Daily Drive

Who uses there Zuki as a DD. Now mine is back on the road I am giving it a go to go to work & back about 25 miles a day on the A50. The ride is ok but not having a car stereo is a bummer. Not sure how the fuel economy will work out though.

I used to use mine as a daily, only about a 20mile round trip to work though.

I would happily carry on using it as a daily but the golf gti is quicker.

I used to use mine as my daily driver... and will when it is re-MOTd!

My drive to work is only about 12 miles!

I'm loving it as a daily drive but my 206 has better MPG.

I used mine as a daily drive for about 2years, I worked about 3 miles away so the fuel wasn't an issue, now I work 26miles away its not really an option - even if it had an mot! I would take it occasionally but its just not practical as a daily drive!

Is it really that smaller a world?

I was using mine as a daily until the mot ranout (and will again) for my 16 mile round trip however after using my 206 HDI for a while, going from 50mpg to 25 is going to be a struggle

I used to use mine as my DD 14 mile each way to work. But I prefer my S4 still a 4x4 but with 180bhp and better fuel economy, just.
