Mine is a daily driver year round, it's the only car I have.
But unlike most of you in the northern hemisphere I have zero problems with cold, snow, ice or road salt, I have lived in Adelaide all my life (60+ years) and I have never seen snow here. So I don't have to worry about winter tyres, super slippery roads, holing the car up for the winter etc etc. The biggest worry I have is parking the car on the street or out in the open in summer where the in-car temp can reach 60 or 70 degrees C after a couple of hours, so I avoid that as much as I can.

The only think I park for snow is motorcycles. I've cycled in snow, but not by choice, at least not anymore. I'm getting old. I attempted my driveway once in snow and it did not go well. That said, it's a rare occurrence here, and usually lasts no more than a few hours. We're either washing away with rain or on fire here in California.
Anyway, back to your question: I also use mine all year. I even use it for hauling stuff, as much as that is possible. It's well documented that I am not sensible.

V8S daily driver here in the NE (CT) even when it’s bitterly cold 5 to 10F with RWD and MPS4S. Only stays indoors when it snows / there is salt on the ground. I have a Range Rover Sport for those days which is my wife’s primary vehicle.
Life is too short to not drive your sports car in all but extreme conditions.
