Default IS F as your daily driver?

Coming closer and closer to pulling the trigger on an IS F. I work from home 3 days a week. Commute 20 miles each way the other days in atlanta traffic. Are you using your IS F as your daily driver? Any regrets if you are? This would be my only car.

I think most of us use our Fs as a daily driver, its a very reliable car. I know a few people on here even put snow tires on it and use it through winter. I probably put 40-50 miles on mine a day, no regrets whatsoever.

No regrets. I throw winter tires on around Thanksgiving usually.

It's my daily driver is SoCal. 27 miles each way. Gas mileage is not great (averaging 22 mpg in mostly highway driving) but you know that. It's great having a very reliable car that also has great performance.

I drive my F to work everyday. Rain, snow, or shine. I do 100km (or 62 miles) a week so my gas bills are acceptable.

Mine is currently my only means of transportation. I bought mine already lowered, loud, and on big wheels, so in my case it certainly isn't as comfortable as I'm used to being. Other than being terrified of scraping the front lip on most moderate bumps all the time though, it's been good to me. Biggest problems are the bad gas mileage and a subconscious fear of putting too many miles on such a rare car.

I drive mine daily with no problems. However, I only work 5 miles from home and about 4 days a week so I only put ~40 miles a week on her... lol.

My IS-F is tightly enclosed in one of the inflatable bubbles...Just kidding!! Why buy a car and not drive it? Socal daily driver and proud of it. I love its exclusiveness and I spot another IS-F on the road there's always a mutual respect and acknowledgement.
