agctr Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Being on the road every day, I do clock up a lot of KM's firstly travelling to work, then to clients and then driving home. On the weekend, I love just getting out and exploring so the KM's certainly rack up. The average KM's done here in Oz by most ppl, are around 20,000 per annum, Im doing roughly 50% more than that at 30,000 per annum. A lot of ppl have said to me due to the KM's I do, I shouldnt buy really nice cars, I say, if Im spending that much time in the car, I want something nice and something that has some shove when needed. Subaru has this for mine..... Currently the MY01 I have has 93K on the clock, had it since new and is still going strong. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'm willing to bet I'll drive more. Things in Houston (and TX is general) are really spread out making for lots of milage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 8-10K/year for me, unless I get a different job or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRXTom Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 8-10k? Crap, I've got 9500km on mine already. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 WRXTOM that is very hardcore. Months ago, I went and had a look at Boxsters and the sales rep almost fell over when I told him how many KM's I would do in a year. I said, if Im going to spend that sort of money per month, I will be driving it, guaranteed! Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboAddikt Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I only put 8-10K miles (13-16K Km) a year on my car. I may even put less with a LGT, I have another car that I love to drive very much also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 30,000 miles.. that's right.. 30,000... I did 61,000 (3,000 of that are autocross and road-track miles) in 2 years on my WRX.. so I dont expect less from the GT. Keefe Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 LOL that is HUGE. Did you have the car serviced by Subaru or with someone else? And putting all the miles on so fast, do you think it affected the car in anyway? Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I did 8-9k miles in the 4 months I had my WRX...and it seems like it will be that way in the LGT. It seems this car keeps beckoning me to drive it! :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
05LegacyGT330Ci Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hopefully no more then 10 thats a lot but with road trips to NJ and back here to Wilmingont I can see that being easily eclipsed.

aldog1330 Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 At the rate I'm going now, 25k a year, but hopefully it will change when I move down closer to work. Right now work is about 75 miles round trip every day, and boy is that a fun 75 miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinchy Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I'll probably do something in the vicinity of 20-25K miles per year. I got my other car, a Toyota Previa, used in 2001 with about 25,000 miles on it. I just had it serviced for 105,000 miles about 2 weeks ago. So that's about 80,000 miles in 3 years, and I'll be doing the same travel now in my Legacy GT. And I figure the same as what was said above. If I'm going to be doing that amount of driving and spending that amount of time in my car, I'm gonna enjoy the ride darnit. None of this annoying road noise, and sluggish performance, and "Lullaby" driving. That's also why I shifted over from automatic to Manual.

gtmy04 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Got my GT in November last year, got 38,000 km on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Well I've got 2300 on in not quite a month and a half. I'd have to guess between 14k and 18k miles per year here as living out of the city a few miles adds up with every trip in and around. It does beckon to be driven though.

gtguy Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Probably about 3-4000, though my first-year totals will be skewed by new car-itis. Generally, I ride to work from March-January, and take the train when I am not riding. So I use the car for pleasure trips, and driving changes of clothing down every other week, which accounts for 100 miles per month. Yes that's only 1200 miles, but then I factor in grocery store trips, visits to the family, etc. It's about 3K per annum, usually. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT Ski Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 I put between 18 and 22k miles on my '96 Outback now. If I get a GT I can see myself taking longer joy rides, I think 20 - 24k will be my average. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjapimp Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Ideally under 20,000kms a year, but if I keep the same rate for the year that i've had in the last 2 months, it'll be 30,000kms. :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam.[/quote] I did all the servicing myself.. and never had a problem with the car.. the stock clutch would have lasted me 80k and the timing belt would be due by then.. everything else is like a maintenance-free car.. out of the 61,000, I went through 5 sets of brake pads and about 4 sets of tires (yea, I drove hard) and that was it.. the rotors were still good, changed my oil every 2000 to 3000 miles, bled the brakes every 4 months.

TurboAddikt Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 [quote name='Drift Monkey'][quote name='TurboAddikt']I only put 8-10K miles (13-16K Km) a year on my car. I may even put less with a LGT, I have another car that I love to drive very much also.[/quote] Which is...?[/quote] I have a all black 91 Integra GS with a T3/TO4E turbo, and all the right equipment (no "junkyard" turbo stuff for me). Some people think I am too old for this car, heck I even get pulled over by cops that are a little shocked such a old guy is driving it (well, I am only a decade older than the usual Integra owner). Anyway, I love it. Sure it's old and wrong wheel drive (big problem considering its turbo), but it is my dream car from my High School days. And, it actually performs very well despite it's age. Anyway, I also want a new car, and ONLY the LGT does it for me. I have modified my Integra to be a certain style, and actually the LGT already has the kind of style I go for, the LGT is a great car right out of the box for the money. No other car can match it IMO !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
