Mine is definitely a daily driver, DNA bandwidth makes it so. Bought it March 2018, Just need to figure out upcoming winter options, either get winter wheels and tires or buy an old Jeep.
 
My DD for about a 70 mile round trip every day. Gotta have some fun getting to and from work. Lol
So about how many miles do you have on the QV?

I have a 60 mile round trip commute to work and have over 15K miles, and also purchased the QV in Jan.

Mine is a DD and I swapped out the Pirelli tires for Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. The rear tires lasted about 3 months, so replaced them with Continental ExtremeContact DSW tires (All season/ 560 treadwear). She "floats" on take off (Dynamic/Race mode), but still have plenty of grip laterally. My next full set will probably be the Firestone Firehawk (Indy 500) tires.

While "A" mode is good for the highway commute, I just can't do it. I normally drive in race mode; however, I should have the Forza Exhaust Bypass Valve Controller installed this weekend. So may be driving in Dynamic mode more often.

How did the Forza Valve work out for you, any check engine lights etc. I am having mine put on this coming Thursday.
I had the DSW on the Ferrari 550 and loved them. I may go with them on the QV or Michelin A/S.. not sure yet.

I use my quad as a daily driver. No issues. 9200 miles. It eats gas and I love it. Bought it to drive it like it was made!!!!. I will store in garage in winter and drive my F-150.
 
My QV is a daily car. But no commute, just business use. Will run in the winter but I do not have to go out until roads are plowed. will run snow tires as we drop down to low teens on many days and we drive north for fun weekends. This is the car my wife also drives. I have experience driving on wet cold roads and know what snow tires do.
 
While technically not a daily driver, as I walk to work, it is my only car, and will put 20.000 km on it annually, using it for long & fast distance driving in Europe (France, Germany). Have the OE 19" winter wheels and will happily drive it through winter. It has also proven to be a surprisingly capable transport for my 35 kilo Weimaraner dog, in the back seat, where it seems that the ride and exhaust note immediately has a calming effect :)

Daily driver. 50 miles round trip. Bought in November 2017. Have 9,000 Miles trouble free. I drive a Fiesta ST if weather is moderately bad, and a truck if it snows. Other than extreme thirst for fuel, the car has been fabulous.

QV + FiST?!

You're my hero!

Fiesta ST is on my short list to own, love that car!

I'll keep my truck, QV is next in 2021 (maybe after mid-cycle refresh?), then a third car (if I'm lucky)...though I do also contemplate a NC/ND Miata.

The Fiesta is a brilliant little car. It's my first front driver, and the chassis is brilliant. Come to ABQ and give it a proper test drive!
 
What's ABQ?


Also, what truck?



Bought my first truck (Tundra) last year and I like it more than I thought...though I'll always need a fun car!


My Tundra is orange (Inferno Red) and that's always been my favorite color on the Fiesta ST (Molten Orange)!

Sorry, Albuquerque, NM (score one for lost1750GTV!)
Truck is a 2011 F350 with the powerstroke
I also love the molten orange. My ST is the magnetic grey.

Nope. It is so low on the ground that it gets tricky to park it w/o bumping into curbs. So I only take it out when I know where I'm going and know where I have plenty of space to park it away from things.
