GP3 as daily driver?

Anyone here daily drive their GP3? Is it too harsh for a daily driver in stock form?

My GP is my daily driver. It has a hard ride, but I found when I switched to Michelin PS4S 225/40 tires from the stock 225/35 the ride improved.

Daily driver here as well. The ride is definitely on the stiff and firm side, a lot would depend upon the quality of roads you typically drive as well as the type of vehicles you are accustomed to driving. A test drive on roads similar to your commute if possible may help. Good luck with your decision, let us know what you decide.

Just purchased the car today with 1100 miles on it.

The ride is very nice. I don’t understand all of the negative YouTube reviews about the car being too stiff.

I have a F80 M3 with B16 EDC coilovers, SPL solid bushings and arms all around and Cup 2 tires and boy does the GP3 feel a billion times more comfortable than my M3.

I am super happy with the car as is. I think it just needs a bit more exhaust note, but then, my exhaust likely hasn’t even been broken in yet after only 1100 miles.
