Just as simple as it sounds. I searched "polls" for the past 3 years and didn't see any addressing this topic. I guess I want to know with all the enthusiasts in the house and all the modding being done...how many people actually DD these cars? I, for one...didn't buy this $30k car just to let it sit in the garage 95% of the time while I drive some $5k beater. I did think about it...but I just don't see why that makes sense. So what about you? DD or no?
I definitely use mine as a daily driver. Bought my '09 G37xS a couple of months ago and spent 10+ hours in paint correction, polishing, and protection and plan on spending more time and effort in some audio mods. I agree...I don't do that so it can sit in a garage. If it's a show car where I'm trying to win awards, I can understand and would probably not drive it much. Other than that, it's gonna be driven.
2012 g37XS sedan...DD And I'm driving this baby into the ground!! Mods and all ;-)
Sounds we have the same car. I'm sure color is different, but same year and trim level. I hear you about driving the car into the ground...I feel the same way about it.

Awesome. I really need to do some paint correction myself. Will probably do that between now and May.
Ours is a daily driver, but my wife drives it daily, I get the old Toyota T100 for my daily, but at least I don't have to worry about curb rash & door dings on that one
Why would someone buy a G and not daily drive it? Only reason I can see is possible snow or if heavily modified.
I'm telling you, I might be on drugs, but I swear I saw a lot of people talking like they don't DD these things because of their stance or whatever. I dunno...I guess I thought maybe people who heavily mod don't dd. Haha.

Nice! Well we all know that Toyota will run forever haha. So that's good stuff.
Daily driver, but I sometimes take my beater, if I'm just doing random errands. I tend to only drive my G, when I just want to enjoy the ride.
Alfredo...wouldn't that be ALL the time?! Haha, FYI...I'm using your concepts as a baseline for my modding. I'm just waiting on my loser previous boss to update me on this financial concern and if things work out the way they should, I should have my thread up and running in a couple of weeks.

I voted to see the results. I don't have one yet but I will not be driving it through the winter when I do. Living in Minnesota anyhow. If I am able to successfully move to CO then maybe. I hear they don't get it as bad. But f×ck MN winters and the reign of terror it wreaks on cars >_<
Your G: Daily Driver Or Not?
