My 04 C2 is about to touch 70k miles - i do between 11k and 12k miles per year on that one. Time to drive the C4S to catch up. I know it is just theoretical, but I attribute my lack of issues with the C2 to driving it, and maintaining it. I am hopeful that I will be able to feel the same about the C4S.

John is correct! Driving these cars regularly if not daily is the best thing for them. Mine will be turning 95k soon and is solid as a rock!!

As for driving it, I drive it every day...just not very far. The big decision I have now is whether or not I want to outfit it with snow tires and drive it this winter...or keep using my R as a daily winter "beater."
