Hello I was just wondering, I only have 1 car which is the GS, i was wondering about what others have and if they are using the GS as their daily driver.
A lot of people told me they would have like a beater cars and then use the GS for certain occasion.
Yeah I have black 2007 accord coupe on coilovers,18x9 wheels, with black jdm headlights for my work car it a good gas saver vs putting premium in my gs.
Sp slightly off topic because GX owner here not GS BUT I've only owned my GX for a little over a month and try not to drive it every day, typically several time a week it gets driven.Other time is spent commuting for work in a Fiat 500 abarth .I'd like to drive the GX more but with how much I drive for work , fuel economy and the 307k Mike's on the GX I try to use less in Hope's I can make it last longer .Might be failed logic , still figuring it out lol.

I just put regular in mine and has been good for 120K miles on the 4th gen. Gets about the same gas mileage as premium too.
My wife and I have been dailying my GS but I think this winter I am gonna leave it at my shop (hopefully finish the swap) and drive my 1993 Nissan pick up. This summer is the first summer that I have been really getting into exterior detailing and I cringe at the thought of snow on top of the car turning to ice and slowly melting off while it scratches the crap out of my clear coat.

I tried to get my wife a GX and she was set on a new Dodge Grand Caravan for all the seating and stow n go . One day I will just show up and swap her out for a GX and get rid of the van while she sleeps. I have a customer who owns an LX and a GX. The GX has about 250k and the LX has a very impressive 330k. They are both so well maintained that I would buy either in a heart beat, they run and drive like new.
Nah - its better to enjoy the car IMHO and not have a second car which you have to insure, register, maintain, etc. I hardly drive my car as it is b/c I commute using mass transportation but wish I could drive it more to get my money's worth. My uncle did this with his BMW X5 SUV (he bought a high mileage Acura TL as his daily) and he regretted not just using the BMW and enjoying it.
If I had the money or need, i'd do it differently: I'd use the GS as the daily driver (since its a great, reliable driveable sedan) and have a Range Rover or Porsche as the occasional/recreational ride.
I conquer, A GS is a decent daily driver. To add to the luxury options, if you want to get the best value to luxury dollar, the best is to only own one Daily beater car, like a Toyota Corolla, and then take the 40-120k you would have spent on a luxury car and instead rent a new car every weekend. That, of course, is for someone who likes to try out new cars. You can rent a Tesla for 100$ a day, for a weekend, then a Porsche the next weekend for about the same. Over 10 years, the costs will be about the same, but the variety of experience is far better. For someone who wants a Luxy weekend experience, but wants to get to know a car for a longer period of time, leasing allows you to get a new car every 2 years, and will wind up being about the same as buying over 10 years, without the benefit of getting that new car every other year. Let's face it, 10-year-old Luxury car's don't hold their value that well, what we buy is the experience. So why not pay for a more various, constantly refreshing luxury experience?

So this question can be answered a couple of ways... so when I had my GS F-SPORT I drove it mainly in the spring/summer & never in the winter for 2 reasons 1 it was a RWD in Boston & 2 I was also driving a GX for day to day stuff that needed to be accomplished & stuff that needed to be done @ my rental properties.
Now that I drive a GSF modded to death I truly only drive my car when it’s nice out or certain occasions sunny days never when it rains & drive the GX daily but at the end of the day it’s your call... how you feel about your GS & how if you can deal with driving something other than a Lexus or an older lexus as a beater... I mean I’ve been driving beaters for probably 16 yrs, Range Rovers, bmw, Volvo, Honda, Toyota, etc... now my daily is a newer GX (no longer beaters ) & I have no complaints with letting the my GSF just sit a day or 2 garaged, I know when I pull it out or when I jump in it will be just the way I left it... clean visually stunning & still dry from not being in a rain storm the day before...
So again I chock it up to what’s most important to you... you see we all have are own thoughts ideas or driving patterns question is what is it you want to do or do not want to do to preserve your GS good bad or ugly....

The wheels are white diamond wheels, I had to track down a Set with my mod connections because they are not heavily stocked like years ago... but I tracked them cuz I knew they would look good on the GX
