I have a 2010 X GSR making 416whp that I daily-drive and take on cross-country roadtrips; 45k miles and counting. I had a IX GSR before and the X is a vastly superior car in pretty much every sense.

The drivelines are strong, Mitsu beefed up the transfer case compared to the 8/9's. I did have a transfer case failure covered under warranty, but that's because the factory over-filled the gear oil.

For normal daily mixed driving I seem to average right around 20MPG. On the highway you're looking at 22-26 depending on your speed.

Drivability is very good, especially on the stock clutch with stock cams. My car has retained 100% of the factory drivability no matter weather, traffic, A/C, etc.

The downsides to the car are the cheap plastic interior rattles (Presto felt and GTMat sound deadening help with this a lot) and the cost of maintenance (synthetic oil, frequent drivetrain fluid changes, tires, etc.).
