How often do you drive your C450/C43

lets share how often you guys are driving your C450/C43. Curious to see what everyone is doing with these cars.

For me its more of a weekend warrior. I carpool into work during the week (not my car). so i usually drive it going out afterwards during the week (rare) and mostly weekends.

i guess it depends on how many people are leasing these cars vs owning.... probably doesn't make sense to lease a car you hardly drive? lol

Living just outside London and with the congestion charge and exorbitant cost of parking in the city I take the train into work.
I get a seat both ways so no complaints. Come Friday evening it's a different matter. But please don't ask me to drive into London.
Just don't.

Occasionally once Spring arrives (4-5 times a week). I drive another vehicle on days when I cannot park in BFE away from everyone.

Hah ! I drive about 30k per year for work (I fight speeding tickets in the NY area, Albany to Montauk). A typical day is 100 miles, I've done a few 300 mile days if the court schedules and geography conspire against me. Any car which is my daily goes right into "the grinder" as I park away from everyone else, am on permanent pothole paranoia patrol, but stuff happens. You can't miss every pothole. A kid in an SUV will ding your door. Driving a great car doesn't eliminate morons on the road, even if you can usually escape from them. I bought the 100k max warranty and maintain religously..

Yup, can't lease. Set of tires every two years. Battery every three. My prior DD was an e46 BMW, which retired with 334k on the odo. Original Clutch. The C43 seats are as good or better than the BMW sport seats. The clutch had finally died but the car got recycled due to frame rail rust.

Yup, I keep them till they die....change the oil and do all the maintenance.....

Maybe 4times a month on my day off. But my daily is a 2019 Jeep grand cherokee Limited X with the 5.7L hemi. There's something about sitting higher that makes driving so much more enjoyable...
