Take a test drive first - in stock form the 9 and the 10 feel very different from each other and from the 8.

thats what im leaning towards more. I drove a X MR and it just didnt feel like a Evo to me If that makes sense LOL

red devil Jul 8, 2009 09:54 AM

I have an 06 IX WW GSR with 11000 miles super clean. pm me for details. BTW I live very close to Pembroke Pines .

Kracka Jul 8, 2009 10:52 AM

After riding in a X MR the choice is easy: IX

evoixbri Jul 8, 2009 10:54 AM

yep last true evo is the evo ix. the x is a luxury evo ahha.

kickenwing Jul 8, 2009 11:15 AM

^ i agree, im not a big fan of the X so i would deff. go with the IX...i have one and love it

big block ix Jul 8, 2009 12:10 PM

I feel the exact opposite about the SST EVO ^^

Everytime the car downshifts its pure sex.. And the way the ASC rejected my attempts to have fun were just as impressive

cec12789 Jul 8, 2009 12:24 PM

evo 9 to me the evo x isnt like an evo evo either lol...plus in my opnion the 9 looks alot sexier

it's like breaking up with a girlfriend. you think about the good times, but don't remember why you broke up, until after you get back together again. then you breakup again.

Very well said Sir. There are still some low mile VIII running around but I guess I'm just partial to VIII's because I own one. Either way VIII or IX you'd be happy. The X not so much.

v8<turbo4 Jul 9, 2009 04:47 PM

if you cant decide between a 9 and 10 then just look for the best deal you can get when you find a grand slam deal take it. Thats what i have done and im on my 3rd evo now. I love these cars. When i drove a 10 i was a little disappointed at first. but then after thinking about it with some mods and some sway bars it could be a mean machine!

Johnny Boy Jul 10, 2009 07:35 AM

I found a realy god deal on a 9. im gona go look at it tomorrow.

Xolition Jul 11, 2009 12:11 AM

IX all day every day

The 3 reasons i got a evo was because of the power potential, handling and of coarse the looks of the exterior. If your getting it to not continue to mod it while having it i see no point in having a evo 9. The evo will just get boring because youll get used to the power you have at the time, and within a few weeks youll start to think about all the bad stuff the evo has and does and constant maintince it needs, and youll want to get rid of it again.

evo9ben Jul 11, 2009 12:53 AM

i would say a 9 :) i drove bolth and was going to trade mine for a x but no way 9s are more classic

evo ix se....enough said.

sith_killer_99 Jul 11, 2009 12:33 PM

It seems like everyone agrees on the IX.

Go get an X. :lol:

BishiBoii Jul 11, 2009 01:18 PM

i would suggest the 8 or 9, the 10s are heavy and slow to me, and i think the 10 MR is garbage, but im a purist, im considering buying one again also, my friends make me want one again lol.

06 9 GSR-SE wootwoot {thumbup}

Kdash106 Jul 11, 2009 01:28 PM

love my 9 and the body style, X looks big and fat. lol

boost247 Jul 11, 2009 06:44 PM

+1 on a IX!

CJ2X Jul 11, 2009 07:03 PM

Get a IX!

i agree with this guy.... my friend bought your evo. haha

anyways, i don't like the evo x very much. it looks good, but its more driver friendly. evo ix's are more track cars.

MitsuJDM Jul 12, 2009 08:44 PM

If I had to keep one mostly stock, it'd be a X, because I think they'd suit DD needs very well. If I wanted to do a bolt-on build and make sensable, streetable power, than I'd choose a IX. If I wanted to build a all out, from the ground up race car, an VIII is the way to go.

Me, I'm all about building a bolt-on sensable, streetable power type of car. So why do I have an VIII? Because I'm poor and can't afford a IX :D So I deal with an VIII.

EclipseMblue Jul 13, 2009 02:48 PM

i would probable just take a X

Z_Lancer_Man Jul 13, 2009 04:49 PM

I just picked up a used IX myself and couldn't be happier! (well, maybe if it was brand new....)

foam Jul 13, 2009 04:55 PM

I love my IX but you should test drive a X and see which one you like more.

2003lancerevo8 Jul 13, 2009 04:59 PM

Look at what some of the big companies are doing with the X's.... AMS using a X for redline time attack. The other AMS Blue Evo X that is rapping the time attack competition.. I love the look of the X's much better than the 8's or 9's. They are a bit piggish in stock form but how in the heck leaves and evo stock?!

There were some X's in the 10's in the drag racing world. If I had to buy another evo it would be X but id be aggressive with it just like I was on my 8.

4G63kevin Jul 16, 2009 03:07 PM

IX ftw! ;)
