used mine as a daily drive for the past 9 years a T reg and now an 05 reg, luckily the 15-100 miles i did every day were paid back in fuel allowance :-) many others made money by having something economical but i enjoyed driving and it covered my costs so i was happy. Now only do about 8miles for work a day! so economny not an issue.

Would love to drive mine to work and back everyday but sadly it would break the bank!

But i still drive it at least 5 times a week.

The Mrs uses our 99 UK Classic as a daily drive. She don't go far, drops the nippers at nursery, pops to the shops or her mates house. It's only done about 2000mile in 6 months! upto 48k now.....lol

Used my last 3 as daily drives, including my current MY07 RB320!

Approx 8k miles per year, with almost eight years and enjoy every day.

I've used my 93 WRX as a daily drive for the last 9 1/2 years. I've averaged over 15,000 miles a year in that time - probably several Shell tankers worth of SUL!

Quite often travel to places across the country on business, but work insist I use a hire car in most circumstances - I'd much rather take the scoob!
