515 in 2 wks?

Thats not a lot at all, hell I drove it 750 just last WEEKEND..

Seriously, I would say 515 in 2 wks is probably normal for anyone, so drive it more

mileage means nothing...just watch how you drive during the break in period.

A car's meant to be driven. I mean the TL's a nice car, but it's not like it's a collectible

Thanks everyone for your opinion. =)

I think imma drive it more tomorrow, hahaha.

I can't wait for me to reach 600 miles, cuz i want to red line jus to feel its power. I know i'm supposed to take it easy the first 600 miles, which i've done, but since it's reached 500, i've been tending to drive it a little faster than normal.

I'm excited!

1200 miles in 6 weeks! In San Diego! But I am itching for a road trip to open it up a bit. Stop n' go traffic to and from work isn't cutting it. This TL wants to be set free!

Add an extra mile or two every other week and come out to the San Diego Fusion meet with the rest of us We normally get together every other week to hang out and see what new things people have done to there cars...... see ya there

I've had my TL for 26 days and I am at 1560 miles. However, I am thinking about buying a used SUV to occasionally haul stuff around and keep miles off the TL. Ideally, I would like to drive each vehicle 50% of the time.

Man when I had my 02 RSX-S, I was worried about putting miles on it. I never took a road trip or anything with that car. When I trade my RSX back last August, it didn't have 50k miles yet. I had the car for almost 4 yrs..

When I got the TL in August 05, I drove the hell out of it. I don't know why, but for some reason this car was meant to drive. I took 2 trips to Orlando FL and it's 9 months now since I have the car and I have over 15k miles. So much for saving miles, I love driving my 6 speed TL.
