I am curious as to how many folks will be using their Emira as a daily driver. Mine will be used by either me or my wife as a daily driver but we do have a Tesla (my company car) that we share as well that will be used for shopping and taking the bikes out etc.

I will be.
I currently use my Evora as my daily drive, but I need to give it a rest and some TLC.

Emira on order
Not really, this will be the final car in the 3 car garage. My wife dailies an RS3 and I have the family wagon (330d Xdrive estate) for family and dog duties. The Emira will get used regularly though as I like to go out for a drive a couple of times a week when weather permits and in the RS3 that is quite often. Road trips and spirited driving outings will be shared between the RS3 and the Emira as will weekends away when we have babysitters.

Defo daily drive 🙌 grafted hard to
Enjoy this coming from a 2019 C63s daily which I sold 4 weeks ago and I’m missing the fun on the way to work all ready ! Roll on next year 👌🏽

I'll continue to use my MK7 GTI as a daily, but I rarely even drive that these day. Usually take the wife's GLI when we run errands. I plan to drive the Emira as much as possible.

Not sure yet. But it will get regular use regardless. Shares time with a few other cars that are fun for me. Plus, I’m hesitant about other people that aren’t careful in parking garage where I work. I’m pretty fastidious about my cars.

Not planning to use the Emira as a daily driver. As I am likely going for the V6 manual - not ideal for busy London driving and the fuel consumption will not be great. Save it for those special drives out.

Will likely retain my Alpine A110. Smaller car which is easier to manoeuvre and park, smooth DCT for stop-start driving and great fuel consumption for a daily driver. The froot/ frunk is actually very convenient for daily use. And its a great drive too ;-) Little spoilt for choice there but that will likely win as the daily driver.

Will be the third car so naturally not used as often as others (E450 coupe for long drives and a Tacoma for the muck and fun activities). Clearly won't use in any bad weather but I don't plan on over-babying it either. Lots of little grocery runs, ice cream.. hell, I'm sure I'll come up with excuses for errands just to drive it.
