Yes, I daily drive my 2014 LT Automatic. Well, we bought it used with a little over 40k miles on it. My son drove it for a year, and I've driven it for half a year, It's up to 49k now. I only put about 3500-4000 miles on a car per year since I work from home.

Hasn't given us any problems at all. I keep the fluids changed religiously, and I added a catch can, but that's all I've done to it as far as performance is concerned.

I have a 14 1LS and drove it daily until I retired. Almost 60K on it and haven't had any mechanical problems with it .

i use to drive mine daily, then the wife got hired at the same agency as me. so now we car pool as much as we can. I drive mine with no hesitation but in D.C. area, the weather kinda dictates it as well. No sense in driving it in the rain if i don't have to.

Everyday, all year round. I've put just under 70K miles on it in the 3.5 years since I bought it used with 14K. I absolutely love this car, but, at the end of the day, it's just a car, meant to be driven, not garaged.

365 Days a year and all four seasons. I wouldn't have it any other way. I actually enjoy driving it in the snow.

You are nuts! I bet that really hones your driving skills. I couldn't imagine trying to keep this car under control in the snow, but I bet it is a blast. That is awesome.

It's my daily driver, rain snow or shine! Sad that it has almost double the HP of my 'race car' lol

Snow tires make all the difference. The 2010 is better in the snow than my last two cars... 86' Trans Am or 2002 Camaro. As long as you feather the throttle in the snow its not that bad.

I bet. I had a 1995 Trans Am that was a nightmare to drive even in the rain. Slightest bit of dampness to the roads and the car went sideways. Of course it had absolutely no traction control or Stabilitrak, so that made a big difference too.

Isn't that the truth! No matter what car it is, a proper set of snow tires and a proper set of summer tires, you can't beat it!

People that run all-seasons all year round, they really don't know the sacrifices they are putting up with.

My basement currently has 7 sets of wheels and tires, I try to have winter/summers for every car that I have, and my 2012 has 3 sets. 2 summer and 1 winter.
