BlackBat I traded my 06 Evo IX in for the 08 X, mainly for the super all wheel drive technology.
Anyway, after about 1000 miles on the X I started regretting trading in my IX!. In my opinion my old Evo had better seats, quicker steering and FELT faster, especially beyond 3,000 rpm. At first I thought the trade was worth it, but the more I drove my X the more I missed the rawness on my former car. I am actually considering going back to the IX. (giving up AYC is a small penalty for me)

Pay off the 9 and buy an X or something else later.

That's crazy low miles on your 9; no reason you can't own two cars. I still have an Evo 8 and my X.

Or just sell to me. IX MR SE w/ 4600 miles. Nice! If it is low mods or no mods that would be better. No accident/paint, etc? TB is not my #1 choice, but maybe I could deal.

(I don't really have funds to buy a car right now. But... yours would probably be #1 on the list if all that stuff was right!)

I went from a IX MR to a X GSR last spring. The X is nicer to drive, but the IX was more fun. Im glad i went to the X, but then if i would have known what i know now, i would have kept my IX. Personally IMO, keep your IX.

You shoulda tried upgrading the rear diff on the Evo IX! It's only like 450 from Tre, you should see its reviews.. there's an ACD reflash upgrade that makes a world of difference too...

Thanks for the heads up. If I had known about this earlier, I would have thought twice about "trading up".
