Thumbs up Yup.
Drive a 7 year old X5 and it will feel like it has 5,000 miles on it.

Drive a 7 year old Honda and it will feel like it has 85,000 miles on it (actual mileage).

Drive a 7 year old Ford and it you'll feel like the car has 200,000 miles on it.

Couldn't agree more, it is about perspective. The author of the article is not a driver, but a user of modes or transportation in an efficient manner. Whereas an enthusiast appreciates the engineering that went into a fine automobile to make its 3,650th day feel like its first.
