it all depends on how you drive and where you drive and everything. an average is just that, there are going to be people higher and lower. the numbers i've heard are 12,000 miles a year and 10,000 miles a year. i think that converts to about 15,000 km a year and 18,000 km a year or so. however, i put 10,000 miles on my car the first 3 months i had it. i don't think the numbers really matter, as long as you keep good care of your car.

Depends I guess. If you only use it for late nite snacks at Wendy's around the corner, you should be at around 1000kms [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG] I've had mine since april and I'm up at 26000 kms (16000 miles)

One things for sure in this life. Cars are bad investment. They drop in value the minute you leave your dealer with a nice smelling car. But I guess we take it the way it is. Somehow it's worth it, and it keeps you of the street (kinda) and drugs
I woukd think every mileage between 10000 and 18000 a year is within normal parameters. But once again, it depends on where you live and what you do with your car.

Holy sh*t, that's a lot... how'd you put on so much mileage?

I think most people consider a general overall average to be 20,000 km (or 12,500 miles) per year. Anything above, imo, is above average.
