Who's got the most extreme daily



  Land Rover
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

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.

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

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...

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.

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.
