| How many KM have you put on your car?
So everybody, how many KM have you put on your car since you got whatever car you're driving now, whether it be new or old.
1) Year and Vehicle
2)If it's brand new, list out new, how many years driven, and KM.
or
2) If it's old, list how many KM when you got it, how many years driven and KM.
3) Condition of the car
4) Major services down on vehicle @ which KM since you got hte car
5) Whether you like how it's holding up for you everyday needs
So I'll start I guess:
1) 2008 Honda Fit Sport
2) New, driven for 4 months and almost 9000KM (I drive to surrey and back everyday and around town)
3) Pretty new still except rock chip on front hood
4) Hm. Not sure if SRS Recall counts as Major Service. lol, other than that no major services.
5) Underpowered, but good on gas. Lots of room, interior is OK, and kinda of fun to drive I guess.
..and You?
**EDIT: Please edit your post and post a picture too if you can too!
6) Do you guys plan to drive it to death, rebuild it, etc. (keeping car till it actually dies out after rebuild, etc etc)

1) 2006 Mazda3 GT
2) New on Feb06, driven 45,000km over 2.5 years. Daily driven to SFU, autocross, track, misc daily use.
3) Various little things here and there.
4) No servicing from the dealer whatsoever. Aside from gas and oil changes, the only "repairs/maintenance" I do is throw out the OEM garbage for aftermarket parts. =D
5) 12L/100km is fucking bullshit for a car putting out 185hp, and it's because I have to drive it hard to have any fun. Next time, I'll get a car that comes with more power stock and save some gas. It's also ridiculous how much I had to put into the suspension to make this car even close to tolerable even as a daily driver. Modding is fun and all, but in the long run it's *cheaper* with far better reliability to just buy a car that comes the way you want it.

2002 Saturn SC2
Got it new with 7kms on it, it's got just over 94 000kms now.
Overall condition is near new. Minor rock chips on the hood/ front fascia, and two door hacks on the driver's side.
No big issues with it. I had to replace the shifter cables, as they were working themselves out of the crimped fittings on the transmission end, and the brakes have been replaced. Both issues can probably be related to track use.
My only complaint is the utter lack of an aftermarket for these cars/ drivetrain. Other than that, it's got more torque, more features, and better handling than all of it's similarly priced competition from the same year, and the plastic panels are rad!
