Was wondering opinions on the evo X as a DD

Considering getting an '08

Maybe light bolt on mods + Tune

Would be my 100% DD

 

I dd mine. Sucks in traffic, fun when not

 

I DD my O6 Evo...trafffic driving Sucks..but other than that its Fun..

 

DD'd my IX and X. Great cars.

 

i've got an '08 too and I DD it. Before i got the car, my biggest concern was the suspension. A lot of reviews online says that the suspension is harsh for normal driving. But when I got the car, i realized it wasn't the case.

These things are great for DD or on track.

 

I DD mine, though it's only an 8 mile drive round trip from work to home, I don't mind it. I have minor bolt ons + tune..can't complain!

 

I used to dd my 2010 X SE. Wasn't bad at all considering the SST. Had basic bolt ons and a tune so it was a decent ride to get from a to b. Wouldn't want to dd my GSR though just cause of traffic.

 

Whats so bad about the evo compared to other cars for driving in traffic?

 

Driving my X in traffic is no different than any other manual trans car. Just don't buy some stupid aftermarket gorilla clutch and you'll be fine. 64k miles and I still love jumping in mine every single day! When I'm visiting my parents (or they're down visiting me) neither my mom nor dad have any problems driving it either.

There are three main things I recommend avoiding if you're trying to keep the car as smooth and streetable as possible:
1. aftermarket cams
2. lightweight flywheel
3. aftermarket clutch with heavy pressure plate

 

Can't have much fun or thrills when you are sitting still in traffic.

 

I love mine and DD it. I have the SST though so I'm sure it's a lot more convenient than an GSR.

 

I never understand evo DD questions... Most cars suck in traffic because it sucks to be in traffic. Evos DD like most cars. I used to DD a 91 Volvo 240. Try that!

 

Can someone explain the TC-SST transmission to me? From what I am reading it lets you switch the car to automatic basically?

Would it be worth it to get the MR instead of the GSR?

 

It's all on opinion I guess. If I was in traffic ALL of the time, I'm not sure I would have bought an Evo. Why pay that kind of money if you just sit in traffic and don't really have the chance to enjoy what an Evo has to offer.

Also others might have that as a complaint because they are modded. I'm still on a stock clutch so it's not to bad but I'm on E-85 and my car idle's pretty high (IMO) so I just see my MPG getting worst as I sit there.

It's basically an Auto with a manual option. You can put it in D and go. Or you can use the paddle shifters and manually change gears.

Is it worth it? Some will say yes and some will say no. When I bought my new Evo I was considering a MR. But a base model MR was the same price as my GSR with SS and SL so I went with the GSR again.

It really is personal preference...do you want an automatic or manual transmission? Simple as that really.
