That's crazy! But I suppose it's a good commuter car, compared to what you had before.
When I first joined the forum, I lived in Newport Beach, so I was looking into an iQ as a second car (while keeping my Evo parked most of the time or using it just for pleasure) not because of a commute but because parking in Newport Beach is VERY crowded, with visitors going to the beach on a daily basis, along with local college students piling several people into one house (and taking up more street parking as a result). But I moved to a different city with a completely different parking situation and am less than two miles from work, so I ended up not really having much of a need for an iQ anymore.
But as a side note, there's a guy I know on an Evo forum where his commute is about the same as yours, so he puts on upwards of 150 miles daily on his Evo, which I think has over 270,000 miles by now.
