I just wanted to get an idea of how long some of you have driven in one trip (24 hour period) in your G35. Was it comfortable? Was it enjoyable? How was your mpg? The longest I have taken was just a round trip voyage to richmond and back that was about 200 miles. No problems at all, the G feels very solid and smooth at speeds over 75mph. I used cruise control most of the way.

 

didn't happen yet, but I'll be driving from Chicago to Dallas and then back, in a few weeks...

 

6 hour drive from Chicago to Northern Wisconsin. Very solid, very comfortable. Pretty good gas milage as well...don't remember exactly what but remember being happy with it.

No complaints here.

 

About 10 hours, but it was that liquid stuff you drip on your tongue......

j/k of course.


Jax to Raleigh and back the next day. About 7hrs ea way w/o traffic. Drive there turned into an 8hr trip due to a wreck. I was comfortable the entire time. I avg about 21 mpg I ~think~. Can't recall 100%.

 

I've done Irvine to San Francisco and back home in about 36 hours; the drive was relatively fine. Gas mileage was great, I think I was over 400 miles and I was more then comfortable the entire way.

 

Boston ---> Montreal ---> Toronto(Total 12hrs), and back(9hrs).

 

Drove to Vegas from LA (about 250 miles) and back - but not the same day. Very comfortable and that's when you can really put the ponies to the test (except for the wife telling me to stop trying to be Mario Andretti!! heh-heh). I think I got about 23-25 mpg's.

 

I did two 10-hour days back in the early fall. Chicago to Toronto and upstate NY to Sandusky, OH. Stopped a few times each way to stretch and eat. I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. The only real tired part was my shoulders from having to hold the wheel for that long. Canada's low speed limit was the most annoying thing.
My mpg was around 23, and this was with between 5000 and 7000 miles on the car.
The drive was very enjoyable - good weather, windows down, sunroof open, curvy and hilly roads (in NY), lots of cds, and the sound of the engine. Oh yeah, the sound of the radar detector protecting my a$$ from the cops.
Great drive, great car for the drive.

 

SF -> LA -> SF
Gas Mileage was Ok...ride was goood

 

Fairfield to Monroe-
25 miles

 

from jersey to southern florida about 18hrs. went all the way through with no stops. had one of my friends help drive... i know he loved driving the G

 

Pensacola to Cocoa leaving at 2AM, getting home around 9AM

 

I've driven to Vegas from SF (a wk or 2 after I got the car). It was great. Pretty smooth and comfortable. Many a bug had died at the bumper, though.

 

I have driven DC to KC with a nap or 2, 5 times maybe and one trip DC to San Fran, make a right then Washington and Oregon then back to DC on a 2 week vacation. On that trip it was drive as much as I could , sleep in car then drive and hotel next day alternating...

We did a 13 hour drive from California to Washington. Trip was no problem as the wife and I switched off drivers. Other than spilling a costco size bag of gold fish down the crack between the seat and center console there were no mishaps. We averaged about 24 MPG 4 days later we made the same trip back home. The G is comfy enough.
