Had my IX MR since the week it came out, have 22k miles on it. No problems so far (knock on wood). I love driving it and would def recommend it. Sorry to people that have not had as good an experience.

I have had my IX since November of 2005 and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I even learned how to drive stick shift in this car and the clutch is still going strong with 10k miles that I've put on her, but I really do need new tires at the moment which should arrive very soon. Definitely no regrets with my purchase!

Have any of you regreted purchasing your car?....Iv'e read of a lot of problems (most of them pretty minor, some not so much) and I don't want to get stuck with a car that is just going to be a headache.The car will remain completely stock (except for maybe a flash and MBC later down the road), and will be a daily driver..This is a very large purchase for me and i just dont want to be stuck with something that is nothing but problems...Any thoughts or suggestions on this matter are much appreciated
Only regret would be more debt, but that'll be had with any purchase! IX is superior to the VIII in so many ways imo.

i regret it!!! i had an srt-4 with tons of mods..... i was spanking evo's left and right (stock evo's from a roll) that car never gave me problems. the evo on the other hand is too fragile.. i bought mine with 10k miles.. i have had it for two months now and i have replaced the clutch and flywheel. iam getting uneven tire ware ( after alignment) my inner trim pieces are starting to rattle. my syncros are going bad. my caliper is starting to peel... and im also getting brake noise ( pads are oem barely used)
OH! and did i mention i am paying $300 for insurance....
trust me i regret it!!!!!!

oh.. and what do you expect from a used evo.. there's two reason why people sell evo's at 10k miles.. 1. they raped the hell out of it and sold it since it started making problems 2. poor.. like myself

I have the same problem with my VIII and it's pissing me off. I had bad brake vibration at 4000 miles. I took it in to the dealer and they replaced the pads under warranty. 1000 miles later I had the same problem and they replaced the pads and rotors under warranty. Things were mostly fine until I had the brake pads replaced recently at 48,000 miles. At that time they machined the rotors too (which they said were in good shape). Within 500 miles I had terrible vibration when the brakes were applied. I took it back to the shop and they machined the rotors again. Two weeks later I still have noticeable (but not horrible) vibration when I apply the brakes. I don't brake hard that often and I don't get the rotors wet when they're hot. It's a real PITA when I apply the brakes and experience steering wheel shake. It kinda ruins the driving experience. I'm just going to have to live with it, I guess. Other than this, the car has been flawless.

My last car was a 2000 camaro SS with 550+whp and a full road race suspension.
the evo is still more fun, and easier to drive...and MUCH MUCH more forgiving.
