I used my car as a daily driver for the first 4 years I owned it. This was in Southern California. I would put up the top if I thought it was going to rain which in Southern California wasn't very often. If it was a light rain I would often just drive it without a top since the rain goes over the top until you stop. As far as comfort, I find the car seats comfortable. The problem with driving the car for an extended time is the heat, noise and wind. The last long trip I drove the car 350 miles in one day. It was in the summer with temperatures in the 90's and my wife almost had a heat stroke. She told me no more long trips especially in the summer. By the way when I used the car as a daily driver I was in my 20's. I wouldn't do it now that I'm in my 60's.
