I understand why I should pick the 06 Evo, but it's manual everything. No cruise control, no power windows etc....
I mean I know it's not a necesity, but it's good to have sometimes.

well no evo has cruise control until the x but yes its an rs so it doesnt have power windows, does it have ac (nevermind i checked) , i think the 06 looks better personally but make sure to do full inspection of both, these cars are usually beat on

I'd take the 2006 Evo IX because it is newer with less miles. Plus it is an RS model which is not very common (more track oriented). You'll get the larger IX turbo, RS options, MIVEC, and other cool goodies.

I have an Evo VIII and wouldn't have it any other way. However, out of the two cars, I would definitely take the 06 model. The VIII is a good deal. The IX is an outstanding deal. Surprised it is that cheap to be honest with you. Either way, you won't be disappointed regardless of which you pick.

WW 06 RS for sure. This is a no brainer.

As someone else mentioned.. no Evo's come with cruise. All your giving up is power windows.

get the 03 and with the extra $2000 rebuild the engine ams makes nice kits that support 600-800+ hp then throw a big turbo on and it doesnt matter if the 9 has mivec or a bigger turbo than the 8
