Yeah Aquila I know loads of people use the S as an everyday car.
I actually dont mind using the beater for driving to work, and it is incredibly handy to have a motor which you really dont give a s**t about!!
8k on the beater a year is 8k OFF the S mileage.
(and the beater barely depreciates)
The 8k equates to (at least!!!) half a set of tyres, and also one whole service worth of mileage...
Another thing with a beater -parking isnt a considered choice, looking for wide parking spaces - its an absolute doddle.!
However, my reason for contemplating the idea of changing motors is really financial !!
After all is said and done, I may well keep it...... Will have to ponder this one very carefully.!

I got a Y plate with 4k on the clock for 12k just over a year ago....

The S IS everyday and practical
having owned mine since October 02 and just coming up to my 72k service, I am in a position to vouch for it's everydayness and prcticality
