The point of the X was to be more refined and that's fine. I'm not complaining. I think an X would make a terrific daily driver. Comfortable, quite and like the OP said, no as much "mechanical" sound. Still has all the performance incase you want a bit of a thrill on the drive home from work, haha.
I'd love to test drive the X next time I'm at the dealer. I think it's going to turn out to be a great car, but I'm sure it'll defiantly have it's signature flaws like the VII-IX's do. What car doesn't?
My brother in law and sister are looking for an AWD sedan. I'm trying to get the to go for the Evo X

Acceleration was not as hard, but I chalk that up to the A/C being on during the drive. I really didn't get enough of a drive to compare the acceleration between the IX and X, unfortunately. I'm sure one of the new X owners will be able to provide a detailed comparo between the accelerationand the powerband. The interior noise has definitely been diminished from the IX. You no longer can "hear" the car as well as previous models.
