Yeah, especially where we live in the Bay Area here in CA, it's tough to beat a Focus or the likes in traffic. Plus you HAVE to have disc here - we have crazy drivers. That was the first thing I did. If I was working a 9-5 somewhere and had a 15mile or less commute that was with little or no stop and go traffic I'd feel fine about using the M100 for a daily. I do use it maybe 3 days of the week, but my mileage varies from 3 mi - 60mi a day depending on what I'm picking up or dropping off, and the traffic flow really effects my mileage with all the stop and go and in-town errands. So I'd say , depends on your commute...
