I think you guys have a far different idea of "Daily Driver" than I 
do.   Roll cage? 3 Mile Commute?   Tossability?    Auto-X Performance?

For my daily driver I'm weighing in comfort and distance.  120 miles a 
day driven, mostly at 75mph+, but with 10-20 minutes of bumper-to-bumper 
and at least one "slow down from 75 to 15 in a hurry" a day.   The MK2 
was fun to drive as a toy (which seems to be what you guys are talking 
about), I loved it for the two or three cloverleaves I could find a day, 
but then the droning, rattling, wind noise, and broken interior 
everything sucked for the flat long high way stretches.    Note that I 
did not recommend a MK3,  but having owned both at the same time (last 
year), I *would* recommend a MK3 over a MK2 as a Daily Driver.    

I myself have it all a little backwards and have a MK3 as a street+track 
car and my CQ as my DD  :)
