Evo a daily driver?

Hi all,
Just thinking about gettin a new Evo soon. I would be using it for all of my driving.
How does it handle day to day use? Just in general?

Just great! Even if you heavily mod it will still be a good daily driver.

It's brilliant. Ride can be a bit harsh but 1) you get really used to it really quickly, 2) it's worth it for 'yellow light cornering'

A couple mods and you will be king of the streets, until a further mod'd evo finds you.

I use mine as a daily driver, have no problems yet. Gas mileage is a pain though, sacrafices for a great car.

EVO has been my daily driver for about 2 years now, 60 miles a day! I'm still loving every minute of it.

With the MR, daily driving is no issue at all. I can't speak for the non-MRs, since they are apprently much stiffer, but with the Bilsteins, the MR is smooth and easy on the bones.
