Depends on many factors, but I find that the G is more often than not my DD, especially in the late fall, winter, early spring when it's too cold for the Miata.

I am 77.
I was looking for a good looking daily driver that could be taken on long road trips. So it had to be comfy. And have *****.
It has 16,000 miles and I do about 10,000 miles/yr
It should outlast me.

Lol. It should be, but sometimes I take it easy on the G when I know I will be attending a meet and drive or going to the track.

Looking forward to the thread

DD, but somewhat obsessive about it. Never, ever park in between other cars. Drive about 5K miles/year. And even though it has snow tires for Northeast winters, I take the wife's car about 95% of the time... as long as it's available and she doesn't give me the stink-eye about it. Admittedly, working at home + winter = haven't driven the car in about a week now.

The G is a fine looking car and all, but there's very little argument about turning it into a "show car" without going way over the top (Hi, Tony ) And while it's also a find driver's car and can be fun on the track or Auto-X, there are far better purposed vehicles for that pastime than a 3700 pound sedan.

The G is my only mode of transportation other than a bike that I never ride.

Considering how brutal this year's snow has been, I wish I had your X for the winter.

You have snows on that car, right?

I kinda wish I did too. My front lip has taken a beating from hardened piles of snow in the road. Also my car looks terrible with the duck feet and no spacers!

Hehe, nice. I will probably drive about 10k a year with mine. I totally park between two cars all the time. I'd have to park on the 9th floor of the parking garage in order not to...and that'd just be cray cray.

Yea, 3700 pounds for you lucky people with the S...over two tons for us crazy X drivers haha.

That's exactly where I would park. I always shoot for the upper levels and corner spots in parking garages. Drives the family nuts.

Your car has a 3822 pound curb weight.

My G37xS is by far the best car I ever had in Winter !! It's just a bit sad to see it dirty less then 12h after each time I wash it, but it completely worth it for how good it drive in snow
