Have an 05 evo and I drive it daily. Some people would not be able to put up with it as a daily, I do not mind at all. Great car all year around for sure.
Evos take pretty well to mods/bolt ons. Especially the 9’s
But its very easy to make great power/handling with bolt ons and not jepordize your reliablity and daily driveablity.
Drive em, see which one is the better deal.
