Your Post

I Think putting that many miles on an MR or any EVO is ok, but not sensable. The Civic would be a much more practical Commuter than the EVO, plus your payment would be cheaper, insurance would be cheaper and gas. Factor all that in and the civic pays out. The new Si is very nice car, nothing to complain about there. The EVO has more space, so if that is an issue, but cost vs commute, buy the Si. Just my Ten Cents.

NO CRUISE CONTROL!!!!!!

And honestly at about the 100 mile mark the bouncing does start to wear on me.

good suspension for daily driving.

A lot more comfortable than non-mr suspension.

Also, the 6 speed really does help on the highway driving.

Yea if you are not going to get crazy and change out the suspension the MR makes a good daily driver. Also the extra gear helps out in the highway.

Like I said earlier, I have 23,000 miles on the Advans and I'm expecting to get to 30,000 before I need new ones. Lots of highway driving, though.
