I will be selling mine next month but I might have a buyer lined up already. Where are you located in PA?

I DD mine and bought it specifically for such. Much better gas mileage than my Yukon or my wifes Trailblazer when not on the giggle pedal too hard. And just as much fun as my Type R is with less issues and more comfort if you can believe it.

Ive had two evos now and both have been my daily driver. I must admit, the 03 Evo 8 was much more rough of a ride than my IX MR, but its not too bad, even with mods, so im sure youll be fine!

Love DD mine. Could use a cruise control. Love having the extra HP, suspension & braking on hand whether I use it or not. Bought mine new in Oct 06 & I've got 18K on it.

Mine's my DD. No complaints at all really. My job isn't far from home, so the gas guzzling doesn't affect me that much.

I would disagree with this. My 01' S2K was much more road compliant and comfortable then my present Evo IX. If you must DD it, make sure you get the MR Bilsteins at least...makes a world of a difference.

Are you sure you arent talking about a DeLorean? Or did you just make your evo able to travel back in time?

its the ISH' for daily driving; keep it in 2nd and 3rd the most for the boost but going hard into 4th may get the lag which gets you after a while but besides that car is awesome for speeding tickets!! lol; to tell you the truth it handles bumps beter than my friends CLS 500 (im talking abou tthe MR of course with the blistens)
