They're OK over speed humps even when lowered although you may have problems if you have a car full of people.
I would say that they're not ideal for everyday driving but it's personal choice I suppose.

I'm using my GGR335 bhp every day but I've just destroyed my sump, the power steering pipes, and the spoiler above the splitter on a f***ing piece of pipe laying in the middle of the road.. Except that and a huge fuel consumption it's fine!

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.
