After my current lease is up. I'm really looking to buy a Cobra for myself. My commute to work is 6 miles round trip, and I wouldn't have to sit in traffic. What are some issues that come up with these cars? Are there any preventative measures to take when deciding to daily one of these cars?

Normal maintainence in an unmolested car imo.

I recently switched accounts and somehow they got linked and I never saw notifications. But yes, after reading through those comments I see mixed reviews. Some people say that aside from regular maintenance they can be reliable. Thanks for your reply on the other post, I thought that one was lost once I swapped accounts.
They can be pretty much as reliable as most other high performance cars, but the more you mod the motor the lesser it can sometimes function reliably as a daily driver. Not in every case, of course. Generally if you perform minimal mods (ie. intake, exhaust, a smaller upper pulley (max boost around 14 lbs.), and a safe tune, you can drive it regularly. Factors such as the age of the car, quality of mods, quality of installation, engine mileage, general maintenance, etc., play into it, too. The clutch is stiff so stop and go traffic can be hard on your leg muscle. LOL. While I owned my '03 Cobra (had those minimal mods above for most of its life with me) I pretty much drove the car daily except during the months of December - March. But of course it was newer at that time, too.

I daily cobra, yes its reliable, but i wouldnt choose it. maybe since its such a short ride yes.. but I prefer my mach 1...call me crazy!
Lol, he tried making like 3 new accounts too.
Here is my veiw of someone who just bought a cobra and wants to drive it all the time but I don't, as a daily car i wouldnt want to drive it everyday I drive 25 miles all highway and as much as I love to drive the cobra I have a newer fusion I'd rather drive the fusion most of the time and enjoy the cobra on weekends and once in awhile go to work in it. I have basic bolt on upgrades. Just more relaxing and like cobra Bob said if you do have traffic the clutch is stiff.

Drive every day and love it! Hated the seats so I took some recaros out of an Evo X and it's perfect for my height. I drive about 60 miles round trip a day. No problems so far after 5k miles of ownership and it puts a smile on my face every time I turn the key. :thumbsup:
We got that figured out real quick. Sort of confusing the way that it links accounts together. I just didn't want my full name as a username, sort of weird imo.

I can only imagine. I'd like to just be excited every time I need to drive somewhere.

Just having a repair put the car in the shop. I guess worst case scenario is I ride a bike to work
This is brilliant!
