any regrets as having a C5 or C5 Z06 as a daily driver? I am beating my brains as to getting one but still a little uncertain , driving will be half city half hw miles so mpg should be decent.

I had a 2002 C5Z as a DD for a couple of years, loved it. My biggest fear was always getting damage from other cars in the parking lot but other than that I always looked forward to my commute in that car. I would put it away sometime between Thanksgiving and Xmas.

The C5Z can be used as an excellent daily driver. Just not in the winter time, lol. On the highway I have gotten as much as 35mpg. Tho the average is more like 32mpg or so. Great car that is fast, dependable and get damn good gas mileage.

I have daily driven my 2000 coupe for 18 months now. Love it. 70 miles a day, 5 days a week.

It could be used as a daily drive until the winter comes around, but I chose not to.

I would love to drive mine more often but it is an inconvience sometimes because some of the places I go I don't trust to leave my car sit, it's not even the area, it's just random ******* kids that can't have something nice so they destroy other peoples ****.

I had my car keyed on a college campus, where noone even knew me.

If I ever caught someone in the act of doing that to someones car...man would it be bad

My 02 Z is my only car. Only downsides as a DD are ground clearance issues, you have to be wary of crappy entrances off the road, speed bumps, etc. Also as others mentioned I also don't like parking the car someplaces, kinda cringe leaving it in Walmart or grocery store parking lots, etc. But the car itself is good to go as a DD IMO.

I wouldn't buy one as the only vehicle, i drive my truck when it rains. The drag radials like to float a little on standing water. And trunk space can be limiting depending on what you need. But besides rain i daily drive mine. Its great.

Ive daily driven my cammed c5z for about a year now. Put close to 15-20K within that year. Not something you want to drive everyday, DEPENDING on where you live.

Get the car I drive my 2008 c6 as a daily driver. I drive it to work rain or shine. Its a car enjoy it.

A base C6 vs a C5Z is a totally different driving experience. I think it's pretty obvious that a C6 will be a better daily driver than a C5Z, but the OP was asking if the C5Z was a good daily driver - which it is.
