Daily driver with 33k miles on it...and always looking for reasons to drive her

 

Yes daily drive the F, the E is for the weekends

 

While I don't daily drive my F-Type, it certainly is a very liveable car for driving every day if you wanted to.

 

All year round, including in the snow! Snow tires mean you don't have to garage it.

 

Daily driver except for snow

 

Definitely daily! F Type R coupe's trunk is spacious enough for a single guy, no complaints there. Ride is...well, yeah, it's a little firm, but it's not intended to be a Ford Taurus (yes, I had one. It was a 2003. Golden. With a spoiler). I personally find it very comfortable.
Visibility out back and to the sides is a bit compromised, but you learn to live with it. Adjust the mirrors as far out as you can, use the backup camera, etc. Also, in traffic, you can just, you know...punch it.
Interior even has enough small-item storage.
Dynamic aspects of the car are well known, so just watch your approach angle: the front scraps sometimes.

 

Why'd you get two f-types? Jw.

 

I daily mine and do not have another car to carry large stuff in. If something doesn't fit in the trunk or the passenger seat, it cannot come home. Costco runs take some clever packing (toilet paper and paper towels in the front seat).

 

Nope; fair weather summer car for me. Evenings and weekends when it's nice out....I have lots of other choices to run the traffic gauntlet on a daily basis or for winter.

garage queen here, I daily a full size RR with the same engine - so I'm not too far off

My OCD won't let me park next to people, not happening driving to work

 

I do the same. It was rather embarrassing when I drove it to Home Depot a few months ago and had to take a Lyft back (and then back again to get my car) as the moving boxes wouldn't fit!

 

Next time consider renting a home depot truck. I did that when I had my old, even smaller, convertible and would do it again if I needed to move something large and didn't want to ask to borrow a truck from a relative.

But yeah, the F-Type is another car that looks like it's limited to carrying no more than 3 banker's boxes at a time.

 

Same here. April to Oct, weekends, and a few days during the week if nice out. Drive it to work once in a while, especially if it has been raining for days. My wife and I take many long weekend trips during the summer, so most of miles comes that way; about 8-9K per year.

 

62000 miles since Nov 14

 

I got the AWD version specifically for this reason. Although having Pirelli P-Zeros on them will definitely not do justice in snow I'm sure!
Anyone drive the AWD version in snow yet? They have snow tracktion socks for them as accessories on Jaguar website and wondering if anyone has used them.

 

I have a Supershort commute (2 miles) so often walk or bike but I use it for all my driving needs summer and new England winter - appropriately tired - it's been great
