dialy driver?!

[Marci GTi-R]

Hey,

I was wondering how many of you guys use your gti-r as a daily driver?

If not how often do you use your R and how many miles do you cover?

I use mine as a daily when it´s not being tuned! lol

Regards,

Ramon

Mine's a daily driver. Snow up to the door sills in winter, gravel roads, dirt and potholes in the summer. I don't do that much mileage but I do take it out every day!

 

[dobby]

I use mine everyday. 10,000miles a year maybe. best everyday car i have ever had.

 

[gtirneil]

I used mine every day for 2 years, doing 50 miles a day to work and back, then a few 100mile round trips each week to North Wales.

Was only running 300bhp using usual shite mods and the only problems i had were a dodgy fuel pump relay oh and a snapped conrod after a spirited drive down the M6 toll.

 

[youngsyp]

Yep, and have done for the last 5 years. A few years back, I was doing 14k miles a year in it and it didn't and hasn't missed a beat.

It is a bitch when there's heavy congestion though. My clutch doesn't seem to have been designed to be used in heavy traffic !

Luckily, I'm down to around 5 miles a day now. 8)

 

[LILMAN]

Had one for 3 years which I used day to day used to have problems with wheel bearings all the time as the roads aint the best round here.

My current R only done 200 miles last year as ive got a run around for work.

 

[GTi-R23]

Had mine for 2 years, done less than 1000 miles probably, gets taken for a short hack every other w/e at best. The odd trek down to Santa Pod in between. Really should try to use it more.

Got a Punto GT as my daily driver, 165bhp so it's good in rush hour for squeezing into small gaps quickly.

 

[gunmetalgtir]

I used to use my old one as a daily driver and donr about 8,000 miles a year in it.

Only use this one at weekends and dry days now and it's saving me a fortune! :lol:

 

[Rav]

i onwed my beast for 6 years, used everyday to work, took it to france for the odd booze run, germany, a few months ago, and used last week at my cousins wedding

 

[Animaldaz]

Had mine for 2 years and ive only just stopped using it daily, £40 on petrol every 4 days is a bit much for my wallet. Only broke down once, suddenly lost earth to the fuel pump, seperate earth wire soted that. so pretty reliable for an old rally car

 

[Odin]

I drove mine to and from work everyday for 2 years with out issue, It's only when the tuning bug took hold that it's spent anytime off the road, I had it back on the road up here in Scotland for about a year and half before this rebuild.

I'd say over my 6 years of ownership the only problem I've ever had is the clutch going and brake pads, Piston ring lands where my fault so don't count lol.

[GTIR-LOZ]

had mine for 6 years or so driving her daily 30-60 miles a day, not really had any major problems only c.v gators, and radiator sprung a leak all other problems have been down to me such as boost hoses flying off etc lol

 

[stugtir300]

had mine for two years only gets used in the summer but i might see how it fairs this winter.

 

[m40rcD]

done 5,000 miles in mine in just over four years of ownership. only gets used on dry summer days so as you'd imagine it dont get used much. Got a audi a4 as a daily driver

 

[Dooie Pop Pop]

used as a daily driver for four yrs on the 20th of Sept! averaging £40-£60 on juice a week depending on wether i go to shows or the like.

last saturday i drove to santa pod from the southend area for the FIA finals then on sunday i drove to slapton almost 300 miles away near torquay, plus fannying around:twisted: iv easily a 1000 miles in a week:shock:

 

[Sam_M]

I use mine as the daily driver, most of the driving through the sticks. Very reliable, hasnt let me down once, only issue I have is sometimes it just clicks like a machine gun to start but still always ends up starting, which if I can figure out where the bad earth causing this it`ll be spot on. Brilliant cars, I absolutely love mine,
