Lol I have the same two lights on...

2006 GTi 6 speed original clutch and transmission no major issues.

Beast!

Wow - are GTIs typically this reliable?

I had to replace the water pump on my Mk6 GTI 3 times during the lease. It promptly went back at the end of the lease and will never get another VAG product again (Porsche excluded)

DD even through the winter (it's been excellent)...my wife and I commute together every day and she finds the car plenty comfortable and practical. That said, it'll be parked a lot once my Miata emerges from hibernation.

getufit · 03-19-2019, 03:58 PM

Well that makes sense. Of course you daily it. There is no reason not to.

elisiX · 03-20-2019, 03:33 AM

Yes. Drive my CS to work daily.

M3gic · 03-20-2019, 12:19 PM

Yup, these cars were meant to be daily driven.

JoeFromPA · 03-20-2019, 02:47 PM

4.5 years of daily driving my m3, including all winter. 60k miles.

Yes, it was made to be a daily driver.

jdgamble · 03-20-2019, 05:39 PM

DD... 100+ miles/day round trip commute. I don't eff around.

maizer89 · 03-21-2019, 05:03 PM

Definitely daily my m3, been doing with each gen starting with the e46. I have to say the f80 has been the best so far. No scrapping, good driving aids, and torque readily on tap!

M3anth · 03-21-2019, 05:42 PM

Just bought my first BMW. 2017 ZCP M3 with 4k miles on it. It is and will be my daily driver (6k miles/yr) after I sold my Z06 and S90. Still have an F150 for really bad weather and misc utility.

acrid0301 · 03-29-2019, 09:46 PM

DD. 40 miles. Except when its snowing to be safe.

scoobyhummel3 · 03-29-2019, 10:24 PM

Kind of dd to me

BigSky702 · 03-30-2019, 09:29 PM

DD, rain, snow ( less than 3 inches),sleet, sun!!

icegrill · 03-30-2019, 11:11 PM

Yes, it's too fun to not enjoy erryday!

Karnidge · 04-01-2019, 08:17 PM

Me too. DD + winter w/ proper shoes.

N8er · 04-02-2019, 11:09 AM

Yes, but have a 4X4 pickup for the winter months.

CigarPundit · 08-26-2019, 12:57 PM

I’ve been daily driving my M3 since I got it, but just added a Raptor to the stable and its going to share the DD duties. New toy, so the F80 will probably see less action in the near term.

McChris · 08-26-2019, 01:17 PM

Yup 40 miles each way commute 3 days a week. Just bought winter tires so I can continue during the winter. Plus some road trips. Did 1k miles in the last 7 days. Love driving this car.

rnguyennnn · 08-26-2019, 01:21 PM

Yes, 1000whp on tap. I pump every 2 days, 3 if i'm lucky. Car drives better than stock.

PhatLyfe · 08-27-2019, 01:31 PM

no, my daily driver is a Toyota Prius.. Low N Slow..
