I'm about 90% sure I'm doing a trade in for a Lancer Evolution IX. Lets face it, the RX-8 isn't the most practical car around.. and definitly not the most reliable. I don't blame anyone but my self for not doing the research that I should have. I'll definitly stick around the forums, regardless of what I drive next.

people on this board are probably gonna say the evo isnt really more reliable than the 8.
nice choice , personally id go the Ike route with a used evo 8 because they tend to depreciate a lot and save a whole lotta money. or wait to get a new evo X. best of luck.

Thank you for the clarification.

I can vow to you that most of the issue was fixed in 05 like the flooding and rattling. I can understand the winter issue, but I question your choice of a Lancer. As a side note has anyone looked at the CX-7 yet?

Well I have an 04, so the problems being fixed in the 05/06 don't justify my situation. I'm simply moving into a new car, and the Lancer Evolution looks to be worth my $35k investment..

Well, OK, we don't really have a real winter here, so I can't comment on that one.
Good luck with the Evo - it's a fast car.

I wouldn't want to be in your situation. One could easily assume from some of your earlier posts here that your "problems" were of your own making. But hey I
know you'd rather not open up that can of worms again . I guess what I really want to say is I feel nothing but the utmost sympathy for both cars.

I never have understood Lancer Evo's. Sure, they are turbocharged and have a ricer wing on the back and all that good stuff, but the badge says Lancer to me. And Lancer's are still just $15k shitty little cars.
But, if that's what you want, go for it.

Oh no, here's an ego booster for Ike.
Bye.
Hope you finally end up with a car you can truly enjoy.

P.S. You're a jerk.

Thanks guys, I test drove the MR today.. picking up a Blue '06 sometime this week.. upgraded leather/sun roof. This car PULLS hard, but it is no where has the interior quality like the RX-8.. which is what I'm going to miss the most. Navigation, 6 cd changer, heated seats (which don't really work anyway)..
