Sick car for sure and I love the way they look but its not a $10,000+ better car then the VIII imo. I wouldnt doubt that eventually when you can get them used fo sub 25k that Ill end up owning one though.

it does have it's perks and i must say and i would be lying if i said i have not been looking in to them as a DD :)

I love the X. I wouldn't mind getting one, but I have an evo already.

For a little more money, I think I would buy a used Lotus Extige S.

I'd definately like to get a used X down the road. But for now I love my VIII :D

no thanks, i'll keep my 9. i think in the future im going a different route instead of getting a X.

Never even ventured into the X forums but i guess i should but i'm still caught up in the 8/9 world as i was a bit late getting into Evo's.

However i have been trying to get the fiance into a X and out of her MBZ CLK 430.

I browse both since i own both, but i mainly venture into X stuff since i have already completed mapping out my 8 modding path.

Not really. I like my VIII. If I had to do it again I'd still get an VIII or IX. If I wasn't paying my hard earned money for it then I'd take an X though. Maybe if anyone ever gets around to figuring out a way to swap the 4B11 or whatever engine the X uses into a CT9A I'd be down with it.

I have never had a car grow on me like the X. I will get one next year most likely.

TcJayLee

I love my IX but I know down the road the X will be my next car. But it will be a used vehicle. Cant afford to make 800 dollars a month payments like I did with my IX.

Speaking from someone who moves on from the VIII to X.... the X actually start to grow in me
there are times when im tempted to get back to the old one.. haha
still for a track car... stick with the VIII/IX.. but for a DD you can actually consider the X
the AYC is actually pretty cool... with the torque transferring to the back and stuffs..
well.. there are still huge development going on with the X... pretty soon the tuners will come up with their wonders and that should start changing the mindset of the hardcore VIII/IX enthusiasts I guess... =)

Maybe it's just me, but isn't it a bit redundant owning the same type of vehicle? AWD turbo I mean..

I was considering buying this EJ20T swapped Impreza, but I thought about it and it's kind of redundant since I own an EVO already.

I would upgrade to a X, but I don't think I could own both. Too many similarities

TcJayLee
11-22-2008, 08:46 PM
^Eh. I think its just preference. I wouldnt mind having two or even three AWD turbos. I think AWD turbo is awesome. Its great all around. But the X is a totally different car in my opinion. Its evolved into something new. the X will give you something different I gaurentee.

Don't get me wrong, I love AWD Turbo! I've had 2 DSM's and now an EVO. But, all I'm saying is variety is the spice of life. :)

The SSS package includes the spoiler, upgraded sound system and sight system(headlights). I read that its like an extra 2000$. Most evo X owners say they did without it.

So it is the big spoiler, sound and HID's?

Don't forget the SSS also comes with the FAST entry system. The base GSR has a KEY. :shock:

The SSS is worth it just for the HID and FAST key... big spoiler and audio system is okay but I can do without them.

Yup, when I bought mine they had 25 on the lot and only 2 were "base" GSRs. I think for the most part people want the features in the SSS package. IMO the SSS stereo is great and the FAST key and HIDs are a must.

TcJayLee
11-30-2008, 09:27 AM
^Hell yeah. I wish my IX came with HID's and an upgraded stereo. When I look into the X next year, I will definately get a GSR with the SSS package.
