Is 2000 miles a month too fast?
I accepted delivery of my 2007 Chevy Cobalt LS around March 7th, and since then I've put roughly 2000 miles on it. That's just over a month. Is that fast for a new car? How many miles a month do you guys drive?
I'm not too overly concerned because it's a brand new car and I'm sure it can handle a lot of driving, but I don't want to wear anything out too quickly either if I can help it.
Everything should be okay if I stick to the scheduled maintenance right?

I've had my car for 2 weeks and I've put 1,000 on it. I'm in the same boat as you. As long as you keep it up, it should be ok. What's going to happen is going to happen when you get to a certain milage anyways, right? We're just building up a lot of miles Really quick. I'm going to have to cut back on driving some. I'm not trying to put 24k miles on my car the first year I have it.
