I am awaiting mine after ordering, and curious about peoples' experiences having this car as their only ride.

i know you wanted viewpoints from only one vehicle folks, but as someone with another dd i might be able to add some insight.

the most difficult part about the twins in regards to being a daily probably isnt exactly the space. yes its small but as most folks have pointed out with seats down theres a decent amount of room. the actual thing that you have to be okay with is this: it starts off as a car thats 'on knife's edge', direction changes and the buffering of the suspension are very immediate and very upfront. and once you start to mod it only get 'twitchier' in handling, steering or power - however you decide to go.

and this all is wonderful on your pleasurable drives, on country roads, or canyon roads or hell, even on highway ramps. but most peoples everyday drive includes grooved pavement, slow and crowded highways with expansion joints and lots of other things that start to feel more chore than fun. ditto with the sounds, great if youre driving for fun and want to hear and feel everything but it gets a little loud when youre just trying to get to work for 45 mins.

if you can deal with a rougher ride with more noise than a luxury car or even most econoboxes would emit, are ok with having to really pay attention during your whole drive through that and dont need to get directly into the backseat often (aka kids or dogs) then its doable. but if you have the option to drive anything else to get those boring miles out of the way you appreciate what it brings to the table even more.
