Your RX-8 for everyday or just sports?
I'm planning on buying one as my everyday driver, but I was wondering how many of you use yours for everyday driving and how many use it for sports/touring/fun driving?

Just curious...

My RX-8 is my only car.
I drive it everywhere and love it. I don't mind traffic or anything else. As a matter of fact, this car made me enjoy driving again.

Everyday driver to and from work - plus a few long drives on a weekend (when I can keep from doing yardwork).

Daily driver. Shifting in rush hour traffic does get old, though.

Daily driver as well, and I drive a lot too. Just under 15,000 miles in 7 months.

Traffic over an hour, the shifting is anoying, but it's such a minor thing compared to how much I enjoy having to drive all over the place. Big thumbs up.

Oh and it's fun at the autocross as well :D
