Evo as daily driver

I'm looking into buying an evo gsr with many mods. how would this be as a daily driver? i would obviously not be driving it in the snow, but might drive it in the rain. how are they in the rain?

uhhhh it's just like any car in the rain? UNless your going 100mph during a turn then I guess it's better then most.

And you ask how it would be as a daily driver? BUt you didn't tell us the mods?
BUt if it has a gt42r and a exedy triple then it will be cake

i think the evo is a great daily driver. just dont get coilovers and itll be comfortable. the car is a monster in snow and rain. i have fun driving all year round

Nothing wrong with coilovers. or upgraded suspension in general.

I drive mine every day, very few mods. Only problem seems to be cops. They hate evos. Just make sure you stay on top of the maintenance.

i dont DD mine yet, but bought it with the intent on replacing my Pathfinder real soon.
Mine does awesome in the rain so far with me Azenis on it. I have snows for the winter and heard they are monsters in the snow with decent snow tires.
AWD makes it a much better winter car then most right off the back.
The more power you make and tighter susp and lower to the ground will equal it out a little again, but still that step ahead.

I was worrying about it at first when i got mine too though, then I remembered driving turbo integras in the snow and fwd dsm's and stuff and realized I had it much worse. Just been spoiled for the last 5 or so years,thats all.
