Daily driven right now, but that may change if the job situation does too. Much longer driving distance so having a beater that's easy on gas, brakes, and tires would be a lot nicer to have.

That's what I'm worried about DD my Evo. I don't mind minor problems here and there but hundreds?! Hopefully, it's because you just played with your car too much.

Daily Driven....I'm about to hit 140K

I have enjoyed it as a daily driver for 7 years now. On longer trips I get a little uncomfortable with the Recaros and drone of my exhaust....but that's about it.

DD'ed my first evo, 2003 GSR.

Sold it for my 2003 BMW 325i (cold weather package). Super comfy car, but toooo comfy haha

So I bought another 2003 GSR with coilovers and am DDing that again.

Once my Evo 6 is done I will be driving it daily. In retrospect it is much more practical than my ZX6R, which I have been riding to work for almost a year now.

Ive daily driven mine for almost 3 years now. I think about getting a beater just because, but anytime I drive any other car, I always think to myself "I wish I was in the Evo, then Id ect..." So I would end up taking the fun car most of the time anyway! Not always the most comfortable car though, ill admit


^lol @ shattered-4g63

I dd my evo because it is such a fun car and does everything kinda well. It is very fun and fills a certain void. However, after owning a BMW and Evo X, the CT9A is not a great dd.
