Damn. Thats was a lot of good input on the X and the IX. I see why people stick to the 9 or go 10.. more along the lines of performace for the 9 and DD type stuff for the 10. Very interesting. My preferece is the 9 based on looks at the momment.

 

i wouldn't go that far - ultimately performance really depends on how deep your wallet is. most people who like the 8/9 just prefer the character of the ct9a

 

No way!! IX till i die!!!

 

I'm going to be buried in my 8. Too much money in mods, miles, and my own hours working on her to let her go. Plus she's paid off.

I had considered a X, but after driving one, I realized that it doesn't satisfy the "what coudl I buy as a replacement for the 8" jones I was getting. I actually don't know what kind of car will replace the 8.

After driving the X, I would buy a NA BMW for a sporty DD before a X.

 

trade an VIII or IX for a X, what!sacrelige

 

No reason to get get rid of such an amazing Evo.

Keep the IX.

 

This is the first time I have heard somebody refer to the IX as refined and insulated

 

One point against the DD nature of the X - the trunk is minuscule compared to the IX's. In general, fuel economy of the X is also not as good as the IX's. Otherwise the X is a more refined and bearable car for everyday and long distance driving - but that's not why you bought your Evo for anyway, right? I would stick with the IX.

 

Fuel economy was roughly the same in town. The older Evos got better MPG on the highway though.

The X has a more responsive turbo, its quieter, has cruise, better stereo, safer, etc. Also the X seems a little better in the drivetrain department. I hate feel the shift weight of the engine and drivetrain in the IX. You don't feel that in the X. Also, you can't be the Super AWC. Weight or no, it's just amazing to me.

The IX is a better fun, track car and I love driving it every day. I owned a X for 2.5 years and just sold it recently. I had to do it to help me lower fixed costs when buying a business or I never would have. Now I am back in a nine that I'm fixing up. I love all Evos.

 

What's up all, name is Dave and i just picked up an apex silver VIII. Looking forward to this community.

 

I have a Vlll and was lucky enough to drive my friends X.

It is a very nice car. Completely different from the CT9A.
The interior is better, as is the noise insulation and ride quality.
With that being said it makes a much better car for driving daily, hauling kids, and long trips.

I wouldn't understand why someone would buy one for weekend driving/track use when they are an expensive toned down version of the 8/9.

For a fun/track vehicle you cannot beat a CT9A.

 

keep your ix or you will be crying for it eventually .

 

I am also thinking of getting a X as well but keeping my IX too

 

I think that the evo x is an awesome car and I would love to own one in ADDITION to my IX but NEVER instead of

 

agreed!
