Sure do.You need to experience it in stormy weather,middle of winter,with a couple feet of snowits excellent.Rust check it,drive it,and enjoy.

My GF has claimed the X as "hers",because as a nurse she HAS to get to work no matter what.I'm left with an older car for my DD,but I'm not suffering to bad........


The Evo2(I just bought it)will be used all year round too!

Put some real winter tires on (I have Wintersports) and it is the best snow car EVER!

well, when i bought mine i was thinking of getting a beater (old civic or integra) as a DD, but as the days go by, the civility of the Evo X MR really made me forget about the beater idea. i'm also getting decent gas mileage nowadays.

i have the ability to drive a beater year round to keep the x looking good. Plan to have it stored in a nice warm place during winter and i dont like to drive it in the rain

I bought the X with every intention of it being my DD but I was fortunate enough to get a company car from my employer. It spoiled me though and now I'll be changing jobs in a couple weeks and I need to find a beater because I just don't want to put the wear and tear on it.

it makes it tough to beat it on a daily basis when you see your monthly payments. Thats my philosophy tho

What do you guys do to prevent rust? That is the main reason I dont want to drive it during the NY winter. I watched as my old civic si rusted away and it broke my heart. Really dont want a spec of rust on the X
