Not sure if there was a post about this yet and it makes me wonder all the time. I see alot of topics about people using their TL less then twice a week but not everyone has that option. Since this is the only car I have, along with 2 jobs and nonstop running around.

I picked up my TL on April 27th 2012 and as of today July 29th I have already racked up 5.8k miles. Does this make me a bad person?

Granted the car when I picked it up had 60k miles, I hate seeing the miles rack up on a beautiful car. Was thinking of getting a cheap side car for the fall/winter etc.

 

got mine back in october 2011 with 56K km's, currently sitting at 75K kms.
i bought the car to drive not too sit in a garage all the time. besides its just a TL not a R8 or something.

 

I drive it everyday, I could have used it as a weekend car and kept my old beater, but I saw little sense in insuring 2 cars and paying registration on both.
Would have been handy though, the other car was automatic and better for those trips where I need to go to sketchy places.
I get real paranoid taking the TL to sketchy places....

 

Bought 2008 NHB TL Feb 2011 with 51K as of right now 93K.. Lets just say I haven't stopped driving her.

 

New to forum, hi, sold my 1996 Acura Integra and now have a Black on black 06 TL that's my DD got her for 9k with 120k miles..got it a week ago and love it..but to the point, I think this car is meant to be driven with pride and shown off everyday

 

it's supposed to be daily driven lol

 

The man is in love with his car! Nothing wrong with that, but you'll fall for your next car just as hard. Just enjoy this one while you have it.

 

Not at all man.. I bought mine the day before you bought yours and I've racked up a little over 4k miles on it since, and that's because I sometimes don't drive for a week straight. I bought it at 36.4k and it now has about (can't remember exactly) 40.7 or so. At first I hesitated about putting miles in it but I figured, he'll I bought this car to enjoy and I have no plans on selling it so y worry about rackin up miles on it. That being said I will be proud when I see the car hit 100k, 150k, 200k miles and so forth

 

When your TL is your DD, you can't help but rack up miles. Smile and enjoy the ride!!

 

Rack the miles up, no sense in having a nice car and never driving it. If you got a beater you would still end up driving the TL. Honda's run forever, I don't worry about miles. I worry about parking it an leaving it more than anything. I never park by trucks, coups, or beaters and I have no door dings after 2 years..I've been lucky.

 

I drive 1,000 miles a week :P

 

I've had my car for 4 months and have already added 11k miles to it. Who cares, it's a car and it's meant to be driven.

Somebody on here has a signature related to this. It said something like Not driving your car to keep the miles low, is like not having sex with your wife to make it better for the next guy.
Something like that.

 

LOLOLOLOL silly thread is silly thread.

 

We drive Hondas not BMWs, we can drive these cars to 200k if not 300k.

 

Unless you make it into a show car, I don't see why you would buy it to drive it only on weekends. It's a nice car and all, but it just doesn't seem like a car someone would buy for a weekend toy.

If you have a car that gets better MPG then I could see why. But no, driving your car everyday doesn't make you a bad person. lol

 

I thought I was the only one, bought my car with 56k In May, just cracked 60k 1 day ago.

 

I guess this being my first car ever bought by myself I get paranoid. I'm sure everyone gets like that haha. The car is still a baby. Looking forward to its 200k birthday.

 

Agreed ^^^ - Isn't driving the car you like more the better?

 

I still win.
i'm at 54K miles.

 

you also didn't drive your car for like 5 months...something about a lawn

i have a hair more miles than you do but mine is a yr older than yours.

 

I'm at 46k I only get a chance to drive on weekends because I take public transportation to work.

 

The TL is a work horse. I bought mine 13 months ago with 96k and I'm now sitting at 162704. Yup, thats 66k+ miles in a little over a year.

 

I bought my 2004 TL with 56K back in Aug 2009. I now have 86K.

However... Got my wife a new RAV4 V6 Limited in Feb 2012. Ever since then I have put only ~1400 miles on my TL, as we now drive her car on the weekends. My car now only gets 5-10 miles a day average.

I am real happy about this, as I want to keep it another 2 years or so, and now it will easily last and hopefully hold some value.

 

I bought the TL back in Feb 10 at 59,300 miles now its at 63,200 and the reason for low mileage because I have 00 Accord for daily driving. I don't intend to let the TL sit in the garage I mean after all you buy a car to drive it not to let it sit.

 

6 years 100,000 miles
getting happier as i put more

 

Miles, miles, miles yo. I plan on handing the TL down to my boy when he turns 16. He's 8 right now. At 15K a year (high estimate) It'll be at around 200K. Just broken in :P

And it really is just a TL. 90% of TL's are worth between $10K-20K. If we were talking a $50K+ vehicle then sure, it might not be a DD unless you were raking in the dough. But it's not. It's an entry level luxury sedan built by Honda.

 

Holy hell. Did you do laps around the world or something?

 

I drive mine daily all the time everywhere and I have gone from 91,000km to 147,000 km from april 2011 to july 2012. So roughly 56,000km in 16 months.

I average about 3,500 km a month. . 2007 tl type s

Its a car. Drive it and enjoy it and watch the people stare

 

thats it? i drive more than that lol, and i know there are people who drive more than me, so im not worried about racking up miles

 

Already put 6000 miles on it since I purchased it in may....who cares its a car, just keep it clean

 

Jjh

 

cars are meant to be driven. The miles you put on it are miles enjoyed, at least imo.

 

i use my accord for work during the week and drive my type-s on the weekend to keep miles low. my two brothers daily their tl since its their only car.

 

I bought mine in December of last year, right before Christmas, with like 115K miles. Going on a road trip in a week, at the end of that I'll be at 140K miles. Don't feel bad.

 

nice family you got there
