What's your daily driver and how does it compare to your Z?

Lemkey99 · 10-01-2016, 07:17 PM

Mine is a 2011 Mazda3 touring, 48k miles. Bought it brand new and have owned it for 5 years now. It's a decent little car and I like the reliability and low cost of maintenance. It's only 140hp so compared to my Z it's obviously very underwhelming but I'm still happy that I have it and it gets me from point a to b. Just curious what some of the other members have as their dd and how it compares to their Z.

Usually my daily is the 370 unless either:
A: it's snowing
B: I really don't feel like taking it for whatever reason.

In either case, it's a 1998 4-banger Camry that's slower than terri schiavo

2009 Honda Ridgeline RTS. Obviously no comparison, but I didn't buy the Z to be practical, just a blast to drive.

My daily was a 2000 accord but at around 215k oil leaks got annoying so I gave it to my brother. Got a 2014 used Nissan sentra with 9k. Slow as crap but blends in with traffic, reliable, $16 to fill up and great on gas so I can't complain.

2015 Sentra, got it new. Gets me to and from work just fine, gets great gas mileage, but I love the weekends when I can take out the Z

My DD is a salvage title Grand Cherokee WJ that I originally got as a winter beater. It was a total piece of sh*t when I got it but it's respectable now.

Custom paint, bedliner, cut wheel wells, 4" Rough Country long arm lift, 32" tires, auxiliary LEDs, 3.73, 0.030 overbore, 505 Performance stage II head, Comp cam, Rugged Ridge header, CAI, Racetech 9.5:1, 2.5" pipe, Flowmaster 40.

More to come: bigger throttle body, upgraded injectors, roof-mount light bar, roof rack for a spare wheel, rock sliders, front push bar, mount for my 4' jack, rear swing gate for 2nd spare wheel and 5gal can of gas.

Modded GTI. Thing is a rocket and blast to drive actually.

ayrton88 · 10-02-2016, 08:38 AM

The Z is pretty much my DD for 3 months of the year. I have an old Avalon that is my winter car and what I drive when I have to leave my car on the street in Wrigleyville. That neighborhood is only getting crazier...go Cubs!

night blade · 10-02-2016, 08:53 AM

My DD is below, 5 years and around 78k later it's still going strong, does what it's supposed to do, that is haul around my family and groceries.

eyeteeguy · 10-02-2016, 11:13 AM

The Z is my daily driver. Maybe because I'm in Florida, there's no snow, and I work from home. Other than snow season, why wouldn't it be everyone's DD? Just asking... It's too fun not to drive all the time.

littlejuanito · 10-02-2016, 11:40 AM

I have two DD. The main one is a 2015 Q50 Premium and the other is my good ol' 2009 VW Jetta.

Living in PA, we get snow 4-5 months per year here so I keep it garaged during that time. During the spring & summer months, I'll still only drive it 2-3 times per week and it's mainly highway driving so I can enjoy it. I won't drive it to run around town shopping, running errands, etc.

Hopefully this is finally the year for the Cubs. We'll see.
