I wont be doing more than a 2-3 thousand miles a year max in mine. Its my second car and would never have one as an everyday car. Id be too scared to leave mine anywhere. Mine will only ever be parked either in the garage or on the drive when im home, and i wouldnt have it any other way.

Other than that though, I cant really see why they would make a bad everyday car. Loads of people drive them day in day out in all weathers, and full respect for those that do.
