    GTS-t as daily driver?

    Well guys, I'm S12 owner who is wanting to get a GTR sometime...but for now it out of my price range. I've been looking at my options...and I think that a GTS-t is quite obtainable for me.

    Now, I want to have it as a daily driver...no big HP coming out of this thing. So I figure starting stock is the way to go.

    What do you guys think? Is the RB20DET a realible engine? Can it go 200,000 KMS with out anything major going on it? Also, I like the look of the 4 door units...thinkin about going that way.

    Tell me what you think and what experiences you have had.

    Any car is a good daily driver if you take proper care of it.

    If a car can't deal with daily use, then it shouldn't be on the road.

    If I could afford having a GTST along with a GTR I wouldn't be afraid to use the GTST as a Daily Driver (for the summer).. I've seen a few up close and they are very decent cars, they feel very well and have enough power to have fun during the boring everyday routine. I've seen some GTST's with over 300 000km's up for auctions so IMO as long as it was well cared for, you shouldn't have any major problems with it.. jsut keep in mind that they are 15y/o and some aprts can be a pain to find

    I wish I could afford to ditch my crappy Saturn and get a GTS-t for daily driver/ winter car when I go move back to Canada!

    I think it's a very good choice for a daily driver. Again you will need to find a mint one!
