Absolutely. 20 miles to work, 20 miles home. It gets twice the mileage of my current daily driver.

Mine will be a semi daily driver at least to start with. Currently I still drive my 88 Iroc Z to work every day and since she is still in good condition I don't plan to get rid of her as soon as I get the car. My daily comute is 19 miles round trip.

BlackRaptor · 05-19-2009, 12:35 PM

2.5 miles around trip to work. haha Yup DD for me. other than winter.

MontyCarlo · 05-19-2009, 12:36 PM

Reviewers tend to say the Camaro's pretty smooth and comfortable, especially with the leather. Definitely suited to daily driving. You have nothing to worry about!

MrIcky · 05-19-2009, 12:38 PM

Why wouldn't it be a daily driver? With the exception of living somewhere really snowy, there's nothing about a Camaro that would make it not be a decent DD.

golfer1 · 05-19-2009, 12:43 PM

Defiantly DD, the farthest I would have to drive it would be 1000 miles round trip between school and home which only happens during x-mas and summer break. Plus when its at school it'll just be sitting in my Frat house lot anyways with the cover on.

Crowley · 05-19-2009, 12:44 PM

Yes ... about 32 miles ..

It'll be my wife's DD 4.2 miles a day. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif Our garage to her work garage.

Maddtim · 05-19-2009, 12:45 PM

DD for me, put between 15 and 17k per year on it, maybe a little more as we'll try and keep the mileage down on my wife's leased Torrent. 50-65 miles round trip depending on which way I go (50 miles mostly City, 65 Miles with Interstates)
