I've got ya beat (so far) - 2004 G35X - 10,300 miles - I travel a lot (airlines su_k). The good news is that I do drive it at least once a week, warmed up well, change the oil every 3-5 months, waxed it 3 times with Zaino, etc.. I really like how the car handles, it's relatively quick, but I think the interior is a little plain (ext brilliant silver, interior willow).

 

I take my 2 daughters around in the G--I just have a no food or drink rule in place. My drives with them are usually very short--to the gym or running errands. If we go far or need to eat in the car, I take my wife's SUV.
So it is beyond me why anyone would have a G, but then drive a minivan around--even with the comments you made about fingerprints and food. No offense, but I would not be caught alive in a minivan. It is possible to have kids and a clean G.

The inside is just as spotless as the outside--this pic is actually 2 weeks after a wash...

44k mi 6 yrs since in-serv. date. 10-2002

 

NAAAA hold on now i have an 05' coupe with 7,ooo miles..... sooo i think i take the lead.

 

I tell you what. You tell me how to fit his tricycle, his sand box toys, him, me, probably some food in a cooler, his diaper bag ... maybe his mom but only if we dont go to the beach. The lil' guy is a chick magnet and maybe I could use him to trade up ....

Anytime he doesnt require that much stuff or its Cars & Coffee in Irvine, we take the G. As for the minivan, I really dont mind. Its a Honda Oddessy with DVD and leather. Looks pretty good too when its clean and has a nice smooth ride. Its not like its a Dodge Caravan ...

 

I get what you're saying, there are some nice minivans out there, and they are extremely functional, but I'm glad we have an SUV for cargo/seating capacity.

 

Hey easy on the dodge caravan now . The wife owns an 07 fully loaded DVD/Leather/Heated seats/sunroof/tripple zone clim ctr/ blah/blah/blah. It was my first domestic product and probably my last. No problems with it as yet but the history speaks for itself. Hey it was cheap, what can i say, plus 100K powertrain warranty got me. It does drive smooth. We actually went yeaterday to trade it in on a 09 Pilot (very nice) but it appears I'm $2K in the whole, so I'll wait for a year or so. Yeah dodge

 

2004. Dual electric doors, seats 7, rear seats fold down for most cargo. There were a couple of points that sold it for me though. Baby seat slides to the middle, the DVD for him obviously and i think it had the most HP out of all the 2004 minivans at the time. Oh, and I liked it better than the Toyota.

As for the dodge caravan owner .... I'm really really sorry..... that you bought a dodge. My mom and grandparents have had one or the other (chrysler Town and Country) and have had nothing but problems with them. I always wondered why they went back?

 

2003 - 34k

 

sedan with 30k miles

 

god damn do u drive at all?

 

maybe some folks don't drive a lot thinking the value of their vehicle will go up (far from truth), or they just have a second vehicle and only bring out the G went it's time to go pimpin

 

certainly not first but.....04 with 48,000

 

none of the posts above are valid unless you post your in service date--month and year so that we can calculate annual mileage--that's how you can comapare apples to apples.


44,500 10-2002 ISD.

7,416 mi/yr


and for you minidriving, never-driving G folks 10k-15kmi--you don't count. This is for daily drivers, k. Drive along, errr...walk along...

 

True ISD, will actually state when you bought the vehicle (if new). Feb, 26 2005 for me, and 32,570

 

Hey Texan1 - I agree with your theory -pro-rated as to in service date - my 2004 was an early 2004, I'll get the in service date, but my 10,300 is still in the running. As far as people saying why don't you drive more - my earlier post explains I fly a lot more than I drive -
