Default EP3 as daily driver car

Hello guys, it's my first post here in DC5/ep3 section, regularly i'm a poster in EM2/ES section.
I just want your inputs, how's the performance of EP3 as daily driven car. I'm not into racing all I want is to use the car as vehicle for going to work, drop/pick up my daughter in the school and wife as well.
I have my ES which is for me a fantastic car though i've done a lot of maintenance on it but still i love it's durability.
So now, can I compare the EP3 to ES?
Is the durability the same as the ES?
How about the fuel consumption?
hope someone share their experience about the car. Thanks in advance.

An EP3 as a daily driver is great. You'll be seeing great gas mileage plus the amenities such as power steering, a/c, power windows, and abs brakes. You'll never have the urge to race because it fails in the performance department.

You cant go wrong with it. Its a kickass lil car. Plus the hatchback gives you a lotta versatility, whether you gotta make a trip up the mountains, or ikea.

Damn, Dubai huh? It must be crazy out there. I love my EP. A little suspension modification and its a fun, capable car. And the gas mileage is great too.
