just came to a realzation
have others noticed that quite a few people buy svxes as daily drivers to keep miles off there really "nice" cars? What gives don'tthy realize what there driving everyday is THE BEST CAR EVER CREATED (of course in my opinion). I mean I go out of my way to keep miles down on my svx. I just think it is a shame that not every else is as obsessed about these cars as Iam, and take them for granted. The svx is truly a work of art. Ok Iam done,just needed to vent. I love this car.
chris p.s. my mother is looking for an svx preferably in the 8-10k range, any suggestions would be greatly apprecatied |

I bought mine as a daily driver, period. It is my "nice" car as well as my daily. Now that I've been driving it for over 2 years, I can't imagine driving anything else. If I do buy another car to keep mileage off of this one, it'll be a lower mileage SVX. I do not take this car for granted. Food is meant to be eaten, flowers are to be smelled and looked at and enjoyed and cars are meant to be driven.

I start to think about the many electronic components of this car, and what I would do if one failed down the road and was no longer available anywhere.

damn pockets....
that was depressing.
i guess i figure that by the time that happens i will have another car that i am in love with just as much as the svx. in fact the mazda rx8 is looking pretty damn good right now. plus in 2003 they are coming out with another SVX remember.

I am this person you refer to... I bought my SVX as a daily car mainly because I've become afraid to drive my Chevy for fear that it would get a stone chip or something. My SVX is not in the best of shape at all, due to the previous owner. Because of this, I dont have to worry about getting stone chips, or door dings, and i dont have a heart attack every time someone backs into it in the parking lot. The svx IS my daily car, but what better daily car could I ask for?

Like Randy said, cars are meant to be driven. I got mine in April with 75k. Now my svx has close to 100k. Yes cars are meant to be driven. If the car is not in the shop, i'd have more miles I am looking for a cheaper 92 LS-L though. I want that AWD feeling.
