Default Everyday driving car

I'm lookin for this car to be driven everyday for personal needs(Going to school, work, errands, and etc.) what do you guys think of it. I'm probably not going to put any thing to make it go faster. It comes fast enough stock for me. The only reason I would put new parts is to fix or make work better. But what do you guys think of this car being my everyday car.

This is what I'm kinda lookin for in my camaro
V6, coupe, manual trans, 1998-2000 mostly stock, under 50k

Sounds good but how much money do you want to spend?

They are amazing daily drivers but for someone like me, who is obsessed with keeping my 2001 SS in good condition then ... its a ***** sometimes cause first of all i never want to drive it . and its alot of pain keeping them super clean when u live in Virginia. But other that than yeah they are great cars. and not to bad MPG V8 or V6

They have good gas milage, very reliable, little hard to change the spark plugs on the v6 when the tune up comes around. As long as there isn't a lot of snow, it's an excellent daily driver. I have a modded out project Camaro, but I have a 2.2L inline 4 Chevy s10 to haul parts and it's great on gas. DEFNIATELY not fast but it gets me from point A to point B safely.

If you want to use it as a reliable daily driver, keep it stock, give it proper maintenance, and it will serve you well. Keep good tires on it, as these cars are not the best rain and snow machines around.

I drive a 99 camaro v6 w/ 37k. Got it for $7500, it's completely mint (the guy I got it from only drove it 2000 miles in 2 years) and makes a very good daily driver. Had it since february 1st 06' and hasn't had any problems yet. Plus it looks nice parked next to all the hondas and toyotas at school and work. The only problem is it absolutely sucks in the snow, you have to drive really slow. Otherwise it's definently worth it. Hope this helps.

It will be a good daily driver for you. Just remember it always comes down to the driver when you talk about wear and tear and whatnot.
