can get a bit steamy in the rain, also very enclosed with the top on. Also not totally waterproof around the door seals.

security is pretty much nil apart from immobiliser, so you'd want a garage for sure.

Some use a 'Carcoon' i think that's what they are called. Bit like a portable garage.

IMHO using a Caterham everyday, ends up making weekend blats less of a special occasion .
However, as long as you don't have to drive it daily to go to work, having a Caterham as your only car shouldn't be that much of problem.

I bought my Seven almost two years ago, it is my only car, I have used it for everything ranging from Ikea shopping trips to ski trips in the alps and winter offroading (with the right tyres it handles surprisingly well in the snow) and I have never once regretted my decision to buy a seven

I allready got rid of the thought of using it as a daily car.
Allthough hardtops do exist to resist the weather elements better, it's not that obvious to find a dealer who sells them here in Belgium where i live.
Rightnow i'm using my honda S2000 as a daily car and it doesn't deliver that smile behind the wheel anymore compared to the days when i just bought it.
I think it will only give you worries and it's a bit of a shame using it as a daily car.
I think i'm gonna sell my s2000 and buy a caterham for weekendblasts and a cheap small diesel for daily use.
Allthough my girlfriend thinks a caterham costs to much money for what it is and to only use it on a few occasions.
But then again, i don't think i'll lose a lot of money when i'll buy one second hand if i ever have to resell it.
