I've had my 06 IX MR SE since october 2006. I'm still in shock over my purchase. It all depends on what you want. Bottom line - The 06 IX w/ MIVEC makes more power than the VIII for less $$$.

1. IX RS - Raw/stripped, no power options, w/ 5sp
2. IX SE - Power options, zero lift/aero options, w/ 5sp
3. IX MR SE - Fully loaded, upgraded suspension (Bilstein), w/ 6sp

Get a 06 IX, the MR tranny sucks for drag racing... Two friends had theirs break on them and they got a Shep 5 speed instead for their MR's. Having a MR means nothing except a 6th gear IMO. And VIII's have to spend a little more money to get the outcome a IX can with basic bolt-ons

I have only had a IX RS and got to drive it for about 3 months before I got deployed. I like it though. I could deal with out all the options.
