^ i was just joking lol... mod for mod all evos are amazing cars... as is any stock turbo... but... the X has been doing well for how much was expected from it. Once you mod - who cares its not apples to apples... so lets not even go there. Honestly - If you are going to mod the crap out the car - get an evo and pick whatever one you think looks better... regardless of VIII -> X it wont really matter... they all can be reaaalllyyy fast

Where are you getting this from...Iv owned two cars of both makes and they are both great for reliability plus the mitsu's make more power for way cheaper. I have an associates in applied science for automotive and have been a mechanic for almost six years btw. As for the op these cars are toatally different animals. If you live somewhere where you get snow and have more than one freind (lol jk) I mean if you need four doors than the evo is probably your best bet. And don't go off of a brand new test drive in the x because most dealerships will put the ecu in valle mode so people don't thrash then wich makes it a very dissapointing experience. Gl with the decision

You are a bit late Mitsuyager9. The OP posted this more than a 1 year ago.

if you need a back seat you'll probably want to go with the evo lol.

evo 9!!!!!
