Going back to the original title of the thread, asking if the car is good for everyday use, whilst I do not use mine for everyday transport, I can attest that when it rains, the lower body remains quite dry whilst on the move, except that water will blow back and over the outer side of the scuttle and down onto the outside of your right leg, making it quite wet after time. Obviously a good waterproof jacket is a must though.

Just thought I'd share that little nugget with you all.
