    My 818s is my daily driver in everything but snow and heavy rain. I put the soft top on when it's cold, and have driven it at temps in the 20s. I'm not comfortable hauling my kids in it, so I leave it at home on days that I have to pick them up.

    In the winter, I wear a coat, hat, gloves, and sometimes a scarf. On warm days I leave the top at home as long as there's no threat of rain.

    The stock suspension seems fine to me on commuter roads, and I've raised the suspension enough to get me over all the speed bumps and road joints between work and home.

    I imagine a coupe would be even more practical as a daily driver.

    Of course, I used to be happy commuting on a motorcycle at least 3 seasons a year (and in the winter when it was dry). Any 818 is going to be more comfortable than a bike for daily driving.
