I DD mine, but wish I had something else so that I didn't put so many miles on the EVO. 22K miles this last year.

My evo is my daily driver. It's the perfect all around car! Great on the street (practical, good looking), great on the track (good power, awesome brakes, factory oil cooler) and great in the snow!

Can't beat that!

Daily driving mine for 4 years now. Almost 70k miles. No major problems besides the clutch. We all know how that goes.

I daily drive mine. Over 5,000 miles on the motor. To be completely honest, the only complaints I have are my own fault.

I with the exhaust didn't drone as much at 70+ mph.

I wish I chosen a different set of front brake pads. The CL6's are freaking amazing but it sounds like I'm murdering the tin man every time I come to a light.

I used to drive my fun car all the time but it stopped being fun and then I wanted to always spend money on it to make it feel fun again. And daily driving puts unbelievable wear and tear on your (At least mine).

I'll say I can daily my car if I wanted but I choose to keep it as fresh as possible. Less miles.....keeps the driving experience fresh.
