Least Mileage G35
#16
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...

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.

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?
