So I'm picking up my IX APEX SILVER SSL tomorrow.
So I'm picking up my IX APEX SILVER SSL tomorrow.
Hello fellow enthusiasts,
Just a little bit about my situation. I use to be a turbo RSX-s owner. The vehicle was heavily modded and dynoed 429whp at 17psi. However, traction was a huge issue in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear
. The frustrations finally reached its limits so I decided to sell her and move on to a stable AWD turbo platform. In comparison, I can say that the RSX has a much better shifter feel and interior layout, but I'm more than willing to sacrifice.
After searching for weeks and haggling with sales reps, i've found a price that satisfied my pockets, $32,600.
What can I say, the subaru dealership wouldn't give me a test drive. Those discriminating salesmen could've possibly sold me an Sti.
Their loss, my gain.

Good job! The IX w/SSL is:
IX MSRP - 31,399
SSL - 3,000
Dest Charge - $595
Total = $35k. So, $2400 under MSRP is great for such a new release.

wow. another rsx-s owner going to an Evo. i had a black one with i/h/e and k-pro. the only gripes i have about the evo is that (stock at least) there is not enough power off the turbo. The rsx was nice because you had instant throttle response.
everyone kept telling me "turbo lag this" and "turbo lag that" and i didn't care much til i actually had to deal with it.

Not to get technical but the Apex silver is a EVO VIII color, the IX color is now called "cool silver" go figure, your buying the same car I have, hey I can't help it you have good taste, I could of got a STI for about the same money, but the 06 STI is so ugly, I just couldn't do it......Welcome to the world of EVO. Impressive numbers for the Honda by the way.
