Semi-daily but when I'm home, I drive 5 mi R/T to breakfast/coffee in the mornings and 15-20 R/T for various reasons later in the day.

I seem to find ladies to date who live in the same general area, thus generating the 40 mile round trips.

31k mi.
12k mi./year average

I used to daily my C63, but now I daily my C63S! Great cars, get a set of winter wheels/tires and run it all year. I've never had a car that makes me chuckle as much every day! Had 4 people in it the other day and a older Corvette pulled up beside us. He wasn't expecting to get spanked (twice) by a fully loaded sedan!

Daily driver here. In fact I'm an "any excuse to drive her" guy. "Anyone have any errands to run...I'll drive!!" Short commute to/from work so I have to be creative to get my fill. Smiles per gallon certainly applies here.

Daily drive mine as well. About a 25km round trip to work and back.
And if I have to work late, then the roads get nice and quiet. And then it's just pure enjoyment.

DD mine as well, as I did my old W202 C43. Of course, I work from home and if I need to go to me office, it's 1 mile away. But I drive to the gym every day and other errands. Great car. Only complaint is these cars do not like to be driven slowly, so I need to find time to open it up and beat on it periodically.

I couldn't of said this better for myself. Pretty much same story... Other then I don't go to the gym every day. I should but I would be lying if I said I did.

My 14' is a Daily Driver, I do it night shift style...about 50 miles a day, fill up 1.5 times a week on average. Michelin Alpins and now a 507 LSD for the winter because thats my formula. Its full blown CPO for the next four years so If it gets dicey in the forecast she goes in for any one of the minor ailments they have not resolved. The car is thirsty but the power is incredible so thats a fair trade off to me. Now that the LSD is installed, its so nice to be back in a proper automobile.

Another Daily Driver here. I average about 60km a day and drives it everywhere, but I do have a strict schedule of keeping it clean and spotless though even during winter and raining season, I'd still wash her.

These cars are meant to be enjoyed!

Every day, as much as I can. About 70 miles round-trip. You can tell from the paint on the front-end, too.

I feel this way too. Too "racecar" to be driving through city roads and park downtown for work. But you said your civic is faster

I own a 2013 c63 and a 2003 civic but since I bought my 63 back in February I have left the civic in the garage even when I have taken long trips. Why ? Because I am passionate about driving and I love my Mercedes. Once you start driving a car of this magnitude you don't want to go back to anything else. In the few occasions where I have driven my civic the difference is night and day and I ask myself how did I drive this car this long. The Honda is a great car for gas mileage but there is no way it even comes close to a 500+ hp sport sedan that does 0-6 in 3.8 sec, runs the quarter 11.90's. and can chew up and spit out twisty roads like they were nothing.
"my civic is a little faster" good grief.

best time I have ran in my civic is a 11.63 @124mph so I just don't think my C63 will run that time in its current form willing be taking it to the track when I get so DRs on the rear see what it runs and last time I checked these c63 are not putting down 500HP still in love with my amg its a great car just not for DD use i really try to take care of it

Daily drive my 2009 35 miles each way.
Never fails to bring a smile to my face when I do.
And it never fails to bring a frown to my face when I drive the r350 with the worlds most reluctant accelerator...

I have a DD IS300, but it's so boring to drive compared to the C63. I drive 8 miles roundtrip to and from work. Can barely get my oil heated up by the time I get to work...But makes staying late worth the cruise home...Extra $500-$1000 in gas per year for driving pleasure? Sureeee no problem

The reason I own a C63 (my second) and have been daily driving one for 6 years is because of how high the performance is relative to the hassle. Anything higher performance probably has a too-flashy image, a front spoiler that is trying to be scraped off on every driveway, seats that you fall into, no room for golf clubs, maybe a lurchy tranny, fragile interior bits, etc. These cars can be "nasty" (in manual or sport+) or mellow (in comfort), and they are just so easy to live with in the real-world, day-after-day. Only complaint is that now that I am older and softer, the suspension is a bit harsh at low speed. But that is nit-picking. #weareprettylucky.
