Probs with IX

To anyone who has a IX or knows a good deal about it

Are there any known probs with the IX like there were with the 03 viii. Just curious, thinking about getting a ix but worried there might be some probs with the MIVEC, as it seems that some models need time to get the kinks out.

That's normal. Why would you say that's awful? You also are modded with no tune. Your claim doesn't make sense. Don't misguide people, please.

I avg. 260-270 on a full tank, I mostly do highway driving and go about 70-75mph, along with some "spirited driving" of course .

What? Not sure what that means.

Getting 210-220 miles by the time the light comes on is normal. I never get more than that, since the light comes on well before empty.
