Mine is my only car and gets used everyday. The main problem you’ll get is an inability to remove the large grin from your face. I have spoken to my dealer about this but there is no known cure.
It’s difficult to know which other problems you’ll encounter because there is such a large variety to choose from. You have to expect some niggles but overall I find my Tuscan is really a very practical everyday car. I drive it in all weathers and expect I‘ll have covered about 16,000 miles by the time I’ve owned it for a year.
Although every couple of months (like last night for example!) it will do something that may cause this sort of situation:

I've driven mine everyday (well, you know what I mean) for two years and 15000 miles. The main problem with running it like that is that I've found it'll spend a few days per year at the dealer to fix "whatever" needs fixing that can't wait until the next service. So have a backup strategy for transport on those days is important.
Other than that - it's fine in traffic, the boot is large, everyone loves them!
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

Editted to say I've driven my car in all conditions succesfully, including snow and ice. The only time I've had to be careful is when the roads have been flooded, as the air intake is low down.

I have done 33k in mine over the last 2 years. I have recently however bought a second vehicle as mine is now out of warranty.
The biggest problems I have had in using the Tuscan as an everyday car is the cost and time of Servicing (nearly £1k every 6,000 miles) and using it in bad weather.

Yep, mine is used every day for work, and I must agree with other posts, the car is fine and only off the road for the inevitable niggles. Does work out expensive but makes up for it in spades by being sooo gorgeous to drive. You will find that most service engineers say the car is much better for being used regularly.

'Spot on' M'Lady
Saved me from thinking of a suitable reply after a decent bottle of 'red'
wouldn't worry too much, at first every muppet motorist seems to be attracted to your car, pulling out, trying to race you at every opportunity, but at least you know you have it all under the bonnet if you need to use it.
mine does 300 miles a week as a daily runner, had a puncture, but that was as i was on the drive. might be an idea to keep a spare new tyre in the garage, as it took a day to source a replacement. luckily it was a friday night, so gave us the weekend to get her back on the road for work on monday.
it does make driving to work a pleasure, you will probably find every one is a tvr expert. a friend of ours was in a garage filling up his tuscan S earlier last week, and the AA guy commented on what a nice car it was, friend was well chuffed, unil the AA guy said see you later!! - blinkin cheek.
have not had mine for winter use yet, so will wait and see!!
