Right now I have a 2003 Mini Cooper S to take care of the daily duties and a 2003 Mustang Cobra for fun.

I had a 2006 Apex Silver EVO IX and sold it back in 2007.

Well a few years later I am looking at getting into another EVO. I was thinking of getting rid of my Cooper S and Cobra for a 2010 EVO X GSR SSS in white. My concern is the miles that I will be putting on the car. I will average between 22,000-25,000 miles a year. Simple math after roughly 5 years the car will have around 110,000-125,000 miles.

How are your EVO X's holding up? Ofcourse I will do the regular maint. work, just not too sure about the realibility as my last IX was not my daily driver.

 

My Odometer is reading around 15,700... Only had it for a little tho... Your best off keeping one of those cars tho and using them whenever you go on long trips to put miles on

 

It'd obviously make sense to put miles on a car that is cheaper to maintain (tires don't last all that long on these

I was actually thinking about getting a Mini Cooper S like you have for my daily.

 

Yeah i hear what all you guys are saying. I know the tires don't last, I got 8K out of my EVO IX.

The Cobra has 32,000 miles while the mini has 108,000 miles. Mini has been damn good to me and I enjoy driving the car.

The smart thing to do would be to keep both as I own the mini, but since when do I do the smart thing.

 

I far prefer my Mini for day to day driving. In fact, I wouldn't want to spend that much time in my Evo. Take that for what it's worth.

 

Evo X has 6500, car is almost 2 years old. G37 is my daily driver.

 

12,000 miles and my turbo & clutch are gone other than that the car feels fine i guess.

 

whats wrong with ur turbo?

I do my oil change every 4 000 km and treat her like a baby for the rest of the maintenance. A1. I am over 25 000 km and no issues at all. Great car. The only thing, oem tires are finish... I did about 16 000 on those since I have put winter tires last winter.


One thing for sure... It's not for sale...

 

13,000 here since march, i daily mine. no problems yet

 

24,3xx on the odo. Still on the stock clutch and brakes. Brake pads need replacing soon...clutch "may" need replacement as well. Car runs good.

 

10xxx since last october...only things bugging me is the window rattling (still need to take the door apart and fix) and the cheap a$$ paint.

 

mine is a littlo over 11k i was about to use it as daily but i figure it kills so much gas i decided to keep my old car.. oh i have a 08 evo x GSR

 

11 months old and it has ~18500 miles. Stock clutch, 2nd set of brakes (OEM fronts fully worn down at 16k miles) fully tuned at 330/360 with all bolt-on's the past 9k miles... no issues

 

~6K miles and 6 months old
