moogle, having driven the SL , its very easy to drive and perfectly suited for everyday driving
Perhaps dpds upon where one lives/how car used for daily driving...
Recently drove G SL....and though improved vs then-new G I had (and drove some 3K mis) some ?3-4yrs ago....found G SL utterly useless for daily use in SF region....major ground clearance issues on steep hills/inclines; weak mid-range tq; sloppy egear; poor brake pedal feel; lackluster stability (even at <100MPH) on bumpy, hilly, dense-traffic fwys; poor visibility for rapid lane changes in traffic/on steep hills.....
Suspect anyone who has used 599 as a daily commuter and wkend car will scoff at many alleged sportscars' claims of daily-useability....and relevance of pseudo-quantitative/pseudo-precise/manipulated (non-street tires, etc etc) NBR times vs actual, qualitative, subjective perf/precision/safety in hands of an amateur owner/driver on urban/suburban public roads where these cars are typically used....
