How many use their Crossfires for daily driving, or as their primary car. I am thinking of using mine as a primary car in the summer months only to save money on insurance, this way I would only have to insure my crossfire while my "winter" car is in storage. I just don't know if I want to keep it as a weekend car, or run it as a primary car. Let me know what your thoughts are on this.

 

Primary car is the way to go for me. Why only drive it on weekends when you can drive it 7 days/week? I can imagine not driving it in the winter up north... I did it once and it was a real pain with the RWD. It is possible, just not practical. But since it is my only car, I have no choice unless I want to walk in the ice. But the car will do what ever you want it to, it is built that well.

 

Mines a daily driver except in bad weather, last two days with the threat of freezing rain its sat in the garage. I have that luxury because I'm a mile from work. If the sun is out tomorrow it will be driven.

I have a Civic as a daily driver, it's much friendly with the fuel consumption. I use my Crossfire mostly on weekends and fun drives.

Mine is a daily driver..but, I do have the luxury that I don't work Jan, Feb and some of March, so if it's crummy outside,she stays in her nice warm garage. Occasionally I do have to deal with snow or ice, but I added 2 -50 # bags of sand (per an old threads suggestion) and she does just fine !

 

Mine is a daily driver unless maor storms are heading my way.

Mine is a daily driver unless I have to haul lumber or something..... well OK, just about anything.

I miss it when I have to drive my truck.

I used to DD my 6 and then I got tired of driving it to work where I get REALLY dirty and then getting back into my nice car with suede seats...........so I bought a truck to DD. I do drive the 6 every chance I can get though as it always puts a smile on my face.

 

We have to use our 08 as our daily driver as our other one is a Chevy dully,we live in a 5th wheel RV.But here in SC the weather is not to bad.So far no snow or ice storms.Just a lota bad wind for 2 days. We do have a portable carport that we keep her in out of any weather.And well waxed.

 

Mine is a daily driver. I couldn't ask for more.

The snow is rarely more than an inch, here in Kansas City... and the Crossfire excels in both dry and wet (rain) environments. The trunk is big enough for anything I want to put back there... any ONE thing. (With the exception of my recently purchased 40" HDTV)

As long as you don't live on a gravel road or live north of Kansas, the Crossfire is a wonderful daily driver.

 

Daily driver when the weather is nice. I won't drive it if there is a lot of snow/slush on the streets as I hate to get that mag-chloride they like to throw on the roads here all over the car. I work from home, so I don't have to do a lot of driving anyway.

 

Daily driver here. I couldn't stand to let it sit while I drive a different car. I have to drive it as much as possible, that is why I bought such a great car....To DRIVE! Of course, the weather down here is always pretty nice, in the 70's, so i don't have the winter prob.

 

Primary for me and loving every second of it!

 

I drive every day without a whole lot of trouble. It gets pretty bad when theres a lot of snow or ice, but no problems yet , knock on wood. The only problem I`ve had is getting the fuel door open when my car is covered with ice. It`s not pretty in winter, but when it`s above freezing I spray it off at the car wash and pray for spring when I can give it a good bath.

Daily driver , like most if ice or snow is forecast - it stays home, snow car is a 83 Olds Torando roadster edition - I get more looks for driving that than the Crossfire!
I am vey lucky - I live half mile from work - I could walk - but then I don't get to drive my Crossfire

 

She's my daily driver, and I love every moment. We don't get much snow in central Oklahoma, only the occasional Ice Storm. Then I can walk to work if need be.

I drive mine daily. For the winter here in Chicago I have put snow tires on and 150lbs of sand in the back to aid in traction. It has done wonders...

Now the only thing I deal with are the people who stare at me when I go through the touchfree carwash in 10 degree weather
to get the salt cleaned off the car... at least once a week.

 

Mine's a daily driver too. Actually it's my winter car as I commute on a motorcycle most of the summer. Seems odd to have bought the Crossfire as a winter car here in MN, but it works just fine with 50# of salt in the back. Mark

 

Use my roadster every day all year round. Rear wheel drive is no problem and if the snow is that bad then front wheel drive wouldn't be that much better. When I first started driving all we had was rear wheel and no ABS or traction control and I never got into an accident because of the weather.
