I've read the wikipedia on all the models.

The only evo I have ever been in or driven is 2012 Evo GSR.

I'm bored of my 2011 Civic Si but I really appreciate the size of it after getting out of the Evo. The Evo felt quite large as a car but not bloated and ugly like an STI.

The older evos look smaller. I like the looks of the 2006 with SSL, it looks like a smaller car from the pictures. Suggestions would be great.

It's been suggested from reviews I have read that wanting it as a daily driver with being physically comfortable is not going to happen. They even go to say the STI is a better DD but from testing that car it rattled SO much.

Is it unrealistic that an evo could have a similar or better experience than the bumpy/jarring rides I feel in my Civic? Some of the roads here aren't in the best of shape as we have all 4 seasons here in Massachusetts.

Stock performance is fine by me (or at least for awhile who knows)

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.

 

It's really up to you. There's pros and cons on all the evo version. I have a VIII for a DD and it's been good to me.

 

I came from owning a older model STi full swap which was extremely rough on the ride. Now I've been driving an EVO X and love it. The ride is still super tight and a bit bouncy but it's not an uncomfortable roughness. It handles the ride very nicely and still keeps the performance there.

Just my 2 cents.

 

Just get a 2008-2012 gsr and call it a day. I daily an rs and it's fine. Only people that want an Audi interior for free whine about evos as a daily driver.

 

05-06 ix all the way

 

I have a 08 x and love it.
