I hate to be that thread resurrection guy, but this seemed like the appropriate place. My lease for the lexus is up in a few months and I was looking at an SUV for a change as a daily. The evo seems like it'll be a great car to hold on to as a garage queen and weekend car. Was looking at macan, any opinions of a good SUV daily setup with the evo? Thanks

What are you looking for in an SUV? Can't go wrong with a Macan. If you want to go offroading it go with the new 4Runner.
06 Toyota 4Runner Sport v6 4wd 160,000 hard miles I've taken this thing all across the western United States only states left to visit now are Wyoming, and Montana.
that looks real good man, 4runner is also reliable.
Yup I've even sucked water into the intake when doing a water crossing, only stalled the engine but had to pull the spark plugs and suck out the water (thank goodness I didn't hydrolock the engine). Other than that I haven't had any major problems with the 4R, proper maintenance and these cars will last forever! Only bad thing is the mpg is horrible, I get about 13-14 on average 17 if it's all freeway (stock form was like 20mpg max).
My Evo is my daily. I dont care about the mileage going up. Dont care about the horrible gas mileage it gets. Dont care if I get rock chips. All I care about is having a very fun car to drive everyday. Its pointless to me to own such a fun car and rarely use it.
I leave the garage sitting to my impractical car that gets about 100 miles added on every year.
I'm currently daily driving a 2018 Honda Civic Sport right now. I have been helping put a project 03 Evo 8 back together and this will be my daily once we get through the salt this winter. I'll most likely sell the Civic at that point.
I have the Si version of this as my daily... makes me bitter about the engine in my Miata...
The Miata engine is pretty bullet proof...though I agree the performance can be lacking.
I was into Hondas before the a Evo. The B18C5 in my ITR and the B16 in my hatch are still two of my all-time favorite motors (though I recognize the k20 is better..just looks funny in older endings bays).
