Default What's your daily driver ?

I love my gs350 but don't want to stack mileage on it so I want to start looking for a DD! So is the gs your dad if not what is?

The GS is my daily driver and I think the GS is the best daily driver car I could ever ask for. Very comfy ride and very quick on its feet, also excellent when maneuvering in a tight parking lot, especially when u need to do a U-turn and has a huge trunk space for those grocery runs. I fit a lawnmower in the trunk the other day from Home Depot.

This car is the best all around and very hard to replace.

GS is my DD, but like you my 02 Sequoia helps out about 1 week a month. In the almost 3 yrs I've had the GS, I've put on about 21K, and 10K on the Sequoia. Typically the Sequoia will see DD duty for a week or two after I've given the GS a wash and detail.

If I were you, I'd keep my GS as the DD and find a project car for the weekends... always wanted a Miata...

14 RX 350 with 60k miles. Reliability has been flawless. Glad I didn't opt for the extended warranty since so far, I wouldn't have used it.

The GS could eat miles like nothing. Long drives don't feel that long in this car.

I don't understand having a DD when you have a GS to drive. I drive mine so much even when presented with the opportunity to drive other people's cars.

What? 100K miles in 2 1/2 years... did noone tell you that there was a pandemic last year and you should have been working from home? How'd you put on so many miles?

I honestly don’t even know haha. But from feb 2019-mar 2020 when COVID began; work commute was 75 miles round trip. Then after work usually go from san José to Palo Alto, Fremont, Cupertino for food, drinks and Oakland flea market on sundays. Then throw in some occasional road trips to Sacramento and Chico, 1 time Los Angeles. Even multiplying 75x(work days) I still don’t know how I drive so much lol. Like @ItzFilyO said It just doesn’t feel far driving in the GS
