What's your daily driver/beater?

guarnibl · 04-04-2015, 07:14 PM

I daily a '15 Prius. I had a '10 Prius before.

My weekend car is a Porsche 911 Turbo S... but I miss manual, so looking to eventually get back into an M car (almost an M6'd but backed out last second). I have a Wrangler, but it's basically used as a buggy (going through an engine swap here shortly).

That applies to me too when I get mine. I do a lot of business travelling and work from home a lot too. My 335 is 2 years old, and has only 13k miles on it. So I really don't drive that much anyway.

Plus, I won't even put snow tires on mine. In the winter, I'll just drive my wife's SUV. She's a stay at home and doesn't work anyway, so that's always available to me.

I think the brakes could use a small upgrade, and I'm thinking winter rubber is a must for it, but otherwise it is a great dd.

2014 Evo X! Gas mileage sucks balls.

08 WRX Wagon... I'm a turbo whore

jeremicium · 04-05-2015, 08:42 PM

Currently 09 E92 335. When I sell it to make room for the M3 i'll be daily driving my 00 4runner and 01 S2000. It's going to be a long few months.

BMWCAT · 04-05-2015, 09:52 PM

E39 M5 as DD right now... Not exactly cheap to run lol but oh my god is it worth it!
Soon to become a garaged/weekend baby when M3 arrives!

Amen. Can't believe a 2 liter 4 cyl gets 14-18mpg lol

mpbruin108 · 04-05-2015, 11:05 PM

For local drives (less than 20 miles or so one way) I take the Fiat 500e (electric). For hauling my bike or surfboard I take the Santa Fe. For nights on the town with lots of people (family), I take the Panamera or S class. For just a sweet fun drive to a nice place for just 2, I take the i8. M is my canyon drives and cruising the beach car. =)

85% of the time, it's the Santa Fe or the Fiat though. haha

I have a 50 mile round-trip daily. After my lease is up on it I am going green for sure lol.

Falafel Combo · 04-06-2015, 03:42 AM

The M3 is my daily driver, but it hardly qualifies as a beater.

The Kia Sportage I got from Enterprise and was driving while waiting for the M3 to arrive ... Yeah, that was a beater! (sorry Enterprise!!!)

Onewheeldrive · 04-06-2015, 04:03 PM

My M4 is my daily driver, but on the weekends I romp around in the desert or the coastline of Baja California in my expedition-ready Tacoma. Put that winch to good use over the weekend at the Corral Canyon OHV area!

I've got the Blizzak WS80 on the Subie and it's wonderful on snow. Up here, we get a lot of snow and it never got stuck or even spinned once. Yes your problem are the tyres, get some good winter rubber and love the snow

Yup, will get new tire/wheel pkg sometime during this summer or fall. What are the wheel specs / tire specs you run w/ the WS80's? Are you using the factory 16" wheels?

Thanks for the input - my Infiniti G was more sure-footed in the winter we had than the Forester, which surprised me - it wasn't a good weather winter here in NJ/NY. I had to believe the tires at fault, but wasn't driving it much at all this winter so didn't buy a cold weather pkg and figured I would look into it this year.

Tisaksen · 04-06-2015, 06:52 PM

2015 mini cooper 6 speed. Insanely fun car and averages 40 mpg.

gtman · 04-06-2015, 07:28 PM

I don't really have a daily driver I just drive whatever I'm in the mood to drive

I got 225s on 17 inch rims for winter. For summer I use the factory 18s, seems to work great.

Got to ask about your cars. Why three with the same 6.2L engine? Why the 2008 Boxster, 328i and C350? They seem a little out of place with the others
