Mostly used for commuting a 30 mile round trip, a third of which is motorways (M6 & M5)
More interestingly, about two weekends a month it becomes a "Radio Car", mostly on special stage rallies but over the last year has been out on the British Off Road Championship and National Hill Rally championship. It has also been out to two day motorcycle enduros and the occational fun run. Almost all these outings are on Forestry Commision tracks, MOD land and the occasional quarry.
More information: http://www.streetlymotorclub.co.uk/one/
It also does a little Green Laning (latest outing vids/pics here

towing, carrying tools and general driving everywhere.
Having done 25k in 6months in my 2.8 ive nothing but praise.
I overdo it on the maintenance but i suppose spend a little, live a lot.

I will use mine for towing a caravan, 23 foot long, plus the missus, 2 kids and 2 dogs.
I ran a caravan rally last year over may bank holiday and used my older fronty to pull alsorts out of the mud just outside caernarvon. Gave me great joy pulling a brand new Nissan x-trail with his caravan on the back across a field he couldnt get across

this is my only vehicle but i bought it because the areas where i shoot nocked the hell out of my car although it's a little expensive to run ,there is loads of room in it , plus if god forbid i have a crash in it i stand a bit better chance in it than in a car

I got the fronty because we have recently enlarged the family to +1 and so needed something bigger than my pug. It is getting used for everything at the mo and is an amazingly versatile vehicle. I'm hoping to give it a try on the muddy stuff soon though.
Very impressed with the car though!!!

There should be an option of "all of the above".
seriously, I use mine for commuting, off-road, camping, towing, and to travel also.
