What kind of mileage do Zed owners do ?

Had mine for about 5 years now and done around 20k in it. I do a few big trips each year as the in laws are up north. Also the old Civic wasn’t great and lacked mod cons. The Golf is much better and faster so for the daily stuff it will be getting more miles, so maybe a little less in the Z.
I’m doing a pretty consistent £10k a year.
Car used mainly weekends but nearly half that mileage is to get to the odd meeting for work here and there once or twice a week (train into work most days).
My thinking was if my job involves me driving places I wanna have fun doing it.
Don’t care about the mileage racking up. I bought it for me and bought it for now.

Mine is a weekend car .. used on quite a few zed runs

Bought mine 2 months ago as a weekend toy, done 3k so far but still in the honeymoon period, having said that I intend using it throughout the winter and most weekends weather permitting. It’s meant to be driven after all .
Owned for 14 months and put 14k on it, sitting at about 78.5k. Still makes me smile every time I drive it.
Seems a waste to me to not use it as a daily, although I'll admit to sometimes talking my campervan or wife's A4 estate on a motorway commute in an effort to keep the z miles slightly lower.

Had mine 3 weeks done about 500 miles so far but still in honeymoon period- been using it every day for work and the odd topless blast at weekends-not driven my other drive since i picked the Zed up - do about 6k per year in total so rekon will do 2-3 k per year in the Zed .
This thread has made me feel slightly better about using mine as a daily! 
I bought it with the knowledge I'd put miles on, especially this year before a move closer to work. MOT to MOT I think ive managed a hair over 19k.. with more put on my other motor!
Wouldnt change it though, love driving it and every time without fail I get out and walk away I have to turn back just to look..

I'm doing 20k a year at the moment in mine
.In 3 years i've done 50k in mine, It does much less mileage now since i've given it to my old man and his commute is like 10 miles.
I've done around 500 miles this year which is 5 times more than the previous year
its due for its MOT in a couple of weeks and then it will be tucked up for the winter
