[STUBOY2UK]

Daily driver. Had mine a exactly a year this week and I've done 20,000 miles in it.

Whenever I can! And roof down if it's dry.. Have to use my van most days with the shops, and if I have kids in tow, it's the XC90, so when it's just me (and occasionally the wife, if she's been good) I used the Zed, sometimes I even structure my cash and carry visits just so I can go in the Zed, after all I can still get a few cases of beer and a couple of grands worth of cigs in the boot

Work from home, so my daily commute is to the gym. I do occasionally take the wife's volvo to keep the mileage down & to make red feel "special again"... but that's fairly rare

 

[JJM94]

Daily driver for me!

I find it relatively practical with most things other than speed bumps!!!

Mines used daily about 40 miles motorway little bit of weekend driving best way to maintain a big engine give it a good run so there's no condensation build up in oil

Did you get Marlon's permission to run this poll by the way?

I'm still relatively new here, I've already got in trouble with Taz for welcoming someone to the exclusive coupe club!

As others have said, despite mine being a daily, it still feels rather special every time I get into it, even after having owned a few BMW's previously.
I've owned mine for a year now, done 20k and it definitely won't be my last zed!

Mine is used every day except in the two days of snow per year.

 

[rjsimmons]

Daily for me unless it is warm and clear, then I am on my Harley!!!!

 

[john-e89]

I have my van for work and with a young son and an on-going house re-furb I don't get too much chance to use it so it's an OCD clean garage queen, only used in the dry and salt free roads but I will use it all year round.

 

[dhobbs]

Daily drive, mainly motorways but sometimes the long way home on b roads.

Family car is a touran which is boring but very practical. Been trying to get involved with it but it's just numb!

 

[mr.tourette]

supposed to be a weekend toy for me but if its looming like nice weather i will commute in it too

Welcome to the "in trouble with Taz for welcoming someone to the exclusive coupe club" club! :lol:

Still now I am on my second Coupe I feel more entitled!

Anyway being the wrong side of 50 and having salary-based pensions I don't have to do work anymore.

I had my first Z4C for virtually 2 years and only did 8,000 miles - having realised my foolishness selling it, resulting in me buying another I have also realised I need to use it more, so I will!

But it won't be going to supermarket car parks - that is what the E46 Compact daily is for! Well that and hospital appointments for my 94 year old mother!

 

[Z4 - Kev]

My Roadster is mainly a weekend toy. I've a van for commuting supplied by my firm.
I try to avoid taking it out in the pouring rain if possible. It's always garaged overnight as well.
I've owned it for about ten months now and always look forward to a weekend blast if the weather is fine.

I've two dogs plus the missus. Zed is a bit small for all four of us .......lol!

The short wheel base 1998 Vauxhall Frontera (remember them?) is used for all of us + trips to the super market.

Mines my every day use car ,my toy, when I pay good money for cars i think they're there to be driven, not garaged. My wife's cars the "family car" a Nissan juke , the boots in mine is bigger than the juke and if I need to take the little one out the zeds got isofix . This is one of the reasons i chose the z4c over m the Cayman due to isofix and airbag disarm

Airbag switch and isofix is an easy retrofit to the cayman if it doesn't already have it, it's one of the first questions I asked when looking at Caymans.

If you only need 2 seats then a z4 is very practical. It's easy to get in and out, loads of space inside and has a decent boot. Only time I really struggled was going away on holiday with 2 large suit cases.

Errrm - well most days I take the cover off and look at it

In the winter when it's on sorn and garaged please tell me I'm not the only one that has a sit in it to smell the leather.
