Highest Mile Prime?

Keep posting. Id.love to hear of any issues you have along the way..

I have 8,000 (well, about 8,000) after 9 months.

 

I am at 22k mi. No issues with the car. Dealership left the oil cap off the engine, but they paid for the cleanup job. LKAS is useless, DRCC is worth it’s weight in gold. Entune sucks. Fuel economy is off the charts good. I hoped for 60, and I am getting 76.

 

55,000

 

What sort of driving do you do? Is that gas-only mpg, or with a full charge mixed in?

I can get 70mpg displayed around town, but put it on the highway and mpg plummets. I got 54mpg yesterday on an interstate run, averaging about 75mph, 60F with a crosswind and about 550 lb load. That's pretty typical for me on the interstate.

Oh, and I'm at 11K miles in 8 months. I averaged about 11K a year with my previous Passat, but we use the Prime whenever possible now, and avoid my wife's SUV for around town AND trip use unless we absolutely need the load/people carrying capacity.

 

Purchased my Prime on June 13, 2017, I'm at 39k right now. My daily work commute is 80 miles primarily on highway (doing 65+) to and from work. So I'm averaging 1k miles per week and filling my gas tank 1 1/2 - 2 times depending on how long I wait to fill it.

I charge every night when I get home but don't have the option while at work. So what I've been doing is using the EV mode when not on the highway (getting to it in the mornings, going out for lunches, etc). I'm sure but I'm somewhere in the 55 to 60mpg range.

I've had zero issues with the Prime other than hating Entune and wishing the remote start worked better for defrosting the car on cold snowy mornings.

 

Do you have Toyo tires? How about they?

 

45k. Lots of traveling up and down California. Only issue today. Blowout on the Toyo tires. Getting rid of those as soon as the insurance deal goes down and I get the damages repaired. Entune sucks. Remote climate works when it feels like it. Hmm. Little bit of creaking in the driver side rear part of the car. Other than that hope it last a while.

 

22,000 miles and counting(since July 2017)...we switched out tires/rims right after we got the car...went to michelins got rid of toyo crappers...we run about 160-200 miles daily...mostly highway...with a mix of city, depending whether we are in Indiana or Henderson...a few glitches on thew 11.5 in screen like reboots for no reason...but other than that...no issues...

 

200 miles daily?!? Wow. Lol

 

Yea you guys need to move closer to your job,not worth all the hours driving

 

It’s been six years since this thread was last active. I’d be interested to hear about high mileage on Gen 4 Primes now that they are as old as 7 or even 8 years.

 

2017 with 75k miles. Problem free...well, I just fixed the overhead cabin light by bending the contracts tighter & cleaning them. Battery range remaining excellent.

 

I have been looking for a used 2017 lately and saw many in 160s - 170s. Never saw one over 200k. But I am sure there are out there.

I am curious what the OP's odometer looks like now. Their 476k mile on the 2007 made my jaw drop. And that was over 6 years ago.

 

This is the mileage on my personal Prime Advanced. Everything is original except the front struts (KYB), front control arms (no name from Ebay) and mounts (KYB). 3 windshields have been replaced and now there is a third 12V battery (standart from Costco, not AGM) . This is all. I don't count brake pads ( I changed it once I think) and tires.

 

This is the mileage I found on one of the Prime at auction.

 

This is remarkable. What year is your Prime? The EV estimated miles looks to be unchanged from new? That too is incredible.

 

Guess my estimate was incorrect on the EV capacity. At new it would have been around 34 miles? In that case it would be about 25% reduction.
