Can You "Daily Drive" the WRC Hyundai i20?

What would it be like to "daily" the WRC Hyundai i20? Alborz Fallah of CarAdvice shows us how impractical a WRC from the mall, to KFC, and back home.

Most WRC cars are meant to be launched hard, have rough terrain for surface and traction, and co-drivers for navigational notes. This is none of those things. Watch Mr. Alborz Fallah attempt to start, drive, and "daily" use the WRC Hyundai i20

I greatly enjoyed the part where the host tries to narrowly grab a small bucket (box) of KFC through the air vents in the plexiglass windows. These are solely for use for fresh air intake for the driver, and pressurization of the cabin to keep the dust out. Pretty hilarious.

I thought the most interesting parts were "normies" trying to guess the monetary value of the car. Although the film is in Australia, the monetary value guesses of the car of for the most part wildly off. The car is actually valued at $750,000 AUS but many people guess $150-250,000 AUS.

Thoughts? What was your favorite part? How long would it take you to start a professional rally / Red Bull GRC RallyCross / WRC car?
