How many miles does your car have?

I think I may have seen a thread like this a while back but I didn't see it in the search. Either way it's time we update it anyway.

So, what does your odometer currently read and when did you get your car?
Also, have you experienced any problems so far, and if so around how many miles were you at?

Mine is at 964 and I got mine 2 or 3 weeks ago. My sense of time is so off lately haha. Thankfully no problems thus far and really hope it stays that way.

You must be kidding!?!? Only 66 miles!!!! The first day I got "Pumpkin" I almost empty the tank!!!!:D and I got it at 6pm
Got my Koup in May....Had 12km on the clock, now i am sitting on 4980km......no issues
KiaTech had mentioned in another thread that all new cars should have been driven off the lot with a minimum of 20km due to the tech's must road test each car for 20km prior to delivery to customer.

lol
i got it with 14miles at 8pm, had over 100 on it after the first night of driving it around=]
20Km is way too much mileage for a PDI. Who would want their new car driven by a stranger for that much distance. All that is needed is a few km's. Mine only had 6Km when I picked it up. I told them it must have less than 10Km on delivery and they complied.
They need the 20km road test to see if any issues arise. 20km is low for a little better peace of mind. If they drove halfway across my city it would be 20km.

I'm betting a few forum users wished they had done this 20km test, one person had his gas tank hose come loose after driving a few blocks and leaking gas down the road.
i hate having to commute to work.. bought mine in the middle of April of this year and I am almost at 10,000 KM.. It's going to be a sad sad day! lol but thankfully no issues as of yet! Touch Wood!!

thiefness I do love it. I raced a civic si last night and I made him think he was winning till I actually gave it gas and hit 90 mph in third lol. He was pissed. Matemorh I love the name of your forte I need to give mine a name. The reason it only had 66 miles on it is because my wife got home at 10 pm after buying it to suprising me with it. Now it has a little over 200 miles and still more than half a tank in it. I love this car so much better than my 05 optima.

Bought mine Jan 10th 2010 with 5 miles on it. When i saw it it was still plastic wrapped from transport. im at 5200 miles currently so roughly 1000 a month

No problems other than wierd starts (Starting at really low RPM's sounded like its about to die then the RPMS raise) only happened a couple times.

Other than that im golden...
