Hi all,
Just a quick survey, how many KMs have you driven in your car? Can you physically feel the wear and tear, in comparison with say 1/2 the number of KMs ago?
Much appreciated

well I have 194000km on my teg, but since I've owned it I've only done 25 000km so I couldn't really tell you.
I suppose it all comes down to how you treat it etc.

cars on 146,000km, bought it when it was 75,000km (so pretty much doubled). yeh, you can feel wear and tear.
performance is fine, engine sounds fine (though maybe a little louder)
but some interior creaks and rattles.
chipped paint
glass scratches
usual stuff
car is 99 ek1...so it's almost 10yo! EEK!

103,000km's... since the car has seen the race track, and multiple strut bars and stiffer coilovers have been added... the car body is feeling the wear and tear. However, the engine is as good as new.
When I got the car 3 years ago with 78,000km's on it, there were no rattles, and everything was like brand new.

bought on 67K, now on 237K - should be more, but its been off the road for most of the year. Like everyone else said, you notice the rattles more. Also hard sussy tends to rattle things up too.

My gf has done more ks in my car than I have. bought it on 173 now at 188. Once her car is back on the road the old girl can go back to being a garage queen.
