Do you have daily drive car?
Was thinking about get a Daily Driver soon. Wanted to see what some of you guys have and maybe what to check out. I looked into a Nissan 300zx or a Dodge Dart.

That's what makes the GT86 so neat. :-)
It's a daily driver. We all wanted a Lotus Elise but cost, and/or size made it impractical.

Daily driver = FRS
Seriously.. It's a Scion, daily driver is about all it should be classified as.

![]() OP, I wouldn't really classify a 300z as a daily driver, unless you found one in pristine condition. It's more along the lines of a project car that collects rust in your driveway. |

I have a 2014 Scion FR-S that I use as my DD, along with track days, long road trips, and occasional towing. It's alright I guess.

My frs is my daily driver. If I were to get a different DD I would buy a '91 crx and do a serous restomod to it then it would switch from project to DD and my FRS would become my project.

My vote goes to the 2016 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring. That will be my next daily drive car. |

I will tell you from first hand experience to not buy a 300zx as a daily driver. You will end up spending more money than it's worth just to keep it running.

Sometimes I don't like all the attention our cars get, particularly with the younger crowd of degenerates who want to destroy or ruin any nice thing they look at. Hence why I think the SS is perfect. |

It still draws attention, the majority of which being stares and rubbernecking when people hear it (stock exhaust is silly good for a stock sedan). The blue unfortunately gives up a solid bit of the sleeper status the car has. Mostly though the questions are so is that a malibu/impala? |
