Default How many miles are you driving on your SC each year?


Are you using your SC only on the weekends or is the SC your
daily driver?

I am not driving my SC much these days myself and put only
1.5K Miles last year. Got to take the horse out of the stable

I'm doing probably between 1500 to 2000 a year since my job location changed and I use public transport most of the time.

Driving ours about 3,000 per year and we live in a climate that is mostly convertible friendly about 8 months a year. We do plan on a 2K mile road trip next summer so that will put some miles on. Currently have about 31k miles.

Only around 2-3K per year for me. Our Omaha weather is conducive to top-down motoring roughly 6 months per year, and this is definitely a "fair weather" date-night car for me. I have a Genesis G90 for cold days and a Dodge Ram 1500 for sloppy days...

I live in upstate NY so my SC is strictly a summer drive. I also have an 87 Allante, also a summer drive, so it's in direct competition with the SC. The SC is winning out and I end up driving it about 3000 miles each summer.

Due to the NY climate, the SC is used from early May to late November. Typical annual mileage is 6,000 miles.

Living in South Australia, no snow to worry about, we can drive our cars the whole year round. Having 4 cars, the SC does aprox., 1,500 Kilometers, or around 1,000 Miles a year. We don't put the top down as much as we like, as our summer months can get very hot. Last Saturday was 42C - 107F.
Bugger, I was going golfing today 27C - 80F, but It's raining.
