I would say the R8, the R35, any non-GT Porsche, Gallardo, any Maserati...

In the "new" generation of DD supercars with 4 doors that I want to see on the road - Aston Martin Rapide, Porsche Panamera.

The Evora, too, though it's a 2-seater at best.

You can pretty much daily drive anything although where you live makes somewhat of a difference. A drop top or fast rear wheel drive car sucks in the rain and it rains a lot here. Of course, most of the exotics these days have a full traction control system to deal with the bad weather. You could also decide to drive slowly but might be hard if you have a heavy right foot by nature.

Most of today's supercars you can drive everyday. My uncle drives his 430 everyday that it's not raining. I was driving a gallardo for a few months last fall and it was super easy to drive. Wst6a could probably comment on the Muci since it's a different car altogether but I'm sure he'd say the same thing.

The biggest reason people don't drive supercars everyday is because it's not their only car. It's usually one of 2 or 3 cars they have. If you're looking for something quiet, comfy, roomy for groceries or whatever, driving a supercar is a pain in the ass.

The other issue is the asshole that have no respect for other people's property. Door dings etc. One time I took the gallardo to get a coffee at tim hortons and when I got back out, some asswipe left a shopping cart right next to my car. I had to move it before I could leave.

I don't know about other people but it feels weird going to do some things in an exotic. Going to Walmart in a lambo to pick up a vollyball just felt messed up.

Good daily driver supercars are not important anymore since all the big cars have crazy engines now. M5, S65, Porsche Panarama, etc. Best of both worlds although I'd rather buy a car for fun and a car for comfy everyday use for work. Being in traffic is a factor as well.

I don't get the point of this post. Are you suggesting that because some nerds on a forum in a place really far away from where he is think he should get a different car that, therefore, he should sell his recently acquired Maserati and buy something else that someone whom he has never seen once in his life suggests that he should rather be driving?

Like, are you for real, man?

hmm, I think the W204 engine bay will not be able to fit the V12TT engine at most it can do is a V8 and someone can rear mount the turbos.

almost any mid-engine car is useless for DD, not enough storage room

at least with the 911s you get the back seats to put stuff in, the maserati 2+2 isn't that much different from the porsche in terms of layout, it's just preference

I think it depends on the driver if a car is suitable to be used as a DD or not. Some people are more tolerable for the stiffer suspension, uncomfortable ride, smaller space, and poor performance in the wet, and some aren't. DDing a sports car will be more stressful for the driver as its tires are usually lower in profile and the ride clearance is usually lower.
There are those that can't even stand driving a 6 series as a DD and there are those who wouldn't mind driving a F430 Scuderia as a DD, so I really think it depends on the driver.

The 997 turbo S with PDK will be quite sweet for HK. Car and Driver estimated 0-60 in less than 3 seconds:

If you have 200 bones to drop and want a DD I'd go this route;


180 bones if you don't mind the demo car:

First off:

1: It's to induce a topic and a discussion.
2. Suggestions are made to be heard, if you close your mind then you're just a fumbling fool living out this world in ignorance. (not directed @ you, in general. AKA the first guy who replied to my post.)
3. Doesn't mean now, future decisions can be made from what was heard earlier, brands/thoughts on cars. Not everything has to be in the moment.

I'm pretty sure if someone suggested something to you in the past, but had no use for it in the present but then in the near future, it came up and "hey this was suggested to me previously, i'll go check it out."

Suggestions aren't "MUST BUYS" if thats the case, Vancouver would have 50,000+ GTRS based on RS membership and how much love or hate and talk about the car, however you like to look at it.

Seeing that i'm replying too an offtopic now -might as well to the newb S60R, seeing you're jealous and hateful, stfu out of my thread or RS for that fact. Make stupid comments/shit up and get banned.

it would have to have little problems getting over speed bumps to be a daily driver.
if you're going to drive it to the grocery store and back it needs to have a reasonable amount of space.
maybe not enough to carry golf clubs but definitely enough for shopping, etc...
