I probably won't put much more than that on my First year (if that much)!

At my dealership, Ive already seen some customer's want to get out their cars after 5 or 6 months, only because theyre older and want to get in something easier to get in and out of.
You would be surprised as to what some of the reasoning people have for getting out of their cars before the 1st year of ownership.

There is only 1 of 2 reasons why I can see a decent mileage car selling so soon.
1. it was either a TEST MULE. You see so many videos on youtube of these cars getting beat on, its gotta eventually be someones car. Car and driver has a section on their website called Long Term road test and put about 20k mile test on a 2015 WRX (as well as an M3 and a few other cars) where they bought it brand new and see how well it held up after 20k. I think it was 20k in about 6 months. They have a 2014 Jaguar F-type with 40k already. Car and Driver aren't the only people who do this so expect a few more higher mileage cars out there.
2. A person who actually drives their car instead of it being driveway queen like most people. A nice car that ends up not being practical for their day to day life. I always say, if I ever have a Ferrari or Lambo, it would probably have like 100k on the odo because i would drive it everyday. Rain, sleet, snow... EVERYDAY!

. Having said that, there's no way I'd be able to do that without the steering wheel auto tilt up/in function, which I had always deactivated before (not needed). In fact, I'd have also left the auto seat slide function on, but it's not available on the RC-F. I have to close by saying this car has the most incredible driving environment of any car I've owned: incredible seats, awesome thick and small steering wheel with the unique ability to tilt super low (and still being able to see the full instrumentation), killer dash, gauges and stereo, super wide dead pedal & floor-hinged gas pedal, an actual mechanical shift lever, and the best relationship among seat/pedals/steering-wheel. You feel like you're in a super exotic, and it's only an $80K car. To me, THAT is more important than all-out power, handling, etc. And we all know this car holds his own extremely well in that department too. Plus most of us bought this car for its touring, not track ability. And be able to go fast while feeling planted, corner at neck-snapping rates with little body roll... but without endangering ourselves and others, and do all of that in an inviting, comfortable, and relatively quiet cabin, enjoying either music on the very nice stereo, or some nice company. Critics of this car for its lack of performance, just don't get what this car is all about

It's hard to get in and out of because of the HUGE seat bolsters... but I wouldn't change those seats for anytihng. They're the best I've owned. I always lever myself in and out of my cars (to avoid wearing the seats), and it's a bit more challenging on this car, but that pushes me to keep myself fit.
