Wow, it seems like over half of the vehicles listed as a "Dream Daily Driver" definately have the "DREAM" part down, but don't quite get the "DAILY DRIVER" part. Either that or we're a bunch of poor decision makers here. These are mostly DREAM CARS -period.
How many of the cars listed so far will perform just dandy in the rain, or better yet, snow and ice? (Daily) And as deliriousga said, who wants a car the WILL be in the shop (AND for a while) as theirown. Shouldn't that be factored in when 50miles/day is the minimum? (Daily) And let's not forget about comfort. Some of these cars don't even have AC or stereos to go with their rigid seats! (I can manage fine without a radio, but no AC? That doesn't fly here in Texas) And I'm sure over time, EVERYBODY drooling over your car would get old. (It's nice, but after a while...) And lastly, parking! I feel a bit nervous parking (i.e. door dings) my plain ol' Boxter when I go to the movies. I'd develop ulcers in NO TIME if I had some of the cars mentioned so for.
"Dream" to me, is just an easy way of saying, "excluding cost." I think it should be a car that's versitile, something that is able to easily rack up the miles. Something comfortable that won't wear on you... But admirably fast. Would you still choose the car you've choosen?
