I used mine daily on a (roughly) 20 mile roundtrip until the day I had to get a wheel bearing replaced. It took roughly a week because the parts needed to come from Belgium and it was over a Bank Holiday. I had no choice other than to take my little branch line to the mainline. Haven't used the S2000 daily since! Used to be a right pain getting stuck in traffic, finding a parking space, etc, etc, etc.
Now with baby daughter in tow, the only time it goes out is at the weekend..... although I reckon it gets thrashed that much harder as a result!

Mines a DD too.
It's not the trip to work that counts, but sinking into the leather at my 10pm finish, dropping the hood and blasting home that makes any bad day stop right there.

Up until recently I commuted 40 miles each way in mine, for the first year I owned it I was regularly travelling from Surrey to Sheffield, sometimes there and back in a day. I think I put 20K on the car in the first year. Loved every mile of it.
sadly the mileage is now over 100K and the fuel is so damned expensive so am using the Jazz to commute. but still drive the S at every opportunity.

Every day, every trip, it's my only car and the hell with the fuel costs - i'd rather drive this than anything else.

4 hours commute on a train for me each day i'm afraid. However, when working as a photographer I use it to commute. Hopefully the job is changing soon and it'll become my daily again.

Daily driver here and wouldn't have it any other way. It had 3 services last year and the mileage is creeping up but I get such enjoyment driving it!
