I love it as a daily driver and fuel consumption isn't the worst for the performance and obviously if you put the foot down you will see the needle drop. I just can't get enough of it and I drive it everywhere. Just keep an eye on your oil and coolant and get it serviced, the only problem I find is the volume of traffic in Dublin and the fury of not being able to let it out but that can't be helped

yeah thats true i used to use mine for work every day but the runing off it was costing me way to much
i find that you enjoy it more when you just drive it the weekends

I loved driving mine until the engine decided to turn itself into a sauna but its near back on the road and will be better than ever. way rather the rx to the jeep and depends on mood if i rather it over the cossie. It being a bugger on fuel makes no odd's cause its bugger all heavier than the jeep

I use mine as a daily driver, I love it, puts a smile on my face everyday
You know what they say a redline a day keeps the rebuild away
If I need a practical car I get a loan of my mams jeep or the Mrs car...

OOhh how i remember this, i used to live in dublin 20 and the road past phoenix park every morning was the sh!ts.
I used to do it in my civic eg6 and it was hell so cannot imagine cooking my fd in that traffic.

Lots of people use them as daily drivers, but the mielage isn't great.
I don't use mine as a daily driver because I dont' see the point in wasting a good car sitting in traffic. She was meant for better!
