I don't daily drive my car, so I can't really give you useful commentary on the daily reliability. I know my starter's going, so every now and again (when it's warm) you've gotta give her a minute to get ready. Not something I'd want to deal with running late to work (or school). But this is a 17 year old car...
One thing I do know is that the thing's deadly in the rain. I shudder to imagine it in the snow (having spun out my share of older RWD Buick Torque-Monsters). I just don't have the discipline to stay out of the gas enough to not spin the tires.
That being said, the TR is probably the awesomest car I will ever own. 95% of the time it's perfect. Roomy, smooth ride, and power to lay waste to almost anything. But I wouldn't wanna drive it daily to work ALL the time. I like the suggestion put forth about getting a second car. If you have room for two cars, and about $7k to spend, you can get a very cool TR for $6k and pick up an old S-10 or something for bad weather/daily grind stuff.
Good luck and welcome aboard! My friend would agree with you, he's got an LT-1 Camaro. It's been more trouble than my GN for sure. And needless to say I'm the faster one Good luck, we hope to welcome you to THE DARK SIDE!
