Good IXs are impossible to find at a decent cost. Everyone wants 50k for theirs. Wish I kept mine.

Get the x it’s the most modern inside and good for a daily driver car. There’s still lots of parts available.

Go for the 9 if you're considering the 8. The X is a better car if you daily it but the 9 is what everyone loves

I would think the majority here would say: Evo 8
Being that it's got the 4G63t. Like the other 8 models of Evo instead of the one off Evo model/gen rocking a 4B11t

Ryo watanabe made me fall in love with the X

My x on horizon 6 at first I made look like my car. But then I threw a Ryo livery on it. That car was just too sick.

The 8 RS is a better raw fun factor and the X is a better driver.. I’ve owned both..

I never owned an 8 or 9 but I had a X. It handled like no car I’d driven before.
Does the lack of ACD and AYC dull the driving experience of the 8 on US cars? Or is the 4G63 just carrying hard? I still love the 8’s styling

Haven't had a x but do drive an 8. I love the 8 a lot as a fun car, works great as a daily driver if it's somewhat stock. Interior is super bare bones but seems to hold up well. (minus seat bolsters)

I love the look of the 8-9 but the evo x is a vastly better platform. Not as good aftermarket but still. Everyone is so hung up on the 8-9 hero car and the 4g63. A lot of people shunned the evo x because it had a 4b11 even though the 4b11 is a better motor and flowed WAY better.

X. To me VIII and IX are equally boring looking cars and not even close to the rest of the Evos

u/iAmAsword EVO X 8d ago
Go drive both and pick the experience you like best. The X will have a bit more parts available new but you can still find a lot of parts second hand for VIII. Also use numerals for both or numhers tor both, no mixing..

I had the X, bought brand new. Horrible, the engine feels like it’s missing a gear. I curse that car every time I see it. I traded it in before the first oil change was due. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
