The basic model is IX 32k $ like mine but is different than US IX, it has BBS wheels, bilestein shocks
The top model is exactly like the MR but they name it as evo IX EU 38k $

Go out to the most secluded piece of earth in your driving distance and drive like a complete idiot in the most safe manner possible and then travel back into town. Thats how I balance out the 95% of the time regular driving. One night a week is good to look forward to.

Flog her!

I miss when gas only was 1.20 (or lower) for premium here in MI. Now we are at 3.25ish, can we say 39+ for a full tank - ouch, just thinking about it makes my wallet hurt.

Okay, I also have a IX that just passed the break-in period. Other than drive the snot out of it where is a good place to start the modding? I have a catch can installed already(not really a mod but after seeing a friend drain his intercooler like an oil pan I thought it might be a good idea). I'm almost scared to mention the words blow off valve, what else. Also which would be a better route for tuning something like SAFC II or the NEO or a mail order flash(if all the hardware and software is available)? I do not plan on going into the motor anytime soon, just basic bolt-on's for now. Thanx for the input...

Twisted - you do not need a BOV. The metal IX is fine.

Search around - a TBE, MBC, and tune will give you a great car.
