I would be daliy drive from two reasons.
1: its too sweet of a ride to just play with every now and then.
and 2: I dont make enough money to own two cars so I dont have a choice haha!

It'll be my daily driver.
It's not hardcore/impractical enough to be weekend only, and it isn't a showcar garage queen.

Considering I work from home, it's a "whenever I feel like taking it out" toy.

Can we get a lock on this one? Just bump the current one we already have if you want to continue this discussion.

What purpose will the FR-S serve to you?

To everyone considering this as a daily - I test drove a premium AT BRZ yesterday and was surprised by the harshness on normal roads ... I'm second guessing my pre-order actually.

Basically:
1. Great on super smooth pavement
2. Lots of vibration on normal roads
3. Great on potholes and train tracks

Also, the steering feedback is odd. It is definitely weighty, but it doesn't provide the variable pressure feedback you'd expect - for example, if you're turning hard in a corner vs. cornering gently, it all has the same level of resistance. The steering force seems somewhat separated from the actual forces you'd expect with a normal power steering system.
