Daily drive?

[jojackson4]

Can you use a cerb as a daily?

[scotty_d]

Yes but I would not want too

[jojackson4]

So going from a BMW 330d to a cerb not a good ideer(2brats) the bemer don't like the 2 miles a day and the st mpg is not a problem

[Bigadz]

Yeah wouldn't want to for many reasons, running during the winter and in mud slime on the roads is frankly not much fun and would be frustrating in the steady 50mph slog to work (for me at least) not to mention running costs on fuel. Just ordered a new 180hp leon diesel with all the toys and respectable performance, then come summer.....

Edit: just saw your 2 mile commute, that's too short, car wouldn't even get up to temp...

2 miles a day in a cerb would do it no good.

Your oil would be like Mayo with short runs as the guys have said, and the back seats are for very young Or storage, not much room at all back there,

But a cheap snotter and a cerb could work well

Thank you gents for your input

I use mine every day, got a bit tail happy this morning in the ice but the long wheelbase makes it easy to catch (actually made my son shout out "two hands on the wheel dad!")

My commute is 15 miles each way, mixture of a-roads, dual carriageway and back streets. For 2 miles, I'd just walk.

[jamieduff1981]

As per many above I wouldn't want to. It would really take the shine off the car and highlight everything it's not so good at, whilst allowing you to exploit none of the benefits.

[Flatplane8]

Yes. If you like that sort of thing (and I do).

[gruffalo]

I don't have to use mine as a daily as I have other cars but I frequently choose to, even when it is raining or cold and dark.

It does not diminish the sence of occasion every time I press the button and the old girl explodes into life, and I have yet to arrive at my destination without a smile on my face.

[TimJM]

I used my last cerb as a daily for nearly three years on a 15ish mile each way commute (if I went direct which was rare).

Wonderful car and every day it made me smile.

I dare anyone to try and drive a Cerb for 2 miles only

Be careful as new regulations come into force as from February. Quote from Gov website document:

Legal requirements and the MoT test

From February 2014 the inspection of the exhaust system carried out during the MoT test will include a check for the presence of a DPF. A missing DPF, where one was fitted when the vehicle was built, will result in an MoT failure.

A vehicle might still pass the MoT visible smoke emissions test, which is primarily intended to identify vehicles that are in a very poor state of repair, whilst emitting illegal and harmful levels of fine exhaust particulate.

It is an offence under the Road vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (Regulation 61a(3))1 to use a vehicle which has been modified in such a way that it no longer complies with the air pollutant emissions standards it was designed to meet. Removal of a DPF will almost invariably contravene these requirements, making the vehicle illegal for road use. The potential penalties for failing to comply with Regulation 61a are fines of up to £1,000 for a car or £2,500 for a light goods vehicle.

I'm pretty sure the DPF get so hot inside it kind of vaporises whatever is in there. At least that's what I've been led to believe - could all be bks of course
