im looking to buy an evo within the next year, I been looking and researching on evos and they are my favorite cars by far over any other car, i been looking at the 2006 evo ix mr, and the new 2008 evo x, i dont know which one would be better for me, i never had a turbo car before, which car you guys think would be a great step up from a regular lancer?? please bless me with your opinions and thoughts as i dont know who else to turn to,

 

i dont think you can go wrong with either so i say go with whichever one you think looks better

 

I would go with the X if I were you. I am in the market for a evo, and the only reason im going with a IX is because I like the looks better. oh, and they are about 8k cheaper.

 

oh and forgot to say my vote goes to the IX

 

have u read all the reviews out there? Xs are very different from IXs and VIIIs. If u want a brand-new car the X will be your only choice.

 

ix i think.. price is resonable, looks great, performs well, what more do you want lol?

 

I'm finding it interesting that despite al the new stability electronics onboard the new 10, I have yet to see it best the previous Evo (9) around the track. When you read what the mags all write about the 10's ability to get through corners, you get the impression it's the quickest car out right now. Then you read in the same article a stock 9MR beats it by 2-seconds a lap.
It leaves me confused.
I'd buy a new MR (if I didn't already own a 9) if it were priced more in line with it's value(sub$35k). I'm sure it'll settle in where it should be.

 

i would go with a ix, i like them alot better, if u drive an x its more luxury. in my opinion i think a good step up from a lancer would be a ix. im selling mine. pm me if interessted

 

thanks guys for your imput, i think that the ix looks better and the evo 9 and 8 always been my favorite cars, if anyone else has anything to add please let me know, it can never hurt to get advice from people who own the cars themselves, thanks

 

The IX MR is my type of car, but if you want an Evolution, then get a brand new X. New is better than used, even if the IX is the better car. I prefer my IX MR over a X GSR/MR any day, but I bought mine new and I don't like buying used cars. Get a brand new X...That's my take.

 

The 9 gets better mpg.

 

IX feels like a raced prepped vehicle out of the factory. Basically a 15k car with a 15k drivetrain with a ton of modding potential

X is a slightly softer evolution with daily driving in mind and all the gizmos in the interior like most cars come equipped with today. Modding is coming along strongly with companies like AMS, Buschur, ETS, Ultimate Racing and many others.

 

Go with a X GSR in the base version with none of the extra items. Get it in wicked white. I would wait for next year's X so Mitsu may get all the small errors corrected.

 

Get a IX .

 

ix if you're going to mod heavily and x if you a more luxurious evo
