Exclamation How many miles do you rack up a year on the Fit?

I was just thinking today about my yearly mileage I accumulate in driving and wondering if any other Fit owners drive just as much. I bought the Fit for long-term endurance and am hoping it'll last me well beyond 200k miles (and it should with proper maintenance).

I have a 135 miles round trip commute M-F; that's just over 35,000 miles a year. My wife and I also take the Fit when visiting family unless we need her Pilot to carry something, so total mileage a month is right around 3200 miles (38.5k). I've only had my Fit for 4 months (just about to hit 12,000 miles!)

How many miles a year/month do you guys drive?

I'll be coming up on my first year at the end of this month with around 12.5k/yr

Mainly daily commuting and a couple longer trips ~6hrs each way. If i stay in this range Ill be happy

I've only had mine for 5 months, and I just turned over 7000 miles. Looks like I'll be around 15,000 per year.

29,876 since Nov 17th 2010 puts me on pace for nearly 45k/yr.

Do I get some sort of award?

Lets see...

4 mile daily round trip to work & back home.

20 miles/week.

1,040 miles/year.

I suspect my yearly mileage will be under 10k
although I purchased the Fit late in March and
have put 1,800 miles on it so far. Early on I was
doing a lot of joy riding... I'm over that now.

4 miles round trip?! I'd be taking the long way to work just so I could drive (and warm up the engine)!

Ops! My 2007 Fit has 24,000 miles on it. I just ordered new tires that have a 45,000 mile trend warranty - I might be riding on these tires for 8 years! LOL!

On track for about 8k/year, coming up on the end of year 4.

My GD3 has been flawless in spite of how hard I drive her sometimes.

15K per year for me. Literally, I just hit 30K miles within a day of my 2 year anniversary.

Time for my 3rd oil change.

Well I don't own a fit yet since I'm still waiting for my 04 civic to show any sign of dying. I drive about 190 miles daily round-trip for work. So with that and weekend drives, errands, etc I drive about 50-55k a year. I only hope my next honda holds up as well as this Honda!

About 7-7.5k miles in the past two years that I've owned my '09. Odometer is at 15,600 miles right now, and I'm about to do my second oil change. Will start to do 3000 miles oil change intervals.


I'll probably get a second DD once I hit graduate school and the Fit goes into hibernation for some upgrades.

Why would you start to do 3k oil changes? How hard are you pushing the car that 15% comes along at 3K?

I've got 186,000 on mine right now. I got it new with 13 miles on it on July 9, 2007. That makes it 4 years and 1 month old, or 49 months old or 3,796 miles per month for 45,551 miles per year average...

The Fit is in Texas... where it has been over 100 degrees seemingly
for weeks now. It starts the day warmed up.

But, I know what you mean... I take it out on the weekend for a
better warmup driving 10 miles to the mall.
