Both our MINIs are daily drivers, so they get driven about four days a week on average.

When it finally arrives, it will be replacing my current daily driver, so it will be #2 DAILY DRIVER / I have other vehicles (my wife drives a 2012 Kia Sorento SX).

#5 for me, sometimes up to #4. Probably will change next year when the Active E goes back.

#2 however I have a 140+ mile daily commute. My other cars are a 2008 Nissan Altima, 1986 Ford Mustang 5.0, and a 2002 Toyota Tundra. My husband has a 1984 mustang as well and a 2012 Countryman S. Yeah I have a tendency to keep my cars.

I wish I could have afforded to do that! I'd still have a 53-year-old Jaguar Mark 2, a 47-year-old Ford Mustang and a 23-year-old Ford Probe GT, at the least.
