Longest distance you traveled in your G?

I just got back from NYC - the longest trip I made in my G, the total of about 1900 miles (from Chicago to NYC and back). Three people were traveling in a coupe..wasn't as bad as I expected..

DAMN! I hope one person was def. short/small....I tried to sit in the back seat of my coupe once and decided to never to do that again.

Anyway, so far the farthest I've driven is about 140 miles each way. I plan on driving it to Chicago this summer to see my dad (about 670 mi each way) since I like driving and I want to have a car while I'm there.

1,300 miles from Long Island to Ft Lauderdale, and then back two weeks later.
Averaged 24mpg on premium.
Hours of my CDs on the Music Box and audiobooks loaded into the changer in the trunk. XM was more trouble than it was worth.
Nav performed flawlessly. It directed me around traffic in Jacksonville, FL. I found that by entering the hotel's phone number, the Nav system located the destination perfectly.

I do love this car.

About 250 miles in a day. Not bad at all.

668 miles, January 21, the day I bought it used in Nashville and drove back home to Alexandria, VA. About 10 hours. A great drive, very comfortable. This was a used 2005 with Perf. wheel package, only 8300 miles and one owner in like new condition. So it was worth the $200 airline ticket and gas. Now I am budgeting my modification plans.....

You guys have done some long trips in your cars...

I think my longest is like maybe 80 miles?... on a long cruise one day to Plymouth. I usually take my truck when I'm doing long drives. It's more comfortable for the long haul and it doesn't take nearly the abuse that the G does on the same ride.

Your backs must kill you after a 4+ hour drive in the G. Whenever I'm in my car for more than like an hour straight, the seat starts to feel uncomfortable on my back.

Longest trip I had was 500 miles roundtrip... Maybe it's because I'm not a huge guy (5'8" 165), but the seat feels extremely comfortable - even after 4 hours in the car!
