The good thing is, mileage DOWN. Mine has been a weekender for 6 years now, and I am lucky to put 3k miles on it a year. If we get some crazy snows, I keep the STi at home and let the VX come out to play to get to work, but that's usually about it for any DD use. You will appreciate your VX so much more after doing this. Taking a break from it and driving it again even after a week makes it such an enjoyment.
