I commute 90 miles a day.....with all types of traffic....from highway to local streets to bumper to bumper traffic. I love every second I'm in the car, and hate it when my commute is over. I love it so much that when I get home I still take her down a road by me called Tweed thats up one side of a mountain and down the other side, all twists and turns with only one straight for about 1/4 mile. And that's after I've been in the car for an hour or so driving 45 miles. I wouldn't give this car up for anything......no matter what the traffic. Driving in bumper to bumper traffic doesnt bother me.....just turn the radio on and everything things else is second nature.

IF your commute is really that short........leave earlier and take the long way to work!!!

Mine is about 19 miles each way. Mostly rural highways with some stop lights (speed limit 55) and a little bit on the freeway (speed limit 65) and little bit of regular streets. Takes me about 30 minutes door to door.

Can't complain since I used to live in LA several years ago and my 20 mile commute there would take between 1.5-2hrs

About 15miles and can take anywhere from 25min to an hour. I dont mind the traffic the clutch in the 10 is fairly soft so its not too frustrating. I have always driven Manuals though and So Cal is known for bad traffic

My new commute is driving approximately one mile to work or riding my bike.

Before that I had a 13 mile (15-20 min) highway commute and it was easy. Even in traffic the stock clutch is no problem.

About 5 miles one way. The majority of the driving is on a 35 mph road, but I go 45 mph on it.

There is one tiny slope at a light towards the end of it. It was a ***** stopping there during my first week of driving stick.
