How many miles a year do you drive?

Post by robdog »

I have 8500 miles on my Vibe, I got it in mid October. Just wondering how many miles everyone is putting on their Vibes. Not a single problem yet except the squeaking in the dash

I only have 275 (still on first tank of gas), as I just picked it on on 3/8. But, I do drive about 25k miles/year.

I have pretty close to 19000 on my Vibe, I got it last May. I have a rattle in my dash! That is the only problem I've had.

I got my vibe Around April 2002. Right now (March 2003) I have alittle less than 9000 miles on it. The Vibe is mostly used as a second car.My primary car is a Nissan Xterra. I have had that for over 2 yrs and it has about 36000 miles on it. (dang, I didn't realize how much I drive it)

We got ours August 6th and its got about 8200km on it. I'm guessing we probably won't put more than 15000km per year on it. Our 3 year old Cavalier only had 42000km when we turn it in.

I put 10,000 miles per year. But if I drive to Flordia add another 2,500 miles. Got my Vibe on Sept 6th and have 4,800 so far -----and I might add that I have found NOTHING wrong to take it back to the dealer. My vibe is the best car I've ever owned. James

Lets see, I drive 50 miles total to work a day. Thats 250 a week. If I had to guess, I'd say 13,000 miles a year. Depends how many road trips I take.

I have had my Vibe one month tomorrow and have put 6,500 km (around 4000 miles) on it so far. At that pace, I will be through the warranty in no time. So far not a bit of trouble and We have had some very challenging weather-Extreme cold (-50 wind chill) Ice storm, blizzards, mud, you name it, and the Vibe just keeps on going!!

I've had my Frosty base 5 speed 3 months and have just under 12,000 km (~7,500 mi), so... I guess ~50,000km/30,000mi/yr. Wow! Sayonara warranty!BTW, maybe this post should have a poll attached with a few miles per year categories? (or does it and I missed it?)

I've had my Vibe a little over 8 months and I've put on 4,900 mile so far. So that's an average of about 7,000 miles/year. Which is actually high for me at least compared to the last few years in my Sunbird which have been closer to 6,000 miles/year.

7 months I've had my Vibe. It had 750 km on it at purchase time (brought here from another dealer halfway to Toronto) and I now have about 7500 km's (would be a lot more if I would let my kid drive it!)

it reminds me of the vibe, a little high strung! the seat on the vibe is DEFINATELY softer very precise bike, turns and stops good, looks nasty!! but i feel weird, since most everyone rides h-d's or clone h-d's...i think my next will be bmw tourer or along that style...the crotch rocket style is a little uncomfortable for trips
