 years! I am approaching 9 months and just hit 3900 miles. At least since your car is low mileage it will retain the higher resale price.

Bought mine 2019 Memorial day of this year, so end of May. Up to above 17k miles on mine. Told myself at first that I was going to use my 8th gen Si for work since my commute varies depending on what job i'm on.... yeah no. I only drive that around once a week to not let it sit. It's so lame and slow in comparison, plus I'm wary of leaving my FK8 home unattended lol. The Si i'm basically paying insurance on it to hold a parking spot. Lots of great backroads to rocket through by me so I aimlessly drive it a lot as well.
