Had mine just under 2 years. Currently @ 44000 miles
The car runs as strong as it did @ 5000 miles. No major problems, Still on original clutch, brakes, shocks etc.

Only work on it has been oil changes and tires

Mine's a DD also, if i could afford it i'd have a beater and just bring the Evo out on the weekends. I'm surprised how many ppl DD theirs also, but then again they're built solid for a reason. I believe you have a certain kind of respect & connection w/your Evo that makes around 400whp, can take to the road coarse AND drag strip, pack in 4 of your friends, and still drive it to work everyday. I luv it!

My 05 is my dd. My toy is a 93 Rx-7 single turbo.

Made a deal with my step son, if he sells his 01 VW GTI GLX VR6 for 11k or more, he can have the evo. He is DYING to sell the VW now Buying a house this month so 3 car payments are a bit much to carry.

For now my Evo is my dd with just over 5k miles. I plan on getting a beater sometime before winter hits so I won't have to drive my car through the salt.
