You've got to look at how far you'll drive and how often per week. Doing dailies for 6 days on.......can you do and hour each way and still have quality of life? If you will be coming to work once a week on average, then driving or commuting several or many hours is in order. What I would suggest is if you have a free choice, don't be too quick to consign a large part of your week to commuting or driving- better to have a poorer home and quality and time for yourself in life rather than burning up motorways for 15+ hours a week which is totally 'wasted', non-productive and tiring time out of your life. You may be able to get a better home far away, but you will have MANY hours to ask yourself if it's worth it (and think of the early starts, and expense...petrol, cars, wear & tear on you as well as the car).
