Exotics seem to have a bad wrap for high maintenance costs, unreliability, etc. Which current (or past) exotic is reliable and car potentially be a good daily driver?

Can't even think of a euro exotic that is considered reliable. Maybe a Lotus Elise or Exige?

My neighbor utilizies his Gallardo as his DD, only when it's dry outside. He hasn't had any problems, yet.

Lamborghini's in general, seem very reliable; the more you drive them, the more reliable they are.

I was talking to a tech over at Lake Forest Sports Cars about a year or two ago and he said as far as driving it daily, and of all the cars he has in and out of the shop, he said go with a Porsche. At the time I was there he had 3 Ferraris and Diablos in to have O2 sensors replaced because the owners never took them over 4k rpm and they fail or throw a code. What is the first thing they do to try and get the code to go off? Rip it up north on RT41 to about gurnee and come back. He said most of the time...it does the trick lol
