New daily driver (warning - not a Chevy!)

camaro_uk · 11-28-2017, 10:41 PM

Okay so before some of you guys hate me for posting a pic of a competitor car here, just want to say I have a 2015 1LE which is my baby, and my weekend car. Unfortunately, since I moved to LA I drive it even less because of traffic and crappy pot-holed LA roads. It's still my baby and too good to use as a commuter car. My previous commuter was a 2009 Passat, which I hated 'cos of its turbo lag and front wheel drive. The specs I wanted for my next commuter/daily driver was a naturally aspirated V6, rear wheel drive and auto...This tank fit the build nicely, and being auto and having a basic/squishy suspension makes for a comfortable everyday ride compared to the 1LE... but is no canyon carver. Its like a big boat!

Also wanted to say that I'm originally from UK so I love American Muscle and half the reason why I moved to this great country! So for me, all the 3 muscle car brands are legends and iconic, but having also owned 2 Vettes previously, I'm more of a Chevy dude! I feel lucky to have this and my 1LE... Will try to get a pic of the 2 together soon...God bless 'Merica!!

You probably could have gotten a v6 Camaro as a daily driver. The v6's still handle really well, get descent fuel mileage, and are plenty fast enough.

As long as you are happy is all that really counts.

That's a nice looking Dodge Challenger. I'd be scared to drive even that car around on the mean streets of LA.

A daily driver to me is something you're not too worried about getting dinged or smashed up. You know, like an old truck or something. Some people would even regard that car as their "weekend" driver. It all depends on perspective, I guess.

That's a nice car! I'm trying to talk my wife into getting one. She says that camaros are uncomfortable and mustangs are out of the question. She's not a dodge fan but I'm trying to talk her into a challenger. My dad has a green 2015 r/t and I love it. That's my 2nd favorite as far as looks and performance and I hate to admit it but the stock exhaust on those things is mean. Congratulations on your new ride

Nice ride for a DD.

I just decided I want to DD my 2SS and I've been driving it like a rental. If I wear it out or TA it, I'll get another. I love driving it everyday. Life's too short to drive a compromise.

Nice DD mate

Cheers

Cool DD.

Nice Car, I like all the "Big Three" Musclecars these days, I just like my Camaro a bit better. I'll be the first to compliment a Challenger Driver, Mustang Driver or another Camaro Driver about their car. A guy at work has a V6 Challenger in Red and it looks really nice, I do like it. Congrats on your new DD.

Wish I had my Camaro when I was cruising the PCH and Malibu. Thats a nice DD!

Been cruising PCH for at least the past 3 weekends now. Not only is it a gorgeous drive, but its even better in a Camaro SS.

I've got the company F150 that I drive half the week. I could daily drive my Camaro if I had to but glad I don't. It'd have 250k miles by now lol.

Nice DD, btw. I am in agreement with some... like all 3 American Muscle cars these days, but LOVE my Camaro.

Congrats on the new ride.

Shouldn’t this be in the “Other Cars” section? You may want to get the Admin’s to move it.
