Its my daily driver, have no complaints. My 3rd RX7 is horrible on gas and loud so I prefer not to daily that. My 2012 Nissan Titan is not the greatest on gas and its big...Not as fun to drive as the Evo.

I daily drove my first 2 evos year round. Love it! My current one I dont, I hate rushing to put parts on and such. Since I dont drive it daily, I dont have to rush on getting parts on when I get them.

Sometimes I do hate that I dont drive it everyday, but in the winters, there is so much **** on road, I dont want it tearing the underside up. I do drive it pretty much every chance I get to in the summers.

She is a garage queen in the winter.

Well the wife drives the outlander DD and I drive my Evo daily 10 mile round trip to work.

All gonna change though once I find a beater SUV. At least the SUV will get better mileage than my evo.

2003 DD 121k (all seasons), stock turbo, clutch, tranny, block. Been on 25psi tune for 70k, no problems at all. The latest maintenance I did was a brake job. Never had a single issue even with the cams. I wish sometimes I had a more comforting car but I love my Evo. It's been the most reliable car I've owned. Mileage could be better but in my opinion if you get an Evo and worry about gas you shouldn't of got one in the first place!
