Actually, the R8 with the 4.2L V8 engine would be a wonderful daily driver. That 4.2 L engine is a proven engine, with over 10 yrs use in various production audis. I've had two, one with 260k miles and another with 150k miles still going, so you will get no trouble from the engine. Some V8 R8's with 15k miles are less than 100k. Knowing that you can get 250k miles minimum out of that motor, it may be the most reliable exotic daily that you can buy.

Title of thread best Daily Driver....
I guess if you go to the gym, work and lunch it works.
Go golfing in the R8? With 2 of you? Impossible.
Go on a long weekend in it. Have you seen the trunk? It's Lambo-esque.
While the R8 is a fantastic looking car. Has fantastic creature comforts. Is fast enough to satisfy sudden urges and could be considered one of the best cars made in its era it is a very far cry from a DD.
At least with a Porsche 911 you can go do stuff while I still don't consider it the best DD it's got some potential.

I actually disagree with this.

Beyond that it's just fairly high on the kickass scale.

I'll higher a Gigolo to pat you on the back.
Sorry if I missed your post.
You've seen my Glasses I hate thread? I can't read worth a shit these days. So I skim at best some posts. Sorry sir.
Yes without question it depends on your station in life. The R8 would have sucked this morning taking the 3 kids to school for me

I do think for someone of my lifestyle either a R8 or C4S would be just fine. No kids, don't golf and if a trip is more than two hours I fly. AWD with snows makes it a great winter car here. It is very comfortable and the GF likes it so I would take a lot less grief than another Porsche.

When you live in Minneapolis, and have more than one guy friend (you started) to haul around, you drive an SUV (winter).
This is 'the' SUV to own if you care a lick about performance (and don't need to show everyone how much money you have - read CTT).
