Average Miles Per year

How many miles per year are you putting on your smart? Please try and put into a number per year to help compare at a glance.


Is it more or less than you would with any other car?


Do your other cars get more or less use because you have a smart?

We have just hit 1 year and now have just over 20K on our smart. 20K per Year

Considering our 2 year old Versa just hit 50K I cant say it has helped keep miles off one of our other cars, but when we have the option, only 1 or two people then the smart is our car of choice.

Our pickup just sits and may hit 2K this year


We drive to much

Bought my car in June 2008.
By June 2009, I think I was at like 14k miles. So above average. Currently sitting at 17k miles.

My other car is a 1993 Acura Legend which has been sitting pretty at like 127-128k for a good year or so, I've driven it total like 5-6 times in the past year. I am trying to keep the mileage low on the Legend... so all miles go on the Smart.

730 miles per month = 9,000 miles a year.

The smart has clearly become our primary car, largely because it is a convertible, and gets about 3 times as many miles/yr as our heavy sedan.

bought mine in April 08, didn't notice miles at one year, but I just hit 10,000. So maybe 8000 per year?

Bought July 25th, 2008 with 7 miles.
On July 25th, 2009 rolled up 3688 miles or a bit over 300 miles per month.
On the other hand my Murano has only racked up about 1000 miles during that period. . . jeez, I wonder why??
