the cars on these posts are usually breaking because we like to see how much boost we can get before we get some audible knock. 
i bought an 87 GN about a year ago and i first thought that i would not be able to drive it everyday just because of how it acted when i first purchased it. soon found out that it needed a tune up real bad, had a huge crack in the driver side manifold, needed a new ignition module and crank sensor. now it runs almost perfect (has a little bit of a rough idle when the car is started back up when it is still warm). sometimes i will drive it for a week every day and sometimes its parked for a whole week. my car is about to hit 160,000 original miles and it drives better than most of my buddies vehicles. i wouldnt be scared to drive it cross country if i had too. if all the little things are working (ignition parts and such) on the car than it is a good and fun car to drive around everyday.

Depends on what you call tempermental and how much "performance" driving you intend to do daily.
I drove mine daily for 17 years now, and it was totalled in 1995.
Low miles however only 156K.
If you never intend to get a service manual or work on the car often: such as lubes, oil changes, plugs and wires, and minor electrical stuff, it isn't a good daily driver.
Car won't work up to it's potential without that attention and vigilant maintenance.
It's not like a 150 hp beater that you don't care what's working or not on it.
