I got mine in March last year and I'm now up to 33000 kms. I do about 150kms per day and the only problem I encountered was a faulty MAF after leaving the car still for a week. Sure it's not the best car for a DD as far as gas consumption goes but I still get between 425-475 kms on a full tank. I think if you follow up on maintenance carefully there shouldn't be any major issues.

425/475kms on a full tank ..... how ?

I can't get more than 300-350kms. Do you ever use the boost, are you getting that driving in the best conditions like slow starts, low rpms shifts ?

I thinking of going for a tune to help my gas consumption.

A tune will help if you drive normal. Typically a tune inspires more boosted driving. So you will get worse mileage

DD mine, also do 600 mile road trips every couple of months between university and the parents place and the only complaints I have for being a DD is small trunk/tank, crappy fuel economy if not "careful" and a trim piece that just wont stay in its place.

I use my X as a Daily Driver( except its parked in the winter due to not wanting someone who can't drive winter conditions that may smack into it and the only thing I find in the summer is that with the A/C on you lose a bit of power.

I DD mine just as I did with my '06 IX MR. I just got it in December so I still have the stock rubber on it. I manage in light snow so far, but in some of the heavy stuff we've got in the past couple weeks, I just whip out my '08 Wrangler Unlimited(4door) Rubicon.

DD w/ 30,000 miles, only problem so far? 30,000 service. haha. Well that and it got keyed, hit by a tour bus, hit by a drunk driver and the windshield busted out. All 4 things seperate times from June to September. Bad luck I guess. I reckon DDing raises the chances of getting ripped up.

We're on our second evo as a DD and we actually get pretty good gas mileage if you drive somewhat civily. Of course the SSR transmission is a bit more boring but good for commuting on our X MR.
