I love my FD but I would hate to daily drive it. Its always been a project/weekend car the whole time ive owned it. At first I had a G35 coupe for a DD and then I switched to a 335i coupe for a daily. The FD is more fun to drive hands down but the Infiniti and BMW were much nicer to have as daily's. Ive always had the option to drive the FD as much as i wanted just never had the desire to.

^^ Don't take this the wrong way as I'm not a purist (basically it's your car and you can do whatever you want to it) but I gotta ask given your sig:
BLACK 93 RX7 FD new project
BLACK 79 CAMARO Z28 W/383 STROKER project complete!!
BLACK 82 EL CAMINO SS BUILT 350 project complete!!
BLACK 2012 CAMARO. DD
So basically all of your cars are/gonna be V8's? Whats the point??? It's like being a chef and cooking the same thing everyday except the only variation is the sauce.

Anyone who daily drives an FD does not:
- Care about fuel economy
- Play golf
- Play hockey / bicycling / ski / surf / etc..
- Take home two girls at once.
Personally I'd rather daily drive my F-250 diesel than daily the FD. I suppose it would help if I fit in an FD a little better, but even with that I'm not sure.

Haha you must be hauling a lot of stuff around, I carry a laptop for work every day and the FD never run out of room, I have my MX-6 as daily but the trunk and backseat are always empty, there's nothing else in my car other than a couple bottles of water.

FD as current DD for past 2-3 months, since my Honda busted a timing belt...
The hardest thing to carry so far
1. full set of rims/tires,
2. Big enough wallet for fuel...
Other then that, I don't mind it... Its kinda 'nice' getting those looks everyone in a while... People staring while going down the hi-way... So I start to play with the pop ups... Lol

I've been dailying my RX-7 for about 6 months now
alot of the problems its had have been because of Mods i've done , to make it go faster .. LOL
and other electrical issues. But mostly the car itself has been good.
And Like was stated before... MAKE SURE YOU HAVE Access to a SPARE CAR to Go to work / parts store.

I wouldn't DD mine when it's finished here in Richmond. Roads suck, and drivers suck more! I would be afraid all the money would end up sticking out of the front bumper of a sable driven by a q-tip. I will just drive my miata!!

I started this thread a few years ago wondering if it would be a good idea to DD an FD before I even owned one. Well, here I am almost three years later DDing my FD. :P No I don't recommend it. I hate worrying about getting it running by Monday if I tear into Friday. I hate climbing in and out of it for short trips. It's impractical and doesn't have enough room. It has terrible gas mileage and the seats are uncomfortable. I don't park it anywhere near anyone for fear of getting door dinged. All this, but man....I LOVE my rx7. It's been dead reliable to me. It's never left me stranded and starts right up every morning. It's all in how you take care of it.
