[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16137392, member: 188865"] Think of it this way, only you can decide if the utility (or lackthereof) is worth the upside of dailying a 350. If someone asked me "can you daily drive a motorcycle" my response would be sure. If you're willing to deal with all the pro's and con's of it. I personally could not. But each person has different priorities and needs and desires. I think you'll find a tremendous difference between an IS and a GT350 in terms of utility and ease of use. Bumper to Bumper and stoplight driving in the 350 can be miserable. Getting in and out of the thing is a pain in the ass (wear and tear on the alcantara). Mileage on the highway isn't bad, but real mileage depending on how much you keep your foot in it can be bad to downright awful. Getting in and around parking garages and ramps stresses me out. Parking stresses me out (I'm not the only one who has to try to park WAY away from everyone or find the biggest open spot to avoid idiots and their door dings). The infotainment system is only adequate (I'm certain a step down from your IS depending on how old it is). I can't do conference calls or important calls in my 350. ANYWHERE. I'd say on a scale of 0-100, higher being better, the GT350 is at like a 20 in terms of utility, comfort, ease, etc. Couple of guys wanted to setup a cruise from Miami to Key West and my thoughts are "hell no." What a miserable drive in 45 mph the whole way with 100 stop lights for 3 hours. The only way I'd daily a mustang at this point is if it was an automatic, something I didn't stress over scraping the front end or getting it scratched, or being too loud to talk on the phone, etc, etc. [/QUOTE]
