Assuming that ultimate exotics such as the F50, F1, 550, and EB110 are off limits. . .

Is this a trick question?
Only M3 is a good daily driver that doesn't cost too much.
All the others are too small to be comfy. Even though I have no problem using them as daily driver, they are obviously not as comfy as M3, a car in a different class.
Where are my choices?
I love to click on those round circles, but I feel cheated

Some of the choices area lot more expensive than others, with the S2k supposedly being thirty grand while a Modena is in the hundreds. Should be somewhat comparable prices within 10-40 G's tops. Would make decision a lot harder.

The S2K isn't an option &
No, this isn't a trick question. . .

Assuming that you're not carrying around a baby's car seat (or two) & you don't live in a location that has snow 55% of the year, I think the choices are reasonable. . .

Though the 360 is stretch, the other choices represent super sports cars that are "reasonably" priced (in comparison to each other) and offer an everyday drivability.

That being said, which would you drive???

Y'know, between the 911T and the 360, I can't decide. The Porsche is obviously the more powerful car. Its looks are even growing on me (I haven't really been a fan of the 996 design).

The 360 on the other hand is just drop-dead beautiful. Not as powerful, but maybe more liveable.

Though you know what, if I were that rich, I'd own both, so I wouldn't have to make up my mind.

No snow, no baby?
How about commute? What kind of commute is reasonable?
Some people only need to get 10 miles a day out of their daily driver!!!!!
If that's all I have to drive per day, I'd take F360!

While we're talking about dreams I don't suppose you'd want to throw in an Astin Martin DB7 would you. The ultimate dream car....
