Just wondering how many people use there cars as daily drivers?

And those that dont how often do you use the cars?

The Levante is used as a daily driver, GranCabrio and 4200 are used on very nice days

It would be interesting if anyone posts here a car more than 20 years old as a daily driver….

I used 2 3200s as daily drivers the first between 2003 & 2005, and then the current one from 2005 to 2010. I then swapped to a QPV for a daily driver until we moved to Belgium. It would be madness to own a QPV living in a city like Brussels! I have seen a couple out & about parked up in the city, but, as you might expect, they are not in the best condition – small dings and scratches – all the things you expect from regular city use. I very much doubt the fuel economy would be that great around town either ;)!

I use my Ghibli as my daily driver. Even after 55000 miles it still puts a smile on my face every time I close the door and start the engine.

I do sometimes alternate with an 2001 Alfa Spider when the sun is shining, but the Maserati is my main daily car.

When I went above the 50k miles I wrote an article on DriveTribe about my experiences so far. Here is the link in case anyone is interested https://drivetribe.com/p/50000-miles-in-maserati-Wwmdr6ewRT-8QiTq_o8INQ

I have a 1989 430 that I use as a daily driver covering about 6K miles a year and religiously put in the garage when it is not used, current mileage 105k.

Bought it 4 years ago had quite a lot of work done to it and keep it serviced and pampered at McGraths. It only needs work at service time and to date has been reliable on short and long journeys and thanks to Paul at McGraths, drives like a dream.

My 1989 manufactured 222e was licenced in 1990 and only gets daily driver status between May and Oct so on two counts Bill’s 430 still has it. Come on there must be something older out there???
