Garage
I bought a low mileage 1999 two months ago as my daily driver. The storage space is great for hauling things around, and it drives great. I've had in the shop for the past 3.5 weeks due to some unforeseen problems but while I have had it it has been very practical. I am 6' and I fit in it fine, but I like to have my seat forward a bit so I push the clutch in all the way.
The only daily driver dilemma's are the soft top and milage (depends). If your going 85 on the freeway everyday the soft top might get annoying and when it rains you need to make sure your top has been waterproofed. I hard top would be practical to if it snows in your area. If you do a lot of around town driving you will only get 19-20 on premium. But at a 50 mile commute you're probably on the freeway and will average 26+ mpg, which is as good as most cars.
Hope this Helps!
