just got my FD and using as a daily, only cons so far while owning it would be the gas mileage and difficulty getting into driveways/ going over bumps

Jeb

I love the snow in my fc! I save tires

I drive my FD daliy talk about gas hog haha. not bad

BigRedX

i would def. not use a rx7 for a daily you get bad gas mileage and if you get on it on the way to work or school you will most likely burn threw your oil as well so its not really a good idea in my oppionion

ssonsk

how much oil do you put when you premix?

I Daily my FD....... Supermarket.... Target.... bestbuy.....
Drove it North Carolina (13hrs) and just drove to maine (8hrs) a few months ago.
I even take it to work sometimes downtown (Manhattan).

I really dont care or look at my gas so thats not really a con for me....

I guess It all depends on location.... for me its my only car so I have to drive it...
but living in New york is helpful because I take the Bus and train's to work.

Here's some pics from me taking it to the supermarket.







Pro's:
You get to show off and enjoy the car for what it was made for......... to Drive...

Cons:
Parts start to wear and tear alot faster. And if your a cleaning nut like I am, Its very hard to keep the paint spotless.

I DD my S4 N/A for 5 years until I wrecked it... On average I got about 20mpg's on the highway/city... And thats still playing with it.. I DD my 10thAE-swapped 88' Vert for like 3 months... Loved driving the car every minute... Hated the MPG's... I think I honestly got around 13-15 mpg in that car... And I had an issue with speedbumps in that car as well... And animals in the road.. You just dont know how many times I have had to put my Vert on a lift and brakekleen animal blood of my oil pan....

nevertolow

drive mine every day. realy its just a pain in the *** to start sometimes. and it doesnt get the best gas mileage. but i love it. you could not replace my rx for another car

I daily mine to school everyday, traffic is killer needless to say in an fd and so is the gas mileage lol only 16 city. But if im going around 75-80 and maybe an occasional 4th gear pull i make 20+

+1 on getting to show off you car and why have a car in the first place if you arent gonna drive it? i mean i guess i can understand if you can afford to have multiple cars but im not there yet, still 20, college student

Branbro

i've been driving my 84 since soph or junior of high school i average 20 mpg i have had it for about 5 years now and have not done one thing to it except change the oil and done the brakes. i couldn't have asked for a better car, daily driver summer and winter driven in the snow numerous times! the snow it drives like a champ as long its not too deep... its not good on the ice i got stuck on a flat road once my wheels just spun... it was pure ice though! lol but i have chains! it leaks a little oil though but they all do just add some every now and then! GREAT car! fun to drive

I prefer to use my FD as a hobby. Let's face it, the car is a classic, and their numbers are dwindling like the members of America's 'greatest generation.' If you can, I'd cherish your 7 and look at minimizing the miles you put on it. But, make sure the miles you DO put on it are fast ones.

ssonsk

nvm i searched the premix ratio

djarbie

im looking for buying an fd as my first car.ill probably be driving it just over a mile to school every day and maybe about 10 miles during the weekend.would an fd be a good car minus the mileage?

clubaudi

i have a 302 7 and its not the best on gas but is fun on dry days...

KneeDragger85

never get stuck in snow. my 88 turbo 2 isnt my daily driver, i got caught in a small snow storm last week in nj, driving home from work sucked soo bad.. no traction at all. of all the days lol weather said just a dusting. turned into like 2 inches. i was like i shoulda just drove my truck

rotary everything!

i DD my 86 S4 n/a...
actually i currently live in it...dont have a local house but i like to travel around the country...u might be amazed at how far a car and a tent will go.
i have 2 vehicles...the other is a gillig school bus with a caterpillar diesel in it...
pros; i get to baby the **** out of it...its all i pay attention to anymore...i take great care of it

cons; price of parts...i want to replace absolutly everything with quality parts to bring it not only up to par stock but a little beyond that, but its gotta be one thing at a time which kinda sucks when it require prioritizing what to buy/replace first.

my Daily

Only had my FD for the last few days now (new FD owner), but I intend to use it daily too.

And with the current weather we're having, it's a blast!!!!!

nice fd. always liked the black and red advans. looks like the red is wearing off the front one? is that even possible?

I'd bet the vast majority who had to rely on an FD as their only way to get them to and from school and/or work...don't own them anymore. But a search is your friend, read and decide for yourself....

I have my 99 Accord and a 2005 RX8. I use them both. The 8 goes out when it's good weather and clean roads and not too long of a trip but not a super short one either. When I'm going to a shithole place, I take the Accord and pray someone steals it. When I have a long trip, I take the Accord for the great gas mileage. If the weather sucks, I take the Accord. I totally baby the 8, but only because I have a choice of what to drive.

theelemur

That is me as well. You should see the interior gymnastics after an Ikea run

Pros: I love it. My dream car gets driven every day.

Cons: Engine wear, the Texas heat, and paint chips from those who don't care what they open doors into..
