I try to drive mine during the week thru the whole summer then I drive it from BC to PHX for the winter and use it as my Snowbird car. In my first year of ownership I have driven 9,000 miles and have loved all of them

I need to drive mine more. As a bonus it does actually get better gas mileage than my daily driver, the X5M.

My same logic.

I use the car a few times a week. I have had it for about a year and a half with around 14,000 miles on the odo.

I drive mine 1x per week and do feel like maybe it would be happier mechanically if I drove it more. With just 2.5 months left on the warranty I hope whatever needs to happen will happen soon (prefer nothing). Will flog it more to see...

LOL....I'm getting a good chuckle....my radio is also getting very little use these days, as like yourself, I love listening to the exhaust note.

3 days a week. It gets the best gas mileage of the lot... RR Sport supercharged and CLS55 AMG. But i'll got 10 days without driving it, depends on what I have to pack to the office and our 6 month old keeps it in the garage more.

I drive mine 4-5 days a week, though typically only 14 miles a day.

Not enough ... no covered parking during the week, just don't want to bake the leather in FL sun all day long .... best part is the yearly 10 day trip to the mountains ... pack the wife and all our stuff ... roads in GA/TN/NC are just a blast during the fall leaf season !

I have an "06 DB9 and drive mine 3 to 4 times a week when I'm in town. When I bought it the dealer told me that Aston that are driven regularly & serviced properly have far fewer problems that those that sit in the garage. I love driving my AM.

I think I need to updated my statement:

Every day that it is not snowing AND there's no HURRICANE!

Whenever the weather isn't rain or snow (the 4WD A8 takes over then).

I drive with the windows open to hear the car better, but rain just spoils the fun. That £5,000 B&O sound system wasn't my best investment, its been on for about an hour since I bought the car 10 months ago.
