Does it make sense to use a mini as a daily driver

[Vinay-RS]

So this forum has been relatively quiet so I decided to create a thread on a topic that I've heard conflicting views about:

Does it make sense to use a mini everyday to get you to and from work in traffic (or motorway driving) and do you use your mini(s) daily. Does it make the commute to work more interesting and fun, or more stressful and tiring?

I'll start: I typically don't drive everyday so I don't know much about how a mini is to drive everyday in traffic, although I've started using the mini more regularly.
