Will the BRZ be your daily driver
 
Are you planning on using the BRZ as your daily driver? If so, tell us what area of the country you live, I'm sure some of us are curious if there are others planning to drive this year round in some of the snowy parts of the US!

Yes, DC area, not much snow the past couple years. I'll drive my Impreza if/when it does snow.

BMWDavid 05-22-2012 10:35 AM

Nope, just weekend driving fun.

Mitchs_86 05-22-2012 10:43 AM

yes it will be driven daily, (ha it hasn't snowed down here in years)

I'll be driving around New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and Madisonville... hoping to be the only DGM in the area with an under spoiler... personalized plate will read "SCHEIBE"

I'll drive the car frequently enough, but it's not going to be an everyday commuter car. I've got an old Honda that will serve for a while longer.

The BRZ will be too special to me to drive every day... at least at first.. I would cringe about door dings and putting tons of miles on the car just to get to work and let it sit in the parking lot. Plus, I won't be driving a rwd car in the winter unless we have some really nice warm days (like most of this past winter).

So the BRZ is going to be for weekend/evening enjoyment, autocross, car shows/meets, some non-family trips (due to space limitations), etc..

Daily driver baby. I have 99 RS right now so as soon as I get a BRZ I want to set the RS up for the Oregon Trail Rally

DD, year round, in New England.

Draco-REX 05-22-2012 11:36 AM

Year round DD in central OH with a trip each winter to MA and back. I don't foresee any issues. But worst-case, I'll pick up a cheap Impreza for snow slogging. However, I lived in New England before moving out here and I spent 9 winters with RWD cars. So I don't think I'll need another car.

Car will be used as Weekend Warrior and when I just don't feel like driving the STI. STI will be the main DD and exclusive car in the Winter here in SW Michigan.

ubersoph 05-22-2012 11:52 AM

Yep, and it's going to get winter driven. Hard :)

groucho 05-22-2012 12:01 PM

Daily, and I will be ordering some winter wheels and tires later this year... same as I've done with the STI.

Jay Grey 05-22-2012 12:19 PM

Daily Driver? Possible! If I sell my FWD 06 Scion tC. I'm thinking bout keeping it though for those snow & rainy days in New Jersey, being thats its paid off. And keep the BRZ in the garage when I get my new place.

Indestruct 05-22-2012 12:22 PM

yes! this isn't a fancy car... mine is going to get dings, dents, and be parked on the street 100% of the time. But I'm in SoCal.

Lighting Red 05-22-2012 12:26 PM

When I am not on the bike, the Breezy will be the DD. That's the point of this car, and that's the best way to honor the engineers and testers who put the time in ensuring the car is rugged enough for the task. I will enjoy the hell out of the car, all year :)
