What Makes a Car a Daily Driver?

 When you sit down and think about it, we're all collectors of something. Some of us collect toys, trophies, and some of us collect cars. While the latter out of that list is arguably one of the most expensive types of collecting, we can't deny that we love to see it. Collecting cars is an amazing passtime and ongoing project that we at Toyota of Orlando fully endorse. But, you might be wondering how you should treat the items in your collection now that you have them. Do you drive them? Preserve them? Modify them? And which one becomes your daily driver? How do you decide? 

If you're racking your brain wondering how to decide on your daily driver car, Toyota of Orlando is here to help! Check out our commentary on what makes a daily driver right here. 

Deciding on the Car You'll Drive Every Day

Deciding on the vehicle you want to use as your Orlando daily driver can be difficult. This is going to be the vehicle you count on each day to take you to and from work, to the grocery store, and wherever else you need to go throughout your day. It's going to be the vehicle that you'll likely spend the most time with and that will accumulate the most mileage. When deciding on your day car, there are a few things you should keep in mind: 

Fuel Efficiency

A good Orlando Toyota daily driver car should have moderate to excellent fuel efficiency. Because you'll likely be putting a high amount of miles and driving this vehicle for many miles at a time you'll want to make sure you can get the most mileage for your fuel cost. A vehicle like the Corolla, Camry, and Prius are excellent options for maximizing fuel efficiency. 

Comfort

Your daily driver should also be comfortable to drive in for miles and miles. This means cushy seats, newer technology you can take advantage, available convenience features, and a healthy suspension system that can cushion the blow from the road. You'll likely not find these various comforts in a classic car or a rally-grade vehicle like the Orlando Yaris Hot Hatch. 

Resilience

When it comes to your daily driver car, it has to be one that you don't necessarily care about when it comes to small damages. The road is full of hazards like debris, other drivers, and more and the last thing you want is to scratch the custom paint job you sprang for on your highly coveted classic Orlando Toyota car. While the goal isn't to litter your daily driver with scratches and dents, you should drive a vehicle every day that you don't mind if it gets slightly damaged. 

Consider Your Personal Needs

Like with any vehicle (unless you're collecting, in which case it doesn't really matter) you should always consider your personal needs from your vehicle. Do you need an Orlando daily driver that just needs to get you from one point to another? Do you need it to tow large loads? Do you need to transport more people than just yourself? Whatever the case may be, you should always take your vehicular needs into consideration when deciding on which vehicle you're going to be driving every day.
