#1: gti who uses every day and yearly mileage Author: m4tth3w, Location: sheffieldPosted: Wed Dec 14, 2011 5:41 pm ---- With the current financial climate and horrendous fuel, tax and insurance costs I was wondering 2 things.
Who uses their 206gti as a daily drive
And
How many miles do you stick on her every year.
I'll be using mine every day during winter and early spring, and probably about 6k a year as in the warmer months I use my 76mpg vespa. Last edited by m4tth3w on Wed Dec 14, 2011 5:43 pm; edited 1 time in total

many of my friends have vespa px,s cannot beat them
our old gti used to be our daily driver but doing 15k a year worked out cheaper getting a diesel
the savings was huge!

#10: Re: gti who uses every day and yearly mileage Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:10 am ---- i use mine every day for work its a 10mile round trip. Im not to botherd on mpg and all that when the light comes on i just fill it back up lol. Depends on road trips ect but id say around 8k a year
#11: Re: gti who uses every day and yearly mileage Author: D4NTP, Location: Not Leeds or its surrounding areas!Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 4:22 am ---- I must just be incredibly sad, but, before i buy a car i work out the cost per year. i include everything from fuel to tyres, servicing and likely depreciation, insurance, tax, likely repairs etc etc.
I would hate to be in a position where i didnt like my car anymore just for financial reasons. Hence why ive got my audi and not the porsche i wanted.
As for the gti, it gets used when the weather is bad and for trackdays. usually around 1000 miles a year (+trackdays), and it costs a lot less to run than my audi.
Free insurance, 35mpg, cheap tyres, cheap servicing.
To keep it road legal cost me about 300 quid a year (tax, mot). Its only when you add in the trackdays and consumables that it gets expensive. Even then, i think ive spent about 2000 this year all in. less than some of you guys insurance premiums!

#14: Re: gti who uses every day and yearly mileage Author: martinius88, Location: Rushden, NorthantsPosted: Thu Dec 15, 2011 8:09 am ---- I do about 9000 miles a year, and used every day for a 50 miles round trip, also used for driving to Germany quite regularly!
#15: Re: gti who uses every day and yearly mileage Author: crocdino, Location: LeedsPosted: Mon Dec 19, 2011 1:43 pm ---- 7k ish a year... it's my lasses mon-fri car does about 25 mile round trip a day..
