I daily drive mine, drift it, etc etc, and it holds up well, has no problems, runs like a champ. Just needs proper and timely maintenance.

Mine is a daily driver to school and work, however at school I park in between two friends (no door dings), and at work I park in the back of the lot.

As of the last 2 years, I too have been driving my rx7 daily. Its been turbocharged the last 7 months though, and as of late been getting 18-20mpg mixed driving... Gonna get another car to drive daily in the near future though.

Mines is a daily driver also, my only car right now.. I'm probably going to buy a car with good MPG after I swap a turbocharged engine in my car though.

Daily driver as well. Have had the car 3 years and has been trouble free, until the pulse dampiner started leaking fuel. Having to drive the 5 till the 7 gets fixed. Take very good care of the car, but also push it hard sometimes.

I do. It's as reliable as any other car of it's age (21 years for me). Normally I baby it considering I don't have a back-up vehicle.

My '90 NA is my daily driver. Very dependable. My '88 turbo is my weekend track car and I feed it Mustangs, Vettes and Hondas for breakfast, with a side dish of BMWs.
