    I got a DD first...THEN got the evo...I just started my 5 year loan Muahahahahha.

    I agree with Macky. My only advice just don't go too weak on hp! My 140hp is horrible on the freeway.

    Agreed. If there is one thing i regret on my DD is that it sucks on acceleration.

    Learn from my Mistake or i should say realization.

    I purchased a "FUN" daily driver in my S2000 with the intentions of just driving it and at the same time having fun with it. I did just that for the first few months but the mod bug hit me bad and i did one thing... that one thing ultimately consumed me and i ended up selling my Evo IX. The S2000 although slower than my Evo gave me a greater sense of satisfaction than the Evo did. Fast foward to today and I recently acquired a new S2000 CR which i am just absolutely tickled with.

    Get a daily driver that you will literally just drive... put gas in it and just drive it with the intentions of going to point A to point B. If you get a fun daily you run the risk of just moding it and dumping money into it.

    Get an old POS camry or civic sedan.

    I dont disagree bro, just hated when I had a truck family and friends always wanted help moving something.

    But just like everyone else has said get a DD you can't mod much.

    driving a "mature" car.
    I've thought of the Honda s2000, the Scion FRS, even a BMW M3 (E46), but I can't
    see myself being that douche in a BMW.
    I really don't want to drive a "normal" car but it seems like thats what I'ma have to do soon.

    So.... My question is has anyone driven the Audi S4-S5?
    curious to hear what you guys think?

    Now this car will ONLY be for DD maybe some spirited driving but don't really plan on modding an
    Audi.

    I'd say no no the Audi.... even though Eric works for them.

    Reasons:
    Expensive
    Not exactly a DD
    High cost of maintenance (brakes, rotors, etc.)
    Lease is cool but mileage an issue

    On the plus side:
    Eric can hook you up with buying and maintenance

    I would get something cheaper for a DD, like a toyota or honda, imo

    My daily is a 15 civic si coupe. Still can have a little fun and no urge to modify it since I rather put money into the Evo.
