My car's the SC and it's great when there are no kids in the house. It can easily be used as a daily driver. My wife has an Acura SUV which we use for bulky items and hauling 2+ passengers.

Daily driver for both me and my wife.. (ever since having a baby).

We have both a RX400h and a SC430 and the RX used to be her car but now it needs to stay home with whoever is with the baby.

I work days and she works nights.. so now the SC is driven both daily and nightly.. breaks my heart.

My sc is my daily driver. I commute about 75 miles a day and its just fine.

I've actually put a set of 4 20" rims/tires in my car before. 2 in the back seat, 1 in the trunk, and the other in the front seat.

Yep, count me in as using the SC430 as a daily driver. I've had my '08 for 18 months and I have 21,000 miles on it. There's room in the trunk for a Costco run so it works for me.

On the few occasions that I needed something larger I borrowed a friend's pick up or SUV.

^^^ +1 lol, I once bought a Japanese Maple Tree from Home Depot and didn't want to put it in my FX (it was brand new) and didn't want to lay it down, so I dropped the top in the SC and stood that sucker up like it was my passenger and cruised home!!! Luckily HD is only 5 miles away!

Great thread azkaty.
My SC430 is my daily driver, but my wife does have a Camry if we need to carry something that the SC won't. I finally got rid of my pickup after having the SC for a year so now we use the Camry as our pickup or ask our friends with pickups. I miss having a pickup but not enough to swap out with the SC!

Cool And the next thread will be..

Hopefully not! How many people had their SC break down when they were bringing it home!!

I am driving my SC home from the dealer today..mid day at work..

If I do not go back to work..it could be a problem with the boss!

Mine's a daily. To work, to school, to nightlife, etc.
I'm in Los Angeles, CA, so the weather is never too harsh for it.
