Daily driver, but my commute can vary between 30 miles one day to 200 the next depending on which office I need to visit. In some cases I never leave my house and take my MINI out for a spin to get some gas or relieve the stress. LOL

I average 230 miles a week though.

I have two cars. A Lexus IS 300 sport cross and my Mini. I take the IS for out of town business and find myself in the Mini most of the time. The IS is supposed to be my "company" car but I can't stay out of the MINI

That's interesting. Sport Crosses are pretty rare. And I have both as well. The Sport Cross is the wifes car, and the MINI is mine.

they are rare. I have only seen 4-5 in Atlanta including mine. the dealers don't stock them. they say it is a California car but in two trips to LA last year I didn't see any there either.

I prefer the MINI

Daily Driver

Mine is a daily driver with 64 miles round trip a day. I've had my '04 MCS since October of 2003 and she already has over 29,000 miles on her and is still running strong with no problems. I love my MCS!

8,500 miles since Feb. 5th, 2005 MOTD was our third trip to the Dragon
But what about the canoe?!?
It was great meeting the Wiggles family in Robbinsville.

Daily Driver

33,000 since Oct. '02. Hey, I live close to where I work. Summer evenings are reserved for my 1969 MGC roadster or my 1962 MGA roadster. Weekend auto-x and fun run ralleyes are usually for the MCS, but occasionally the MGs complain and have to be exercised in anger.
