How Many Miles On Your EVO X
Right now I have a 2003 Mini Cooper S to take care of the daily duties and a 2003 Mustang Cobra for fun.
I had a 2006 Apex Silver EVO IX and sold it back in 2007.
Well a few years later I am looking at getting into another EVO. I was thinking of getting rid of my Cooper S and Cobra for a 2010 EVO X GSR SSS in white. My concern is the miles that I will be putting on the car. I will average between 22,000-25,000 miles a year. Simple math after roughly 5 years the car will have around 110,000-125,000 miles.
How are your EVO X's holding up? Ofcourse I will do the regular maint. work, just not too sure about the realibility as my last IX was not my daily driver.

My Odometer is reading around 15,700... Only had it for a little tho... Your best off keeping one of those cars tho and using them whenever you go on long trips to put miles on

It'd obviously make sense to put miles on a car that is cheaper to maintain (tires don't last all that long on these 
I was actually thinking about getting a Mini Cooper S like you have for my daily.

Yeah i hear what all you guys are saying. I know the tires don't last, I got 8K out of my EVO IX.
The Cobra has 32,000 miles while the mini has 108,000 miles. Mini has been damn good to me and I enjoy driving the car.
The smart thing to do would be to keep both as I own the mini, but since when do I do the smart thing.

I do my oil change every 4 000 km and treat her like a baby for the rest of the maintenance. A1. I am over 25 000 km and no issues at all. Great car. The only thing, oem tires are finish... I did about 16 000 on those since I have put winter tires last winter.
One thing for sure... It's not for sale...
