'18 Mustang GT Vert, '17 C7 Z06, '19 BMW X5
I have been DD my '18 GT Vert since I got it, a little over a month ago. My sunny day car is a '17 Z06 and I find myself not taking it out much at all since getting the Mustang.

It is very DD friendly but if I had to critique it I would fault it for; poor gas mileage (note the amount of smiles is inverse to gas mileage), small back seats and a small trunk opening.

2018 Mustang GT 10spd Base
My 15 was a weekend toy. I could not stand making that car payment and looking at it under a car cover all the time. 10k miles in 2 1/2 years of having it. Once the 10spd came out it pushed me over the edge. All the engine improvements and 10spd pushed me to trade in the 15 and pick up an 18. I sold my 07 TL daily and used that money to help with the purchase and beginning mods. I now daily my 18 and couldn't be happier. It is such a joy to drive this car every day and enjoy it instead of keeping it under a cover for the occasional weekend drive. I have put 1500 miles on it in about 3 weeks and it has been perfect so far. I still can't believe the fuel mileage the new car gets. My 15 PP was lucky to get 21-22 if I babied it to work and back (80 miles). The 18 has been holding down 25mpg driving normally! Still getting around 23mpg with some spririted driving thrown in the mix. Love this car!!

If you're averaging 25mpg in a A10 GT, you're driving it like a Prius.
Its been cold and rainy and I'm just going back and forth to work 40 miles each way. This is with normal driving without doing any "pulls". To get 21-22mpg in my 15 PP I had to literally drive like a grandma purposefully never going over 2k rpm on any shift. When the weather is better and I get on it a bit here and there I still get 23-24mpg. I'm sure with more spirited driving and the occasional romp in Mexico the mileage would end up in the 20mpg area. Also I have just made the switch to e85 so I know it will be below 20mpg soon. LOL

My '15 GT PP w/Whipple......best average I've ever seen is 14.9mpg. I'm usually between 13-14mpg. I never once shifted below 2K rpm. I will never see 20mpg. Luckily I work from home don't commute in it...Lol.

Well mine isn't a DD, I have a company vehicle as my daily driver and they pay fuel, tolls and maintenance.

Got 88k on my 2015. Put a couple k on it this weekend, Ohio to New Orleans and back. Decent in the snow with 18" wheels & tires.
