My Mini is my only car. I drive it everyday. 25k miles since I got it 10 months ago. I am almost at 29k now. I have been averging about 4000 miles a month in the past 2 months.

I guess I didn't intend for the MCS to be my daily driver. I have two cars and I figured I'd split the driving between the two except during the winter when I'd drive the MCS exclusively.

However, since the MINI arrived, I find myself driving it all the time. I always seem to be able to come up with an excuse not to take the M3 places.

And if you had told me I wouldn't want to drive the M3 three months ago I would have said you were crazy!

I drive mine all day and all night. Looking to get 10,000 mile service done this month.

Got it close enough at Reservoir Dogs Run { check out the thread and meet us next year} Will blow it by 10000 this weekend with the Long Island Run. Come join us!

MCS is my daily driver, except during those beautiful summer week-end evenings, when MGs must be exercised.

Daily driver here and only car.
25k miles since Jan 03, which is more per mo than I had on my previous car, a Subaru, in fact, about 3 times more. In addition to daily driver, it's also my fun car.

>>Daily driver all the way and I can't imagine wanting any other car...after 7 months I still make excuses to run extra errands

I drove my girlfriend's 850 this weekend, and found that I definitely had to adjust my approach to interstate ramps...

Looks like everyone drives their MINI all the time.

I'll just say "Me too!"

It's great for commuting, and great for weekend fun.

I use my MINI for work which is about 40 miles roundtrip a day. Its funny that this thread came up becuase I might get a new job in NYC and one of things I was thinking about was not being able to drive my MINI everyday!

It is my only car. Just put it over 16K last week and I've had it 9 months. Two road trips and my normal driving. I love it.
