Evo X vs. Evo VIII and IX
Personally I wanted a 9, simply because more tuning capabilities and it's just a nicer looking car to me. Sadly, the last 9 was made in 2006. It would be stupid to get an evo that's older than 3 years and has more than 40k miles. It's an evo, it's just not reliable, and you don't want an Evo with no warranty. I haven't heard of a single person who drives an evo confidently thinking it will never break on him.
Please omit this from you memory bank OP.

The way that I look at it is a bit different from the above. This site has sub-forums for the different generations and, for example, the Evo X sub-forum is rather "biased" towards ...wait for it ... Evo Xs. And in stark contrast to the other well-known site, we try to keep the amount of misinformation about Evo Xs to an absolute minimum, rather than allow said misinformation to become common "knowledge."

Drive them both and see what you like better. The VIII/IX's I've driven have been the most fun cars I've ever driven. X was fine, but wasn't the same feel. I'd go for VIII/IX all day long. Probably IX.

I'm not sure what mis information you are referring to - but I'd be interested in seeing what it is you think is being spread around...

what i have is much older, its an Evo 4 but the last time i sprint in a quater mile drag i still beat some latest evo, no offense guys.
from what i think it doesnt matter how old your evo is, its how you know how to take care of them and how to give them mods and enhancement for additional power.

Ugh - 3rd post and already spouting nonsense.
Well, what are your plans for the car? If just a DD and a fun street car, then the X is a better choice since it has a few more creature comforts than the IX. But if you're going for a high HP build then the IX is a good choice.
