Who's got the most extreme daily

[Landyman]

I used my clio as a daily for 4 years, they are ok but the clutch is horrendous in traffic.

Not if you put a new clutch in. My 182 was the same, my missus commuted in it and l don’t know how she did it.
After fitting a new clutch the car is transformed.

Clios have always been my daily’s when I’ve had them. I don’t class them as a bad daily.

My current 360 daily for example does not have: central locking, remote locking, air con, climate control, cruise control, a radio, xenon head lights, auto lights, auto windscreen wipers, leather/alcantara seats.

When you look at it that way, compared to a Clio I could be in an extreme daily!

Far more comfortable than a Clio

9 years in May since I’ve had the 172 as a daily. My commute is tiny but most of miles are done with a bike or two on the roof at the weekend. Let’s just say it drones a little with all that drag combined with a BTB exhaust

4 hours is the absolute limit, if I’m not agony from the seating position, I’m deaf.
Roof bars off it’s not too bad but any long journeys ideally are done in the Mrs’ car

Thats cool as!

Old Saab's have aged really well.

 

[RSRowe]

that Saab is seriously quick!!! and properly cool looking.


i used to daily my RS, but it's just easier to jump in the 197. I've reached a point where i think i just care about it too much and it's taking the enjoyment out of owning it a little.
It's just an expensive driveway ornament at the moment

The Saab was amazing to drive. Would keep a GT2 honest from a roll and looked like a real pipe n slippers car. I just couldn't keep up with maintenance so gave up and got rid. Every drive such an event though. Back in the real world the ph1 is a fantastic daily. RS looks immaculate, know what you mean turbo cars deserve long journeys and a warm down before turning off so not as good at short journeys.

 

[DrAlex]

Some awesome cars on here. Makes the clio look tame.

 

[Coops Mk1]

Mega motors, I've dailied my 182 for 6.5 years now and although I've had a saab aero for few months during that and keep looking again at them, I intend to see the clio past 200k before I retire it. About another 10 months to go to hit that mark

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Sometimes I don't put my heated seats on.

Don't want any of the dots falling off now !

 

[mossyv6]

My old sunflower was pretty extreme for a daily.

Stupidly loud, droning exhaust & way too low for speed bumps etc.

Air con delete in the hottest summer I can remember [emoji23]

Is it your old Sunflower for sale on ebay mate?

 

[andybond]

6k miles / yr in this as my daily.

 

[Feirny]

I did 14,500 miles in 9 months in this, which had Nitron suspension, short ratio box and a decat and it was extreme.

 

[TRB182]

Being a dci extreme surely I win?

 

[ShaunFlucker]

I did daily this before my new work gave me a van

6.1 Hemi V8

 

[Kosy]

Last 5 months I've been doing a daily 110 mile round trip in 172 Cup.....
Love it.

 

[nebraska182]

I use my remapped R26 as a daily,which is probably not ideal with the stiff suspension and you just want to drive it fast all the time. Mind you,i dont how people can afford to have two cars...

 

[Chambers_RS]

This mine.

Too much power for fwd with no diff and currently standard slipping clutch.

 

[Sj1782]

I bet this would be a laugh as a daily

Go dry your eyes.

[andybond]

That was my daily before my current daily.

People need to try harder

 

[DoubleTime]

at the moment I have a E46 M3 and a E46 320d. I work from home so my daily is mostly my feet.

I did have a 205 gti between 2007 and 2009 and used it every day including going to all my site meetings.

funnily enough I ran a mk1 golf gti as a daily around the same time.

Think I was running a 306 on veg with a blown headgasket.

To be fair it was pretty extreme running that in sub-zero winter temperatures with no heater.

 

[DomP182]

Caddy- extremely boring!

 

[M.C..]

This is my daily do about 56 miles a day in it.

 

[youngarthur]

Meg Clio 320/340, does Tesco and track days.

Clearly never been to Rotherham then, they'd steal the snot out of your tissue.

Rear window blanks hide the v8 in the back I take it?

Usually just hides my 3 year old rolling about in the back as the car seat is in my car

 

[David Ramsey]

Up until I got another Clio I was using a Supercharged V8 Range Rover as my daily. 16mpg around town meant I needed something more economical for my longer commute now.

It’s a big change swapping between the RR and a 1.2 Clio.
