There are two types of Daily Drivers:
1) Those who drive theirs daily, by choice, but have other options in case they need to haul passengers, 'stuff', or if the weather is bad, or if they just need a break. In other words, these are 'Yeah, but...' daily drivers that choose to drive them daily, but have options when it doesn't fit a particular need.
2) Then there are the TRUE daily drivers who, because it is their only car, MUST drive them daily, and must make do with it no matter what the trip is for. Snow? Rain? Lotus. Hauling something frome Home Depot? Lotus. Picking up date and both dressed for a formal affair? Lotus. Major grocery shopping trip? Lotus. Gotta take the Lotus wherever you go, so you have to live with the parking arrangements at destination, 'cause you have no other choice? Lotus.
A couple have posted in this thread that it's their only car. I know for a fact Maggie truly uses hers as a daily driver, and can give you ALL the good/bad/reality of it.
If you are considering it as DD # 2 above, a TRUE daily driver, ask yourself: If you HAD to make do with a big go kart with a body on it. A TRUE go kart with all that involves...noise, size, comfort, more noise, lack of usable space, etc. etc....COULD you do it, and would you WANT to?
Really, think of a typical day/weekend for you...imagine doing everything in a go kart. How does that appeal to you?
