Interior preference.. VIII/IX vs X GET IN HERE AND VOTE!
In all honesty (and maturity), I don't think you are being quite fair on your VIII though. I just bought an MR2 Turbo about 2 months ago and it's noisy as hell. There are so many squeaks and knocks when I drive around town that if I decided not to fix them, I'd be forced to turn the radio up.
Ironically right after I finished tuning it when he was on his test drive the front suspension dropped off the car when he drove over a bump - this is not a daily occurence - apparently all the strut top nuts were left off. Thank god no one was killed.
I've had 2 Evos. Both were/are as tight as a drum - zero squeaks, rattles, etc. Both cars had/have stock suspensions. As far as noise from the differentials, the gearbox, etc - I love it! It always serves to remind me that I'm driving a street-legal racecar. I adore the car's undiluted mechanical nature and its pilot-centered perspective. This said, I can easily see how it wouldn't necessarily appeal to everyone.

40k comfy? i don't think so. granted the interior is very nice 'looking' but very cheap at the same time. the visors must have cost less then $5. cheap cheap

And the car is GREAT condition, but it is quite a few years older than my VIII. My point is, the X will eventually get noisy as well. Weather stripping dries up and starts to crack, plastic starts to warp from constant hot/cold cycles, etc.. all of this happens over time. So to assume that you won't have a squeeky interior a few years down the road in your X is being unrealistic IMO.

Only time will tell though.
