daily commute
 
How long is your commute? Is your 3IS your DD?

link13 11-18-14 08:26 AM

3IS is my DD. Commute is 10 miles round trip. Sometimes, I go home for lunch, so 20 miles commuting on those days. This is a car I wouldn't mind spending more time in, actually.

Boost786 11-18-14 08:47 AM

3is is my daily.. 80 miles round trip 6 days a week.... already at 14k miles in only 9 months :sad::sad:

drbazing 11-18-14 09:10 AM

Mon-Fri DD 10 miles round trip.

HTXLexus 11-18-14 09:14 AM

IS is my daily. 3 mile round trip to work. Keeps the mileage low and the mpg's lower...

tC2IS350 11-18-14 09:30 AM

I'm about 50 miles round trip per day M-F. Blah. But I do enjoy the ride :) Just wish the drive entailed less traffic. The 3IS is my DD.

CashGap 11-18-14 11:25 AM

78 miles round trip M-F in my 3IS DD. 9,950 miles at lunch today after 100 days of ownership, because it's ten miles minimum round trip at lunch plus weekends.

78 miles, 78 minutes by the way, with only about thirty seconds of variation at the single traffic light I encounter.

ISISGUY 11-18-14 11:26 AM

4 miles roundtrip to work, but because of that, between my gf and I, we take my car everywhere.

HanaleiISF 11-18-14 11:45 AM

40 miles round trip 5 days a week with even time in City (35 mph) and on Highway (90 mph).

DreamAce7 11-18-14 01:19 PM

About 62 miles round trip 5 days a week.

4TehNguyen 11-18-14 01:55 PM

18 miles round trip

dojoman 11-18-14 02:03 PM

I wonder who doesn't DD 3IS? It's a practical car, not exactly a Ferrari.

Akatsuki 11-18-14 04:48 PM

40 miles round trip

corradoMR2 11-18-14 04:53 PM

DD, but not every day. 44 miles (70 km) round trip.

JDR76 11-18-14 05:12 PM

It's my DD. My one way to work is a short, but hilly, 5.5 miles. All up hill on the way to work, all down hill on the return. I do about 8500 miles a year on the IS. My wife drives the RX to work, for 12 miles each way, plus we use it a lot on the weekend, so it's about 12k miles per year.

PAPI007 11-18-14 06:23 PM

3 IS is my DD. 1 mile round trip, so 5 total miles per week.

faisal11ir 11-18-14 08:49 PM

3IS is my daily commute for 2 week of the month the other 2 weeks use the wife's car, 280 km round trip (173 miles) so around 36,960 km/year.

Hermes 11-18-14 09:47 PM

About 10km or so round trip, it's my daily driver. I love this car so much, I honestly think I'll keep it for the rest of my life, even once I get a new daily driver.

Mushi31 11-18-14 09:51 PM

i use my 3is350 as DD, 367 days later, 23000 miles.... no problem and still love it.

BlackLexEs 11-18-14 10:12 PM

3IS, DD.
50 mile round trip, 5 days a week just to our office
Around an extra 100 miles or so per week driving to client locations for work (consultant)
Plus heavy driving on weekends totaling about 60-100 miles each weekend.

Just hit the one month mark and have clocked in 2600 miles already (drove more than usual since getting the car, since it was exciting haha)
:thumbup:

kmanpete24 11-18-14 10:22 PM

IS is mainly my weekend car. But when I do drive to work it is 26 miles round trip.

Akrkwk 11-19-14 01:18 AM

It was whole reason why i got my IS to keep my M4 in the garage to commute to school 3 times a week. Its about 70 miles round trip and i use M4 to work which is about 10miles 3 times a week as well

I didn't suggest that it was a Ferrari. Plenty of people have more than one car to choose from to drive each day, and I was curious as to how many typically used the IS as their daily drive to work car.

AdvanSLF 11-19-14 06:39 AM

I'm with CashGap and Boost786, my commute really sucks as well about 70 miles round trip each day. Then weekends are visiting family and friends. 9 months of ownership and 16,000 miles. I am in the process of buying a new Altima to serve as my DD as I can't stand seeing the miles rack up so much, so quickly!

its no Ferarri, but to most people, its the most expensive or best car they have in the garage. I personally see why people would not want to rack up the miles as much especially for their daily commute, though its hard to keep myself from wanting to jump in the 3IS and just go everywhere with it.

IS350S2K 11-19-14 07:29 AM

80 miles roundtrip. My Honda Fit is my DD. My IS has about 3300 miles after 1 year.

Maxiii 11-19-14 10:41 AM

M-F 4 miles round trip to work.

Need4Speed 11-19-14 03:52 PM

27 miles a day mon-friday ... Dd ..

waleedj3is 11-21-14 09:38 AM

My DD. 100 km round trip (40 % city, 60 % Hwy)
I've done 3000 kms in just a month. :rolleyes:
