With all the people who've picked up there cars from dealers who were a couple of hundred miles away, or people who've taken long distance trips, I'm getting the impression that not many of these cars will become garage queens.

In contrast, I've had a probelm with my MV (motorcycle) having too many miles because a large chunk of owners don't use it that often (I have 10K miles compared to 3K - 4K miles). But it doesn't look like I'm going to have that problem with the Elise!

So, how long have you had your Elise and how many miles do you currently have? Thanks!

3168 as of 2nd Nov.

I did 800 in the first two days, then 800 a day for the next two, and the remaining 400 the day following.... for 2800 miles in five days. This last week I've put the other approx. 400 miles on.

Gonna need new tires in about 1000 miles.

My poor Elise. Well... no one can say it's a trailer queen!

I turned past 4,000 miles during the Bay Area Halloween drive.

Had it 40 days now. So... 100 miles a day ave. Might have something to do with that 3,100 mile drive I did in 3 days. The miles are now gonna go on much more slowly.

2035 miles in five days. Now I'm bummed out that she's so far away. But if she was here, she's be in the garage anyway. The snow is on the ground for the winter now, and it is supposed to get down below zero this weekend.

About 57000 miles in 3 years

Bye, Arno.

 

[Patricko]

1,750 miles 2 months. I would have more miles if I could stay in the country. I am off to the UK again Friday, I will try to do the tour at Hethel this time

 

[rob]

0 miles.

My other car has 65,000 miles in 30 months

Anyway, just curious. What percentage do people put on just driving back and forth to work? I only put on 5,000 a year driving back and forth to work. I imagine my Elise will see most of its miles in long distance driving.

 

[911EATER]

1400 miles since July 31.

 

[eletourneau]

250 miles in 2 months.

 

[demarco]

100 miles in 2 hours.

[Tech_KO]

250 miles in 2 months.

Just a tad less than mine. . . .1200 miles in 3.5 months

 

[MikeAR303]

1600 miles in just under 2 weeks.

Damn though... some of you who live in warmer areas need to start driving these cars! I live in Chicago, where there are actual seasons, and have already managed to put more miles on in 2 weeks than a lot of you have in 2-3 months

 

[Miguel]

650 in two weeks

1st 450 done in the first 2 days, then work and Halloween got in the way.

I'll probably will reach the 1000 mile mark this weekend.

Edit: I've been driving her every day, I only used my other vehicle 3 nights since I have my Elise.
