Mine is a DD, wouldnt really have it any other way. I live pretty close to work, so I really dont get to drive her as much as I would like to. And for practicality, I easily fit 200 bucks worth of groceries in the back.

Yep, I just alternate every other day with the Max on the commute. Sometimes I do swap them out once I get home if I need to go some place else although on there supposed day off.

My Z is my daily driver as well.

No - I commute in a used 2006 Saturn Ion. Drive the Z sometimes to work, but only when the weather is dry :tup:

Daily driver 60+ miles daily no issues.

The Z is my only car, though my work commute is relatively tame. 5.5 miles in medium traffic. Love driving the car to and from work and anywhere else!

Unfortunately my commute is really beginning to make me look at the Z in a negative light. The last two days I've endured 2+ hour commutes (one way) in severe stop and go traffic. I think if I had a 7AT it'd be fine, but the 6MT is just terrible when you're in gridlock for 2 hours at a time.

If I could make the numbers work I'd probably be in an Audi A5 right now, unfortunately. I love the Z, but with the 6MT it doesn't make a great daily driver in my current situation. If I lived out in the country I'd love it!

The 370Z was orignally going to be my weekend car but I ended up daily driving it almost everyday.

90 miles round trip each day. Honestly, it's what I look forward to every morning when I wake up and count the minutes till I come home. The hour drive in my 370Z to and back from work. My commute has no traffic, its just a 2 lane semi-curvy road, beautiful scenery, downshifting and hearing that engine rev-match around every curve is the highlight of my day.

The 335i is fantastic car to commute with but with the automatic and paddle shifters, it just doesn't offer any enjoyment in the drive at all.

Daily Driver! :driving:

Daily Driver here... although I'm thinking about getting an old beater pickup for the winter time and storing the Z for more harsh winter stuff.

chuckd05 06-10-2010 12:06 PM

its my daily driver but I have a second car in case of snow or when I have to go to the train station and leave the car there...

Anatoray 06-10-2010 12:08 PM

I use mine as my daily driver to and from work, about 38 miles a day as well as roadtrips to visit my parents 400 miles away with no issues whatsoever.
