Is your FR-S your daily driver? - Page 6 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Weekend car, turning into monthly car. Definitely not the most family oriented vehicle but I love it too much to trade it in. This car has soul.

Mine is a DD...every day, all weather. I have another car for the nice days/weekends. Funny thing...my other car is a supercharged Mustang, and the first summer I had the FR-S (2012), I don't think I put 500 miles on the Mustang. I enjoy driving the FR-S so much, the Mustang just sits there in the garage.

Can I ask what all you did to it to get it to 450hp?

Mine is my daily driver.
It's the first new car I've ever bought brand new. I think I may make it my project car after I graduate college in a year.

I wouldn't believe a word DealerFR-S says right now...

DD and will be tracked the second a new track opens here.

Too fun to park it. Just have wash it more to keep the winter grime away (and a good set of winter tires is a must).

Only when I need to clear a path.

No other RWD car's been able to help me not worry about snow like the twins have. My original plan was to wait until 2nd qtr of 2014 to buy one but if a deal comes along, I wouldn't hesitate now.

Dadhawk · 12-29-2013, 06:02 PM

DD for me, but I then wouldn't own a car I wasn't willing to drive daily. As @Mikem53 life is too short...plus its not exactly like its a rare/exotic car. I suppose if I turned it into a track beast I wouldn't want to drive it daily.

Since purchase in 5/2012 I've averaged 54 miles per day in the F-RS and loved every minute of it.

I do have Suburban for the family hauls/extreme weather days, but I would only use it for my commute if the roads were icy/bad.

I do intend to buy a new 2-wheeler sometime in 2014, which would split duty with the FR-S.

Touge_ninja · 12-29-2013, 07:02 PM

DD duty for mine and ill say this. Its a blast

Captain Stall · 12-30-2013, 12:43 AM

Year round DD for me -- only car I own, but I also have a motorcycle, which was shamefully ignored last summer due to new car goodness.

BobRickel · 12-30-2013, 09:19 AM

Daily driver for me. It's either the FRS or my Porsche 928 and the FRS gets twice the gas mileage.
