Congrats on 200k miles, that's crazy amounts of driving lol.

I got my 2018 at 40k kms (25k miles) and plan to get a decade or 300k kms (186k miles) before the car moves on. I drive about 15-25k kms (9k-15k miles) a year so I should be on track :D

That's right but on the other hand, I think he does highway driving most of the time.

I'm think the CVT in my car will not last that long, with all the city traffic and stop and go traffic I'm going through. ?

Make sure you add an update to reflect that mileage in the tuning survey. That mileage is tremendous.

Most people haven't added an update which unfortunately means our tuned mileage stats are incorrect.

Guys he mentioned it's all highway miles. His Engine wear is equivalent to 25K appx city miles. I am pretty sure his car will go beyond moon with just highways miles

Of course, the power train doesn't wear out because miles pass under the wheels but because the engine turns, and also is subject to acceleration and start-stop cycles. So the consolation for city drivers who may lose on the number of miles driven, is that the engine working hours will be much more even with the highway drivers.

Mostly due to the number of engine starts, particularly cold starts.

Compare to taxis which drive almost exclusively in cities. They typically last a long time even though lots of acceleration and braking cycles.
