I have a diesel 75 saloon that I use every day for work in a 30 mile round trip. She still get a weekly polish as a treat for being good though, lol.

I don't drive for work but am currently using the 75 and ZT for daily driving duties. I think I will be letting the 75 go though, so it will likely be the ZT only soon. I also have a couple of other cars to share the love.

Up until last year when i started working from home i used mine for work every day but even now it is still my daily driver and i try and keep her clean and tidy.

My 1.8 is my daily (when the slave cylinder is doing its job). Around 25-30 miles each way for work so she gets regular exercise.

Still use mine for work, as I have done for the last 20 odd years. Off tomorrow on a 235 mile trip to work up North for a couple of days.
Still a great and very relaxing long distance cruiser.

My ZT has been pressed into pretty much daily action since the daily driver Mondeo died back in October last year. She gets used for the daily commute (though I could really cycle, but that's another thing), the weekly shop and trips down to the coast to take my daughter to and from uni. She'll get a good wash every couple of months, when I'm allowed as I do take far too long doing it.

Yep mines a daily driver to and from work, as well as doing odd jobs on peoples cars so boot is usually tooled up.
