03 coupe

20-60 miles daily driven, about 6 track days and 100 drag strip runs per year. About to hit 80k.. car runs strong. Just did my diff for the 2nd time same with the trans. Run German Castrol Syntec 0w-30, 5000-7500 miles between oil changes. Nothing has been replaced but window motors not even the battery which still turns over right away at the current 0 degree weather.


Even got some new mods about to be installed. Plan to keep this car a long long time!

Every day driver, even through the winter. Only about 10 miles round trip 5 days a week for work, then I guess I drive it a lot on the weekends because I have done 15k in 11 months. Love the Z...comfortable enough to be a DD, tight enough to have fun in.

My ZR is currently my daily driver and I put a minimum of 45 miles on it to and from work. If it is a day that I have to visit one of our branches then it could be 60 - 70 miles for that day. We are looking for a new car for my wife (currently the 2007 Civic Coupe is the front runner), once we make that purchase her 2000 Mitsubishi Galant will take over as the commuter car.

M-F, about 1.5 miles or so. I'll be walking when it stops raining and being cold.

My Z is the Daily Driver. 22 miles to work, each way, so 45-50 miles per day (with trips to lunch etc). Out of that 22 miles, probably 12 is highway miles, and the rest is like 50-60 mph routes. That isn't that much, but it adds up FAST. I took quite a few trips this summer, but I have put 14,000 miles on the Z since I got at the end of May, beginning of June. Unfortunately that means I am putting well over 25k miles per year on the Z, which means it will have well over 100,000 miles before its paid for. :/

Harsh? I wouldn't say harsh, but it certainly isn't smooth. Its like driving a sports car on a daily basis? Go test drive one and you will see. I DD and I am not uncomfortable, and its been on 400 mile trips as well.

I put about 50 miles a day (to and from work). Look forward to driving it every morning
+1. The only thing that keeps me sane at work is remebering that I get to drive the Z for a half hour on the way home.

I drive mine every day for about 1-2 miles a day. When I move my commute will be about 10 round trip a day. The only time it does not get driven is when it is snowy icy out, because the car just slids around

About 1300 a month, or 40 a day average. I've owned mine for 15 months.

Bought my Z in 2003 and it currently has 22k miles. Bought my 05 Altima in 2004 and it's got ~55k miles. I drive a lot so if I only had one car then my Z would be worthless.
