hey guys. i'm looking to buy an evo x. i'm a current honda owner. i was just wondering what you guys would say the pros and cons are for the evo x. and should i buy the 08 model or wait till the 09 comes out.....

 

Look into it yourself, you can thank me later.

 

search please

 

I would wait for the next model year.

 

love mine!!

 

Evo 9/10 = Hotness

 

buy a 2010

 

While i normally agree that waiting for a newer model is a good idea, there's no guarantee that mits will make any further improvements to the X. The way gas prices are... they might even discontinue it after this year (extreme i know). I'm sure on any future models they will make some small tweaks here and there, but i wouldn't count on any major improvements...

 

most updates have already been done.09 evo x will not have much change to the powertrain.tail lights,headlights etc... buy one when your ready.

 

$35,000 investment and he hasn't done research by himself. not a good idea.

 

i've done my research on the car, but I wanted to know the sentiments of people that actually own the car....

 

I love my X, it gave me nearly everything I wanted in a car.

 

Pros - It's the finest handling car I've ever driven, It's fast, it responds very well to mods, it looks great, it's easy to live with everyday...

Cons - Expensive to maintain (gas, tires, brakes, etc.), the transmission may have an issue (notchy grinding), the aftermarket isn't quite there yet (1-2 years), paint chips easily, and.... that's about it!

 

Wait till January. Prices will drop substantially, the new models will be out, and you will be able to have many GSR/some MR's on the used market for quite a discount with all of the warranty still in place. The dealers near me have not sold a single GSR/or MR. Things are only going to get worse... Forbes.com calls it the beginning of the car crisis following 2 years of house crisis that still is falling... my .02 cents...

 

whats up with the flaming? is this turning into NASIOC or what??

I think the 8/9/10 evos are all good buys. BUT! from what I've learned.... if you have to dump more then 50% of your weekly pay into a car for gas/payments... its not AT ALL worth the Hurahh.. thats not directed towards the OP thats to everyone.

From what I now know being 22, If I could rewind time, I would have waited until I had a steady living where a car payment wouldn't even be thought off... it would just be withdrawn from my account and thats that.
