Noob here! I just got my first Lexus for the particular reason that I wanted to use it as a Daily Driver. I retired my e46 M3 from the daily grind...and man I wish i did it sooner! My weekend car is a fast Mustang Cobra

I bought mine to daily drive it. I was splitting time between a Porsche 911 and an Infiniti g35. Quite frankly wasn't driving 911 enough, and wanted something with ***** but still refined. That's how I ended up daily driving the F, and I love it. No regrets going back to one very versatile car.

Wow! Awesome replies...and lobuxracer 156K miles...dude RESPECT!
Look I agree that the ISF is a great daily driver...part luxury / part race car...but I want to have fun doing mods to mine (not always sending it to someone to do because I can't be without a driver) and want my ISF to be around for a looooooooong time as I am huge fan...
Also my daily commute is 60 miles and the miles would add up quick...so I am going to lease a 2014 IS250 (better gas mileage) and start doing a "build" on Matador (what I call my ISF). I know I will miss all my "kills" during my daily drive but I plan to enjoy the "build" and the weekends will be a friggin BLAST!

My drive to work is about 18 miles roundtrip... But I don't drive it everyday because I want to keep the mikes low and I purchased it only to have as a weekend toy.
I will admit that I would like to drive it everyday to work but I am not yet ready to sell my dd.

great car in all conditions, unless there's a foot of snow, then I car pool with my better half in the suv!

Daily driver for me. 60 miles in rain or shine, actually it's been more freaking snow and ice than anything the last 4 months.
Car is a champ, goes through the snow with ease and fires up with no problem on coldest days.
Fantastic car!

Another DD here and can I just say that I love that the majority of owners are also driving them, if not daily, the majority of the time As so many of you have stated, that's what I bought it for!!! That being said, not hating on those that choose to admire/enjoy theirs parked or "shelf'd" in their garage or driveway. While its not for me when it comes to this car I certainly understand that side of ownership and at the end of the day that's one thing we all have in common - proud owners!!!

Not my DD, even though I know it could be. If it was, I know I'd get bored of it since it's auto, and I love rowing through gears. That's what i have my Integra for. With that said the F is a blast drive and isn't solely a weekend car, and is far from a garage queen. I'll take it out a few days a week, but never in the rain or snow. It just isn't fun to drive when there's precipitation.
If I was in Cali or other areas where it never snows, I'd love to DD an s2k and still have the F. But it's just not practical to have 2 RWD cars in the Northeast.
