Daily driven in the PINAS?!

I'm so frikkin happy with my evo and I love every minute of it as long as it's atleast over 40 kph. hehe....

I traded my gen3 paj a/t for an evo ix and want this to be my daily driven car but I realise that I'm gonna slowly kill my car in stop and go traffic that's slower than walking pace.

anyone here uses their evos as their primary car in manila traffic? I have no complaints
on the ride comfort as the stock shocks are pretty soft and comfy. hehe.... it's having to use up more clutch than usual.

Should I daily drive my evo?

My evo is my daily driver, track car, winter sleigh, airport pick-up, grocery and delivery.

Don't know about manila traffic, maybe at night drive it crazy, but during work hours.. damn. Keep the a/t for the daily driving and take the Evo out at night. sheeeet, if you can afford the Evo you can afford a driver to drive you around, pare.
