Default Whats your daily driver?

I did a search and could not find a thread started with this title. I know its not a Corvette topic and I hope it doesn't break the rules of posting. I thought it would be cool to see what everyone has for a daily driver if it's not your C5. My daily driver is a 2015 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. It's a blast to drive and gets 30-32 mpg on average.

I have been daily driving this for 3 years. It's technically the wife's for her business but I get to daily it. I'm man enough to say that it drives quite nicely especially for a daily.

It beats the hell out of spending 3 hours a day in an F350.

I've been car shopping for something 'practical' to use as a dd, and thus far, the Stinger is in first place. 3.3L TTV6. Not super fast by any means, but it's a big car that'll at least get out of its own way. I had to borrow a car for a long distance trip last weekend and decided that shouldn't be an issue in the future. Hadn't even considered the A5/A6.

I guess I don’t have a daily since out of my 4 cars, 3 get regularly driven for errands/work. That’s the z06, a 92 4x4 toyota pickup, and a 99 Toyota 4Runner.

My rx7 does not get driven regularly. It’s a goal of mine to get it DD-able, but in the mean time it’s still too much of a project.
