Can I really use the Aston Martin Rapide as a daily driver?

I’ve been daily driving my Rapide for the last year, and it has surprisingly been very practical. It has decent trunk space for groceries and the four doors make it easy to get in and out. It's not as big as a regular sedan but a heck of a lot more usable than a regular sports car.
