i do use it as a daily.

traffic can be harsh sometimes, especially trying to not ride the clutch, but you know how that goes...

on long trips, recaros are great for the first few hours, but then you find yourself really needing a good stretch...

seating is very comfortable for all passengers. (unless you're actually driving the car! )

Semi daily driver, so far so good. After I get my xede setup I think it will be still reliable as I will have a microatx pc case sitting in the car to change maps on the fly. Im still scared of theives and vandalism so I get real paranoid when I park in the open even though I have a 2 way alarm. As far as tickets go, I only had 1 warning so far since I got the car, and I want to keep it that way until I hit 25yo.

I picked up a truck this fall so I don't have to drive it through the nasty MI winters. The car wouldn't bother me if I had to drive it every day though. But I have my bike and evo now to choose from on the nice days.

For now. I plan to get a big van, like School of Rock style, to help keep "boring-a$$ drive-to-class miles" off my Evo. if that makes any sense at all...

Had the car for almost 7 months now and only 2000 miles. I hate the mid-west. Cold roads and stock tires don't mix.

I drive over 200 miles each day to work and back and I love every single one of them. I can't think of another car I would rather make a commute like that in.
