Do you drive your subie everywhere??
Ok...some of you might laugh but im controlling my driving urges to drive the subie everywhere....But I love driving....long driving trips!
Before the RS i had a faithful companion, a 93 Mazda Mx6 which i drove so much that when i traded her in, she had 206K miles on it.... I then purchase a 2005 2.5RS before the STi, got her in Dec 2004 as a bday gift since back then i couldnt afford the STi or the rex... and drove her like crazy cos i loved it so much. A couple of trips to St.Louis and Atlanta... by the end of the year (~9months) before i sold it to a good friend of mine..it had 32Kmiles on it..dropped the value of the car like a wet brick! After which i bought a 04 STi with 14K miles on it in December...and have so far put 3K on it....I m I just crazy or not thinking straight....or do you guys do or think the same??? laters, zmaster

I drive mine everywhere, but I don't have a choice Not that it matters, because I do enjoy driving and I'd rather drive with many of my friends than let them drive

I have three cars, so it depends on the weather and my mood.

If you really want to keep the miles down get a beater fortunately the STi isn't going anywhere so it's not like you have to keep it at super low miles as a collector car (unless that's your goal ).
I've got 25K miles on my 02 WRX (1st allotment car purchased in 01) and when I do drive it, I take it everywhere, fortunately I have a few options in terms of what to drive in the morning and trains and planes are also options for my daily grind. lateRZ |

Cars are not investments. They are made to be driven. Worry less about what its going to be worth and just enjoy it.

I had my rs last year and I took it from 51,500 miles too 78,655 before someone cut me off in a snow storm and totalled it. Since then, I've learned that a winter beater is a must have- Ive only put 10k on my rs-t
