My F is my daily but I only drive like three days a week and then only about 60 miles roundtrip.

Mine was for a little less than 2 years, but now that I have a pickup truck (Titan) I drive that about half the time. I like having both, even though I easily could've continued daily driving the F. I only have 36K miles on my '09 and keep in garaged when I'm not driving it, so hopefully I'm keeping the resale high in the event I decide to get an RCF down the road.

My F is the weekend/roadtrip car. Thinking about trading for a Panamera next year so trying to keep the miles low as possible.
Great seeing DD ISFs knowing that reliablity.

I drive my F every time I go out, unless I'm shopping for something large or messy, then I take the Honda Fit.

Mine is definitely my DD. I couldn't imagine keeping a car that is such a blast to drive parked in a garage all the time.

Yes I drive it everyday. I don't even take loaners for work trips. To much fun to not drive it.

Every day. It's hard for me to wrap my head around the idea of a 4 door as a weekend only vehicle. I have the corvette for that now. (will be gone soon) And am planning on an old 911 or muscle car as a weekend vehicle once I get a personal garage.

My trip to work is short and with traffic I don't get to enjoy driving it like I want to. Monday - Thursday I drive the Focus. Friday - Sunday is all F time. I'm thinking about trading the Focus for a manual beater, I miss banging through a 5 speed gearbox.

I have a 3/4 ton Dodge Truck that I drive if I need to haul anything. Otherwise, the F is my DD. It's 90 miles a day round trip to work everyday so I get some driving time. It's a 2013 and has 10K miles on it right now. I'll start swapping up vehicles for the work drive after I get about 70K on it.

If I'm driving anything, I want it to be my F.

As much as I want to keep it in the garage for most of the time, the temptation to drive it is just too strong everyday. Semi-daily for me

I've been thinking about it and the best way I can describe not using the ISF as a daily driver is........it's like having a supermodel as a wife but never having sex with her!!!!

It just doesn't make sense! ;-)

Amen. Sports cars (and sedans) are meant to be driven.

Daily for me is a 10-mile round trip...not much of a daily ride.

The rcF will also be driven 10 miles daily, except in the bad weather. Then I roll out the RX.

Got you beat. My commute is exactly 1/2 mile one way. Needless to say my F is not a DD. When I have to travel I drive my '11 FJ Cruiser to the airport or train station.

9k miles in 3 years since new. I need to either drive it more or sell it
