I am looking at getting a 03/04 Cobra as my daily driven car. Does anyone on here drive their 03/04 Cobra on a daily basis? I just want to know if it is going to be a pain to do. I would greatly appreciate any replies. Thanks!

I drive mine 52 miles each way to work and back 5 days a week. I love it. Little hard on gas but it sure makes the late night second shift drive home a lot more fun!

oh yah.. I dont run the Hoosiers on the street LOL

50 miles round trip every day. Works great! Gassing up more than once a week sucks though...

daily driver here, just keep an eye on the blower belt

nothing wrong with running a 2.93 pulley, catback, cai and a custom tune

runs great and its not too hard on the gas

Daily driver and family car for that matter. Hell of a lot of fun and wouldn't trade it for anything. Everyone should have a 400+ hp family car.

I have driven mine almost every day for a year and a half now, and it's a lot of fun. Not a hassle at all. Some people will say the clutch is a pain in traffic but it doesn't really bother me. Then again I am 6'4" and 250lbs, so maybe I can just deal with it better.

Seriously though, the only complaint I would have is that it uses a lot of gas. Of course that's all relative. If you drive a SUV now, then the Cobra will probably get the same or better mileage. If you drive a Civic, then it will seem like it's eating you out of house and home.

If you drive it every day, you'll spend a lot of time washing it because they tend to get dirty when driven daily, and since it's a nice car you'll want it to be clean. Other than that, it's a great DD.

This is the only car to drive daily. No other car will do.
Gotta watch those cops on the Harleys though, sneaky little b*st*rds

The 03-04 Cobra is one awesome ride!
Sure it would be fine for a daily driver.
