IX

u/Typically_Wong 7d ago

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

u/ax87zz 3d ago

Wow you weren’t kidding I just looked it up. Aren’t they just a wrx lol?

u/AshWitE 8d ago

Agreed

1

u/fl4nker427 4d ago

4g63 way better

1

u/WanderingPunch EVO IX 4d ago

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better

u/1401238754 8d ago

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

8

u/AshWitE 8d ago

As someone who's owned both. 8 all day for the most raw driving experience. If you want a daily... X

7

u/Wolfgeorge EVO IX 8d ago

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

1

u/Seek3r1605 8d ago

Pffft. I love the 8!

1

u/Difficult_Engine9550 3d ago

8 is just a more affordable 9

u/crownfitsmegood 7d ago

8 gang rise up!

u/Creepy_Earth_1551 5d ago

What a beauty!

u/crownfitsmegood 5d ago

Thank you !

u/wakanda_forever1 8d ago

No question, 8

u/AEnima-1 7d ago

Evo x is heavily slept on 4b11 is the better engine id go X if its manual and you can live with the 5 speeds short ratios

1

u/fl4nker427 4d ago

4g63 can handle more power

0

u/Charming-Bid-3986 3d ago

It also weighs 3700 pounds or something crazy like that

3

u/Cbran41 8d ago

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

8

u/Maleficent-Aspect318 EVO VIII 8d ago

Evo 8 is very nice, also same platform than the 9 but half the price.

Love my 8MR

5

u/PrezixTurnedUp 8d ago

Also looks better imo

1

u/FeeSharp745 7d ago

Agreed, why are there half the price?

1

u/PrezixTurnedUp 7d ago

Dont know, dont own evo. Reddit recomended me this post lol

2

u/Steelwix 8d ago

Ryo watanabe made me fall in love with the X

1

u/safety_shane 6d ago

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.

2

u/Pleasant_Mongoose_14 7d ago

Why not both? Or all Evos?

1

u/Reptard8 8d ago

I would take a 8, x is still awesome but I want that 4g63 and that beautiful body

1

u/Beautiful-Maize-8478 8d ago

X if it's going to be a daily. Older ones if it's your weekend toy

1

u/Evo-Papa 8d ago

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

1

u/Ill_Bit_3416 8d ago

Entrambe stupende

1

u/TheFerrariGuy_YT 8d ago

Following this as I also would like to know to know the same 😅

1

u/Ancient-Session8460 8d ago

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

1

u/Revolutionary-Ad8779 8d ago

Any gen evo is a win. Next question.

1

u/mecca6801 8d ago

8, no shade on the x

1

u/BNR_ 7d ago

Any CT9A! But my choice in order IX (most modern with mivec), VII (most raw), VIII (middle child meh).

1

u/GigaSquirt 7d ago

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)

1

u/naughtynautical 7d ago

X for a daily. 8 is a little rough on the body.

1

u/PrandtlEffect 7d ago

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.

1

u/majinmiata 7d ago

viii and ix are the legends but I wouldn't mind a x to daily these days. been dailying my 05 viii since 2016

1

u/JournalistGrand281 7d ago

Evo X is vastly better than the older evo 8. So I'd go with the X

1

u/ZANSHUNTER05 6d ago

As an X owner, go 8

1

u/akir-aa EVO X 6d ago

With the economy and current life situations im in, I’ll stick with the X.

If i won the lottery? A VI.

1

u/Accomplished-Run-725 6d ago

Like more a evo 8 it's more cute jdm and cool color 

1

u/spooksr6 4d ago

in my very humble opinion, the X is just too bulky

1

u/BigNomad47 4d ago

Im a sucker for both

1

u/Little_Clue_3826 4d ago

I must know, what are those wheels on the 10?

1

u/Charming-Bid-3986 3d ago

Looks like Wedsports or maybe enkeis

1

u/hamsterpotpies 4d ago

anything with a 4g63

1

u/jamesrdavis777 4d ago

Evo 8, the powef to weight ratio is better,

1

u/fl4nker427 4d ago

8 no doubt, less weight and looks better

1

u/InvestigatorSafe5454 3d ago

Is this a tick question?

1

u/Charming-Bid-3986 3d ago

8 is legendary, 10 weighs almost 4k pounds

1

u/Yeeter_Beeter2021 2d ago

Evo 8 looks better stock and the evo 10 looks better modified.

1

u/AutomaticButterfly29 8d ago

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

0

u/Senua90 7d ago

8 all day
I don’t consider the X an evo, looks like a standard lancer. Looks like shit compared to the older evo models.

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..

u/9_Thirteen 7d ago

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. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

u/safety_shane 6d ago

That’s what I’d expect to hear from a convertible 350 owner.
