Curious what's the estimate of people who drive it daily to those who don't I'd be a daily when I get one. About 17.2 miles one way to work everyday luckily at 415 in morning it takes me 25 minutes. N I leave at 3 which takes 35 minutes. Occasionally I work till 5. Then it's at least 1 hr.
Mine is my daily driver. My commute is about 3 miles one-way. It's a gentle 35-40 mph drive, so I don't have too much cause to run the engine hard. I do let it idle in my drive-way a minute or two just to give it more time to warm-up.
The big downside to the warm-up is that it kills my gas mileage. during the actual driving portion it averages 28-32, but with my warm-up time I'm averaging 23-25 for each tank, but I just don't want a majority of my driving to be on an un-warmed engine.

Wow! Your commute and times sound identical to mine! I have an NA and a GXP. The GXP is the daily driver.
Update: Ooops, didn't pay attention to your mileage!! I'm about 30 miles one way, at 4:15 I can make it in about 20-25 mns. In the evening rush hour, it's an hour at least.
Bringing up an old thread. I just bought my GXP last week and it will be my daily driver. About 15 miles each way. Luckily I live in Florida now so I can drive year round. How many on here still DD their Solstice?
Almost daily here. 22 miles round trip to work. On bad weather days, I drive my Mazda 6 ... but my daughter will get her license soon and will take that car.
when I sell off the old bug this will be it...now I drive the bug about 1-2 time a week with for sail sine in it. it needs to go to pay for part of this car.Ill miss it ,it's eazely 2x's as quick as this car...but no ac and...dont shine as much.
daily drive rotation on my 07 shared with 89 ta, 96 vette, c10, and other randomness(jeep, crew cab, suburban, e320 wagon etc...) And there is a motorcycle or two somewhere in there. Hopefully in a year or two my 67 camaro will join the field, while vette and maybe some others will go away.
I would love to get another 67 Camaro. My first car when I was 13 was a 67 RS SS Camaro. Ran mid to high 11's in the quarter. Not to shabby for a 13 year old kid in 1978.
Not daily for me, but close during the warmer months. And occasionally through the winter as long as the roads are dry and snow-free. I'm at about 75,000 miles now. I'm not saving it. It's just that I sometimes have to carry parts for work, plus for a variety of reasons, my sedan is a more comfortable car. November thru April, it's about 10% solstice, but from May thru October, it's about 80% solstice.
Every
Single
Day!
(Unless there is more than 2 inches of snow predicted or already on the ground)
