Dont pick the first one you look at. Make sure the car appeals to you!! I had an 03 and loved it. The difference between the VIII and XI is that the XI came with a 10.5 hotside and the VIII came with 9.8 hotside. The XI also came with MIVEC and VIII didn't.

 

The problem is I live in nebraska hard to find evos, closet I've found is in colorado. Really like to test drive a few, before i buy, but haven't had any luck finding one near me.
