Help me feel better about how many miles I am putting on my car.

[5tinger]

I got mine with 23km in May 2019
It now has 2,800km

I've literally spent more time cleaning & detailing it than driving it LOL

You high mileage drivers are doing US a favor by helping establish the vehicles build reliability vs. warranty value. You’ll be the ones to let us know if this thing can/will make 10 years - 100,000 miles. So thanks for that. You high mileage drivers are doing YOURSELVES a favor by.... getting more time with the freedom and smiles the miles in this car brings.... So thank yourselves for that. Stay safe out there. db

So far the only problem I've had has been sunroof rattle. The dealership had it for two days to silence it and it came back about 200 miles later, lol. I've resorted to just playing the music louder.

At least they did something for your car, They saw a dash cam in mine and said they would not even look at the rattle. Said aftermarket part was installed haha.

I bought it brand new with about 15 miles on it and odometer currently reads about 21000 miles.
It is 14 months old.
I also don't like it building up miles but the mindset I have is that I bought this car to drive and have fun.
in fact, every mile has been fun!

In my first year with the car, I put 19,750 miles on it. Mostly commuting to work. Bothered the hell out of me. Then I moved and got a closer job, but now I joyride a lot more. About to hit 24k miles now. I've learned to not care about mileage so much. I plan on keeping the car long term, so mileage doesn't mean much. Just shows how much I've enjoyed the car.

Plus, the stinger is meant to be a daily driver. take care of it, and it should last a long time and many many miles.

Mine has the odd rattle here and there, nothing to bad, just part of its 1st Gen character.

 

[7Andrei7]

Had mine since beginning of Feb 2019 and I'm now at 48K km, so almost 30K miles. My plan was to do 150K km in the first 5 years. A little off target

 

[MrSmoofy]

about 30k miles in 16 months

You're just making up for the miles that aren't getting put on mine.
Miles since March=0.
It's washed, waxed, on a charger, with tires extra inflated.

just curious... why?

I'm working entirely from home, and in DC area which is just starting to reopen. The other car has gotten about 50mi. This way I can leave the Stinger sheltered in the garage.

 

[찌르는 것 GT1]

Exactly what I came here to say. It's a Kia, so the resale value is likely to be terrible by time you go to get rid of it anyway. Why pay for something you don't use? Use the hell out of it. I can't wait for PA to largely come off lockdown so I can take a drive up there and see my friends. I'd normally make that a flight, but I'd rather take the Stinger on a long trip.

What general area are you located at in PA? I have yet to see another Stinger within a 50 mile radius from where I am located (south central, Gettysburg area)

Yeah I delayed cracking 20k on mine by probably a month and a half just due to the lockdown. I went from a 50 mile round trip commute every day to driving 8 miles round trip to the grocery store once a week, lol...

 

[SFM]

19200 miles in 11 months and 10 days

 

[Savvas]

I love this thing so much I don't mind driving it in circles!

 

[stung cb]

This won’t help. Mines 15months old, only 9000kms (5500miles)

Me either.....Mine is 5 months old, only 2000 miles.
I share my driving time in its big brother a 2020 Kia K900. It has the same 3.3L twin turbo, 8 speed tran. Not as much performance as the Stinger but not too far off with bunches more luxury.
