I am thinking about purchasing a used s-type r (2003-2005). What are the common issues that I should look out for? I know the EPA ratings are 15/22, but what kind of mileage can I realistically expect (I like spirited driving)? Would you consider this a good commuter car? I drive ~90 miles per day for work. Other than the gas mileage, any other issues with commuting (ride comfort, reliability, etc...)?

If you are interested, please PM me, or reply here and I will contact you.
edit: I just noticed your profile says you're in FL. Plan on approx $1000 to ship from here to there.

^ pretty much what he said. Real world fuel economy is tough to compare since driving styles vary so dramatically. I'm happy if i'm somewhere near 20mpg in mostly two lane road 30 mile daily commute. Usually i'm under that, in the 18-19 range. It's a fun car, comfortable, powerful, reliable as any other used car of that vintage.
