So, what is yours ?

In time I hope my Europa will become all three.
But for now it is my daily drive.

In my three weeks of ownership I have driven it to and from work every day, made a long-ish trip from Reading to Ipswich and managed a fabulous B road blast from Devizes to Poole.

Anyone else drive their Europa / Exige / Elise every day ?

Use it everyday, but very much all three for me.

Week end canyon racer for me, too much traffic for a daily driver in L.A.

Weekend toy here. Never gets used daily... because it lives 30km away from me it's kinda hard to use it for the commute smile

Everyday car here, sadly its mainly sat on the motorway doing 70 but at least its still comfy. Can't see me taking onto a track, at least for a while, but does give me a massive grin just knowing I own it.

It will be my weekend toy and will see a few track days each year too. I get the train to work.

You'd have to hold a gun to my head to make me use it every day, it's a horrid contraption.

Mine started life as a daily driver for me with the odd track day. It was 'retired' some three years ago and has been a weekend toy/track day car since. I've now fitted a Duratec but with family and work being very busy the development has taken a lot longer than I would have liked.

Weekend toy plus the odd commute when i'm not working in London e.g. Westbury to Hove cross country.

Daily drive (and indeed my only functional car, but the wife has a Punto for tip duties).

Weekend toy (unless the Alfa is broken).

At the moment, I don't really get to dive it a weekends either...

S2 Exige S - All of the above.

Daily driver (4mile commute- Lazy I know), took it to the Nurburgring in May, and hopefully again in September, along with UK trackdays.

Also will get back into sprinting when I get my backside into gear (though tbh entries are getting pretty expensive)

I am pleased to learn there are others out there driving theirs every day.

I have been finding the approx 30 miles of B road, dual carriageway and motorway between home and work to be surprisingly comfortable in the Europa.

Use my Exige S every day. Am going to a CarLimits Activity Day at the end of the month, but I don't think my exhaust will pass the noise tests at a track hehe
