Not a GS but a 4200 Classico. It was my daily driver and was used in all weathers for my 30 mile daily commute for over 10 years and 100k miles until I changed jobs 2 years ago. The journey into work comprised mainly of quiet A roads, which would have suited a GS perfectly. The snow was a bit of a problem but apart from that it was fine.Just wondering if there’s anyone on here who either uses, or has used, a GS as a daily driver and what their thoughts/experiences were of it, for that purpose?
Yep, depressingly that low I “may” get another, probably Oct/Nov time, or maybe early spring.I would not want to use my GS as a daily driver.
It’s a lovely car, but the ride is very firm, and (depressingly) prices in the UK are seriously sensitive to mileage... so your casual daily pop to the shops would end up costing way more than it should, and wouldn’t be super comfortable...
For me they are best reserved as a toy, and something to enjoy occasionally.
Yours is a particularly lovely example and I can see why you might be mileage and price sensitive about it.I would not want to use my GS as a daily driver.

It is!..............I used mine as a daily for over 3 years for a 4 mile trip into work on roads that were 40 and 30 mph and it had no problem with it at all. Every now-and-again I would take it up the motorway to blow away the cobwebs just to be on the safe side.Its doable but i found that with time the car will get very cumbersome for a daily driver, its a bit stiff and the seats are hard and the transmission is a bit jerky. The GS is a car that likes to be driven fast and hooned so daily driving it can be frustrating.
I think a manual 4200 will be perfectly fine however.
