Average mileage in a year
« on: 24 February 2008, 01:28 »
So after getting your dream VW are you clocking up more miles driving for the enjoyment or less cause your keeping your baby safe?
I bought my 1st Golf in 1990 and did 50,000 miles in the first year, bought my 1st GTI March last year and I've only done 2700 so far - only take it out for pure driving pleasure, i'm lucky my wife has a Polo so it's used for all the day to day running about keeping my pride and joy away from super market car parks!
 So anyone else doing really high or low miles in a year?

I don't work and have the freedom to come and go where and when I please. A friend asked me to give her a lift to Heathrow and she'd pay my fuel there and back....I said give me your airfare and I'll drive you home to Bavaria. I took my daughter along and we ended up in Italy!

I did 5 miles last week but this week it looks like it'll be about 500. Nearly 45,000 miles in 30 months = 18,000 a year. I enjoy my GTI every single time I sit behind the wheel :smiley:

I'm probably going to put 30k a year on my Ed30.

I can't understand people only doing 3k on a golf?!
If you are doing so few, then why not buy an elise/vx220 or something for fun purposes.

Not reached 8000 yet - in 11 months. Partly due to the missis's car being first on the starting block most of the time :embarassed:

Im trying not to drive it as much as my mum has given me her MkV 140 derv as she is unable to drive for a while, but everytime I open my garage and there both sitting there I just can't take my eyes off the ED30, I end up getting in it even though I promised myself beforehand I would take the diesel. Does anyone else suffer with this?  :embarassed:

12-15k a year for me - it's a daily driver and gets used for everything!
