Poll: what should i get evo x or evo ix?
i am getting a new car, dd, cant decide what to get though, a evo x or evo ix, i really like the styling of the x but really like the performance of the ix, and i am also trying to decide which transmission to get, auto or manual, i would get the auto but im scared with probably 350hp ill probably blow out the tranny, so what should i get?

You've gotta remember, its going to be members telling you to get the car they have, because they have it, so therefore its "better" than the other Evo.
Get what you like, they are both good. If you plan on staying under 400whp, the X is a superior all around car, no questions asked, and is a great daily driver, unless you're old. If you want an all out 700whp drag car that traps 140+mph than you should look into an older Evo.

ive had two 9's a gsr and a rs that i currently own. and i wouldnt give it up for any other car. just depends on what you want. both cars are great, they both have pros and cons, figure out what it is you want. and if you want a X and your worried about the auto trans, buy the manual version if thats what you really want and enjoy it. good luck!

Not that you are wrong, this is a common belief. This car has been beat up, I wouldn't buy it is popular consensus. Evo's are rally cars, what do you think happens in a rally? They are made to be used to intended purposes, not to be treated as a Mercedes or likewise. Sure there is a nothing wrong with babying it, but there are so many wear items on a car, some will need replaced sooner or later. I have a '96 Evo IV with 176,250KM on the original engine with no rebuild. That car has the snot beat out of it for years, and I am still beating on it. I've never had it fail me ever, runs like a champ.

If 350 reliable hp will make you happy, get a x. I own a 9 and would love to have a ten, but I want more power, and the 8 or 9 is a better platform to make big power on as of now. Not that a ten cant do it, just better paths for a 8 or 9.
I hope to pick up a used 10 in a few years, once my 9 is paid for.

Really--- so age plays a roll in what kind of car I can drive???... I guess only "kids" drive Evos-- ohh wait only Kids can drive Evos cause they can take the beating of such a brutal car.... Just wanted to make sure I got that.. BS, keep age out the decison equation.. Any time someone uses the word " scared" in their decision criteria as the OP did, walk away.... BTW, there are plently of us old guys on this forum... old enough to be your dad.
