I feel bad - I'm driving my fit too much!

Do any other Fit owners ever feel like they put too many miles on their car? Especially when new (or new-to-me)

I purchased my new (to me) 2013 Fit Sport 5MT in Silvahhh on March 28, in Vero Beach, FL with 14,152 miles on it.
I drove it home to Jacksonville, about 250 miles.
Over the course of the next week, I ticked it up to 15,000... even though my work commute is 15 miles daily or less.
I took a trip to Tampa this weekend, and now I'm at 15,600.

The previous owners put 14,000 miles on the car in 1 year 8 months, and I put 1,500 on it in 10 days!
I love to drive it though! So much better than my old 97 Corolla

I felt that way when I first got my yazz. Now, almost 8 years and 65k miles later, it's no big deal :P

Ah, it's a machine, not a display in a museum. It's meant to be used. The plus side of overusing the Fit is that it's fun and costs less to drive than most other cars.

I bought mine in November 2010 with 0 miles.

Today I will pass 120k miles on my way home from work

I bought it to drive it. I don't really care how many miles I put on it.

I bought a '15 Fit and put 1800 miles on it in the first 4 weeks even though my commute to work is only 6 miles each way.

Your use sounds about right to me.

I drive 40,000KM in a year. And that is why she is dying in the garage as we speak.
