Daily unless the wife's got a day off then I ride.

[jack]

As I work from home I'd say a weekender, unless I want to got go somewhere in style and comfort.

[TPC]

My wife uses it as her daily drive, have tried to convince her that we should get a little car for her to drive but she likes riding up high.
Don't know how long the clutch is going to hold out the way she drives though.

[Patrol-Guy]

Daily driver and wouldn't have it any other way.

[Gecko17]

Daily drive for me when I'm home otherwise my wife drives it... like a boss!

[GreyGU]

Daily!!! It chews more diesel than normal. Any ideas on what could be the problem?

Increased application of the gas peddle and friction peddle.. What are you getting around town??

Mine is a daily.. As much as I would like a weekend bus, it does allow early detection of issues and fix time before play time..

[nissannewby]

Mine is my daily, my weekender, my tourer, my tow rig and my toy :). Come on money start growing on trees so I can have one of each :)

Essentially a weekend toy, but the business owns it and it is used when we go to rural properties to work.
The Hiace van is good but doesn't like a wet farm track or paddock especially if the trailer is on.
The winch is mighty handy for hauling up 3 phase overhead cables too.

[Steve4wdin]

Daily, although I should peddle or walk. It would only 5min to walk. I am a lazy Bastard

[paulyg]

Not even weekends, just for 4 wheeling and touring.

[threedogs]

Like TPC I might buy a ute as my weekender and leave the GU for daily/touring duties. MOF can drive that
Don't like quarter panels, and not allowed to chop the back off the GU

[Wang]

Weekend and touring with the family. I've only had since just before Xmas and they weren't going to give us much for our ba fairmont ghia so we kept it for the missus to drive to the train station and shopping centre duties. So now I've got 2x 4wds. The patrol for family touring and a daihatsu rocky with a v6 for getting dirty and bashing around

[Evo]

Mostly set up for weekend/offroad/touring, but used as a daily...
:(

Evo

[Tonks]

Definately only for 4 wheeling & towing the boat or camper,
Dont want too many k's on the 4.2.

[happygu]

Mine is used as a Daily Driver.... love it

Mic

[fourj]

Weekender only, lucky enough to score a falcon ute for work 3 years ago. Gq's been for 4 wheeling only since.

[MyGU8]

Mine is daily, schooling office, lunch, back to office and back home.

I am still trialling to see Diesel economy....

I get around 600km off the main tank. It used to get about 750 off the main tank a few months ago. I service it regularly and driving style hasn't changed.

[Chris79]

Tried using a 4wd as a daily once, never again.

Guessing ac gets used little more over summer.
That's 6.6k/L, 15.5L/100 which imo is pretty good around town..

[megatexture]

The wife gets to drive ours .. And I get a ford bloody ranger gah they suck

[Winnie]

Not as bad as a 4 pot petrol Hilux.... hahaha.

[megatexture]

Had one of them last time and shattered the ring and pinion and punched a tooth through the diff lol oh and shocking for fuel lol

One good thing about the ranger is its so gutless I'm yet to get a ticket in it ... Touch wood

[boots]

We just got two new ones at work mega with the 3.2 in them , must say they have come a long way compared to the old model .

[Dales300exc]

Just the trip car really. Doesn't get driven much.

[warner01]

being built to be a daily bus to replace current ford sedan. will be like a swiss army knife and do everything with it.

[my third 256]

[Avo]

[NewDan]

Dan

[89gqpatrol4x4]

weekender and occasional trip to work, Hopefully I can spot any troubles before we're miles away.

[bigfut]

weekender for me. Company car during the week

[my third 256]

Would you want to drive her Sportage?
yes as it saves my fuel

[jackwalks]

My GU is a daily driver. Living in Townsville, I need something big to play with the local yocals. Average about 750-800km on main tank, with the warning light kicking in at about 700k mark. Anyone know how far you can travel once the low fuel light is on.

[SonOf]

Daily driver, do a 152km round trip each work day so like the comfort and with all the wildlife on our roads it add a little safety to.

[Lemo79]

Ours is the wife's daily, I don't get to drive it during the week. Often I even have to move "my"(as she calls it) V6 RA rodeo so she can drive the patrol 1.6 kms to the shops.

[Mrs Possum]

I drive my gu everyday to work.
