I drive about 3,000 miles a month for work most of the driving is 2-3 hour highway drives (one way), then 2-3 back. I sometimes think about the possibility of making the SVX the commuter car. Anyone driving that much in their SVX?

I was doing 1500miles/2wks with mine. (No exhaust, no AC) and it was NOT fun.

What is your DD now? The SVX Gets about 25 MPG ( my 5 speed gets 27 ) in mixed driving expect 18 to 19 and city 12to 14.. Wife used it to commute , it is as dependable as a 12 or 14 year old American car. What do you have for miles on the car? How dependable do you feel it is? How well maintained is your car?

My claret has been my daily driver since I bought it in 2005. It runs at higher RPM since the 4.44 went in. But I don't notice it much. My gas mileage is about 24-26 strictly highway and about 19-21 mixed. Goes to 18 mpg in winter when I let her warm up in the mornings before work.
