My m8 conv is my daily and i live in staten island NY. I had my M8 conv as my daily for a year now and i can tell you it is a great daily. As mentioned previously it has dual personality
It can be comfy and quite and at the same time fast and with decent exhaust sound when needed. It has all the tech and it is really comfy on bumps. I used this whole winter but of course with winter tires and it handled all the situations with ease and the ground clearance is very decent amd no traction issues at all .
I can say the only downside is the rear seats (only good for kids) and the cold start is loud (ur neighbors will love u and will know when u go to work everyday🤪
. It is a regular M8 but i have the comp exhaust.
Hope that helps
