DD about 40K, purchased new in spring 2007,
mods: springs, poly bushings, TB exhaust, drop in, tune and don't laugh cruise

very comfortable on long trips, cruise works as long as there isn't much boost, a little harsh ride with the poly, wife complains a bit, but my only thought is maybe less exhaust noise

one minor accident, someone ran a 4 way stop and hit the right front, don't like 4 ways much now

It has been my daily driver since 2003. I may not put as many miles on it than most... only 83K on the odometer.

I had a 525i when I first got the evo and used the evo as a weekend car. sold the bmw. then i used my parents sequoia that sits at home as a dd...but I ended up hating not driving the car so I went back to using the evo as a daily

It's good to hear that a lot of you guys are DD your Evo's. I was contemplating whether to go back to my Civic and use my Evo as a weekend car.

Oh yes. Every single time I go somewhere, the EVO is the weapon of choice.
