The dual clutches in these cars are very underrated by people that have never driven them. Great vid
Agreed! Thanks for watching
The stock one has a lot of issues with shift fork magnets, clutch dampers, etc. Lot of brittle stuff that breaks down compared to other DCTs. Had to have mine fully overhauled and rebuilt at only 27k, among many other owners. It was amazing after the overhaul but OEM i wouldnt be too confident in them.
@Shad if well maintained they shouldn't have many problems with stock or bolt on power. In the early years little was known about proper maintenance of them including mitsubishi services intervals for it being way to long. In reality they need to be serviced every 30000km or 18600 miles and even earlier if tracking or driving hard.
The only thing that can't be prevented and is more luck is the magnets failing which can cause only odd gears.
Had mine for 100k km no problems.
I built mine to handle more power and I agree they really do come alive after being built.
Yep. Most people ruin them. Don't let the transmission get up to temp and just send it. When maintained and driven right it's amazing. Especially upgraded with 10 plate
@justj sse Exactly right. Another mod that can help with the warming up is a heated sump which gets it up to temp much quicker and can do so while idleing not just driving.
Yeah, Mitsubishi has really gone soft. According to them these type of cars "dont fit into this time and age".
Meanwhile you got Honda building the fastest FWD hot hatch, Toyota releasing a rally car for 33k€ and Hyundai having their 80-90s JDM moment.
Yup it’s so stupid how Mitsubishi has fallen off 🥲
They really don't fit into this time and age... But still wish they'd put something special out UK
@@handymandy7819 Then why is the Yaris GR selling like hot cake?
@@xXYannuschXxWeil es kein anderes japanisches Auto mit AWD gibt. Yaris GR ist eigentlich nichts besonderes. Hat tatsächlich einen sehr guten Motor und ist sehr leicht, aber kommt niemals an Evo X AWD Fahrverhalten ran!
such a cool car. Definitely a shame that Mitsubishi has not put out any new sports cars
It’s a crying shame
Even if they just make a limited production of 8000 new Evo XI they'd sell like hotcakes, and keep them somewhat still on the side of driver to car feel.fuck the EV 😂😂 they're driving time bombs.literally 🔥🔥 I love my 2014 Evo x MR Fq-440
Evo X was my dream car for under 100K for like ever.
I have GR Yaris now and love it but a well looked after final edition Evo X would rock.
Rip Mitsubitchy.😎
GR Yaris is a nice car! pretty similar to an EVO really
Love my Evo X Final Edition. Only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that the recaros don't come in the final edition, which is strange. The manual shifter is very notchy and feels great to rip through at full throttle. Handles like a dream too.
Bro, did you know that Canada's FE came with Recaro seats with RED stitching?! I'm hunting for those seats right now 😢
How reliable is it?
I drive my canadian one daily-ish for 7 years now....Recaros and sexy BBS included. Love the seats, wouldn't be the same driving experience without them imho ;-)
To answer @gabecruz1045, only issue I had was the clutch which was a little weak for the power. Put a stage 2, but didn't change the flywheel which I regret now that I have the money, but I'll take care of it.
I love that car, it's so alive compared to all the electronic/comfy new ones. Not a cheap one to maintain, but I would be sad to sell it.
Cheers !
Nothing interesting about the FE… side marker mirrors and base lancer seats. The FQ400 or FQ440 are actually rare to brag about
The seats didn’t come in the 15 year because of safety standards. Also they added the parking assistant to the rear bumper while moving the side marker light to the mirror because of safety standards
think it depends on the year for the seat trimmings here in Aus. my 13/14 GSR has leather trimmed recaros as stock.
Awesome video mate, like everyone else i wish they had of continued the evo. =(
Thanks for the info! glad you enjoyed it.. epic cars
Ahh, the evo x! gorgeous! thr 4b11 was,definitely the better of the two.
in relation to the model variants....
Mr - auto,leather buckets, zenon headlights, heated seats and premium rockford fosgate sound and bbs wheesl
Gsr - manual, leather buckets came 2011 onwards as well as the bbs. early gsr has the enkei wheels and non leather recaro buckets .
other then that, I think that's it. I may have missed some stuff, but that pretty much the go.
appreciate that bro! hard to research that stuff
@Ross Reviews yeh 💯. that knowledge comes from just being around them over time. they did silly things with specs when they sent cars to different countries. so yeh, hard to keep it up for sure. anyhow, it was a pleasure watching as usual, mate, and appreciate your responding. take care bud
There was RS model.
No abs, no insulation, no radio, air conditioner... -100kg
The wheels do look good, but cheaped out Rotas instead of some genuine Advan RS style $$. Good looking car nontheless. Feed it some E85 and this is solid street car. Great review btw, keep them coming Ross. The roads you seem to choose are always the right ones to properly test a car too.
Appreciate the support mate! I try to take the cars to a road worthy of there performance 😈
Same roads as the isf ay
One of the most best looking iconic rally bred sports car indeed just love it ❤❤❤
Epic car
I would never say the 4b11 was a better motor than the 4g63. Everyone of my pals who have had the X's had their engines fail on them within the first year of ownership. Stock power and boost. They were pretty weak out the box. Ive got an Evo V so im in the evo clubs here in the UK etc. Lots of issues with Evo's through out the ages but they seemed to have carried over to the X. Another crazy one is the AYC pumps failing and corroding at just a few years old. Absolutely insane as they cost 1.5- 2k to replace. Deffo something to look out for if your in the market for one.
As an old school Mitsubishi fan, agreed....they have become a joke. Let's go back even before the Evo's, they had a range of cool turbocharged cars in the 1980's, Sigmas, Cordias and Starions. Mitsubishi has lost its way, but then, so have most other mainstream car makers, and if they haven't lost their way, they cease to exist.
Facts.. such a shame what they have become eh
Ralliart comparison would be good.
i would like to see the differences
I have a 2009 GSR tune by Eric Kosmic Motor sports and loving this car even more, its my daily driver for the pass 3 years sine i got it Never any problems just service regular especially that filter on the transmission, i change that every time i change my oil filter and again for over 3 years never any problems....only speeding tickets
Great video, I own an Evo X MR and live in Perth! Just wondering where you were driving in that video. I've been looking for somewhere to do some spirited driving.
Same here! Looks like Abernethy Rd to me
Dzięki za filmik, autko marzenie 😃👍👍👍
Thank you for this awesome video, I LOVE my Evo X!!! I can definitely attest to driving at a higher RPM! Your definitely driving the MR, my GSR came with FULL leather Recaro seats here in the states. Once again, awesome video bro.
I own a 2010 GSR also US spec and it came with HIDs, but not leather seats or Rockford Fosgate audio. My friend owns a 2008 GSR his came with HIDs and RF audio but also no leather seats, but his is EU spec so I don't really know what is what lol
The exterior design of evo x is better than all cars!😊
They are very hot 🔥
Evo x MR is my dream car.
I agree Mitsubishi has gone soft.
Would love to see a revival of the Evo.
Saving for a GSR out of pocket right now bc the insurance is currently too high for me to have in addition to a monthly car payment. I'm about halfway there, can't wait!
Hell yeah bro! I'm currently saving up to put down 40% down payment so the monthly isn't too bad. I would save up to just outright buy it but I truly want the payments on my credit report for auto lol
Honestly I'd get the MR (I'll just black out the chrome) because it's quicker. Known fact that manuals are obviously slower; can't shift faster than a computer!
Driver experience > Being as fast as possible.
In uk we used to get 440bhp model called fq440
that thing is a MONSTER!
I own an fq440 #24/40.living in the u.s.
When it comes to the fuel consumption and people saying how high it is, i reckon one thing people gotta realise is that the AWD plays a huge role, more weight, more maintenance, more power and torque and the engines working harder pulling all 4 wheels at the same time. Unlike your regular FWD or RWD cars (Depending on the model) the motor doesn’t need to work as hard unless if the car has a heavyweight engine. Even my mates 2.4L 08 VRX FWD lancer that he turbocharged making 300+hp, for a non evo x car (Same engine) he gets like 400-500km of tank (When he floors it) because he always travels high ways.., now if my mates lancer came with AWD it would get equally get terrible gas mileage like the evo would, It is kinda scary for these 4 bangers to be thirsty than a hulking v8 :/
I have a Evo X MR.. all I’m going to say is make sure you have $$$$ for that SST..
😅 gotta pay to play
I prefer automatic despite knowing how to drive manual. Automatics are just more convenient than manuals. But if given a choice of the Subaru WRX CVT and the manual, I'd take manual. CVT's are just shit.
Correct about BitsuMishi mate boring AF range now! Evos were such an iconic car!
its such a shame eh.. were they used to be vs now
They still are iconic .. They just needa put out ah evo that can compete with today's mainstream cars... Everybody's bragging on dodges in my area UK ... I see why but I don't like it tho 😂... Jdm cars from the 80s n 90s paved the way for everything
high horsepower evox sst is hard to tune for the street. some tuners can smooth it out. some cant.
its a proper race car these
The ultimate street car..👌
Very fast car!
I am not a triton owner and never will be. But late model tritons really are keeping up and sometimes outdoing the other utes in Aus these days. And all for less $. Literally the only thing that has kept Mitsubishi afloat.
Yeah they also won the 2019 4wd 24/7 Ute test. The Pajeros were good too but no one was buying them unfortunately. Thanks for supporting them while not owning one 👍🏻
@@howtofixyourtech9945 4wd247 is a bunch of sponsored garbage
@@LifeOfTuners I disagree. While they have a lot of sponsors, if it was bias to get money it would’ve won this year and last year. To make it fair they get experts in every department of what makes a 4wd good and they score it, so I can’t see how these tests are bias towards the manufacturer who pays them the best.
im not sure about a top spec model but all i can go off is what i have driven (work ute & a rental) both absolute cheap nasty garbage ( tho probably base models)
Yep maybe you need to drive the newer up spec models before you make blanket statements saying they are all crap
Upgraded crank hub and they are pretty sweet. Mitsubishi should bring us an updated awd eclipse to rival the other manufacturers along with another evo that comes with sunroof.
They need to make a comeback
I have the same car, it's perfect..
Great machines
My dream car man
Awesome fun
I think Mitsubishi may be investing & focusing on electrification & will bring out an electric EVO that will probably be an SUV🤷♂️‼
EV Evo, sedan, Ariya powertrains (base 250hp top 400hp), good price, reasonable build, will sell like hotcakes🔥
an electric EVO.. not sure i like the sound of that but still would be interesting to see!
Having owned 2 EVO X GSRs and my current Evo X MR , for some reason MR does feel faster haha!
MR is holding boost while rowing through gears where as the GSR wouldn’t be
what year MR would you prefer, even though they all have slight differences from packages, not the sst or motor
Try to find ones closer to the final editions. The older the SST on the MR is the more problems youll have
@@shad3128 i already bought an 08 😬… older year tranny problems is understandable that makes sense
@@shad3128 i might end up going kozmic rebuilt if that’s the case
Mitsubishi has really gone soft. Even the Triton has gone soft and shit. The MJ Tritons were Japanese and the MKs were completely comparable to the Hilux. I remember last year I remembered about the Pajero which was great and wanted to be suprised to see that they still sold them. Unfortunately of course I found out on their website that they were only selling the “final edition” Pajero. Mitsubishi has fucked up big time.
yup they just completely gave up on anything fun & exciting
Well it's not a 380 but it's a Mitsubishi so you get my vote Mr Ross 😉.
HAHA appreciate that bro
Put the 380 up against the a BA 6 or a VZ and it'll surprise you. Lots of love for the old 380. Shame about the paint but everything else about them is better.....except where the power goes to.
Loved the evo since I was a kid and dream to buy the MR one day :)
they are seriously quick!
Please come to Japan again🇯🇵🙌
I LOVE JAPAN
the only reason to switch wheels on the mr is the bbs rims it has are only 8 inch wide putting 10 inch wide rims with wider tires means more grip
good point
if you can afford to maintain the car correctly, if you get the MR save the $ for a trans rebuild and the gas bill.... such an amazing car.
the gas bill!!!! its crazy thirsty these cars
The EVOLUTION is probably my favourite japanese car along side the Civic Type R and Toyota Crown.
Would be a dream to have one VIII or X
If you could find one it would be interesting to see you review a Magna Ralliart
i want to but cant find any
my first car is a 2008 lancer, love it!
😈👌
Still crazy to think Mitsubishi thinks a new Evo won’t sell… but somehow an $80k CAD Outlander 2.4 will😂
ikr! haha how ridiculous
Well when the evo x first came out, all the wvo 8 and 9 guys couldn't stop talking about how it's not a real evo, how much better the older ones were. Sports cars are already a niche thing it doesn't help when you had people swaying others from getting anything new. Remember new bad, old good.
Looks and sounds good
They go very good
@@RossReviewsau for a lot of reasons
I want one so bad
this one is for sale ;)
It’s not an auto transmission. The SST is a manual dual clutch that can be run by the ECU or the driver. Have had one since 2018. Most reliable and fun car I ever had.
No way it’s 17L/100km. Need to wait to have it accurate. it’s 9L in hway. 12L in traffic
I’ve driven a lot of these and they are always super thirsty! More than V8s
I love brutally honest ross
HAHA i have to speak the truth
Like the looks of these ones more than the evo 9
good looking cars
This is my old car.
Stock wheels were my track wheels
Rotas were for driving to street.
MR comes with a few more things like better suspension / heated seats / wheels etc...
Legend! appreciate letting us now very cool car
awesome review
Thanks bro
Love a good turbo v6 popper streamers
Looking for a new car next year and this is one of the dream cars...would you recommend it. Kinda novice at car stuff so not sure what to go for. But nothing really excites me like this Evo and a couple of other jdms....any help would be FABBB
Yes, absolutely but keep in mind it’s expensive on insurance and fuel
I have a MY2008 delivered 2010 Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR with a SST gearbox.
It wasn't just limited to the MR.
If you had the cash, Mitsubishi would option it.
Thanks for the info
GSR only came in manual , your car is not original it’s a mixed parts car 😂😂😂
hey, what modifications were made to the stock car?
Any chance of giving the new Z a drive soon?
I’ve tried to get it no hear back from Nissan 💀
I have yet to even spot one here in WA and drive all over the metro area for work. I have a feeling there is very few here in the state.
Man that car just has fun written all over it hey & why have they stopped making them because all this climate & EV crap has scared them off ? I'd say yes the woke dogs lol,anyway it was a great review & you had a blast so thanks Johnny Mate.
Well when i am completing my Traineeship i am planning to trade my Subaru Legacy 3.0R to a mitsubishi lancer ev0 10 the same one in this video idc if it is an auto i like all cars if its manuell or auto trans
both transmissions are great TBH just depends what you want out of it
Can you please do a Ralliart comparison??
If I could find one!
Don't know if I agree with you on the Triton opinion and 4wd24-7 probably would aswell.
Have you driven one or owned a ute?
They seem to be a well priced ute, reliable and that's what the regular buyer wants in that particular range.
Most of the other brands are good but way over priced plus the hilux is not what it used to be.
He owned a Work Trition for years and said it was fcking terrible and I agree with him Hilux is still one of the best trucks ever made Triton is garbage because it’s cheap 😂
@@xclsv1350 tug tug
@@xclsv1350 Better than a ldv though 🤣
i'm going off my experience in them.. i've had one as a work truck ( Terrible ) also rented one for a weekend once.. got me to where i needed but thats it lol.. cheap garbage IMO
The triton is one big piece of 💩 I driven plenty for work and I hate them. Hilux is still superior don't know what you are talking about.
My dream car ❤
What’s the story behind your tā moko bro?
my family is from NZ i'm part maori
Chur, where do you whakapapa back to?
Just sold my X MR. I got more than I paid for it and went back to nursing school. Miss that car!
I’m sure it is missed eh
Beautiful cars these!
They are!
It’s a good damn money pit. Haha
So , not like anybody cares but I got mine when I was 21 back in 2016. It’s a 2012 gsr ,now owned pink slip ofcourse but let me tell you ! Yes ,it was a gas eater , people didn’t even believe haha “it’s a 4 cylinder “ 😂 yes ,it’s pricey to maintain but my god ,it’s the most rewarding . My advice is get your dream cat young. If it’s possible . Just get through it haha . Now I’m 28 and I own that built evo and now I’m almost half way through a 2021 srt charger .
Evo takes that win every time even then.
You need to review the 3000gt
Would love to see one!
All Mitsubishi make now is SUV's
And crap ones at that
Rip 🪦
Anyone know what head unit that is?!?!
Thanks..17 ltrs/100kms you'd be kickin yourself if you're gonna daily it def do ya homework buying cars
100% young buyers beware! This is an expensive daily ⛽️
I've got down to 9L/100km in my evo 8 when driving normally
Bring back the Evo! Evo 11?👀👀
They need too!!!
The paint matched fender vents don’t look good
Mitsubishi evo is one the best affordable enthusiast cars but right now they don't make a single car that I have interest in all
100% the prices are still attainable here.. new mitsubishis are just not the same
*”cheap tradies buy’n the Triton”* 😂😂😂 _com’n Ross, angry Karen😡had one!_
Have you had one?
🤣🤣🤣 your right she did
@@howtofixyourtech9945 an angry Karen?😜
@@thatguyben3128 sorry I get what you mean now. It was the video where the Karen was driving a Triton and flipped ross off right?
@@howtofixyourtech9945 all cool brother 👍🏼
What is that area? Because i would love to go there and drive
Obrien road
70 - 80K ….. idk where you got that number from 😅
Australia
Haha awesome commentary
🙏🙏🙏
My answer to the question on the title... NO! I was looking at getting a '14 MR for very long time, and the price point is still the same as the MSRP if not higher than it was almost 10 years ago.
So basically you're looking at buying a car for the same value a decade ago with a lot of miles, and more than likely has been modified, and ragged out.
These cars hold value because they are desirable and not made anymore.. I would argue it’s probably a safe investment tbf
@@RossReviewsau appreciate the response, but yeah I definitely already understand that. It's just not worth it in my opinion. I desire the Evo x for very long time. Almost pulled the trigger at the beginning of last year to purchase one, but said nope. Got a 911 instead lol. Still love the Evo x. I know they don't make them anymore, they're still highly desired, they still hold value and increased as well, but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
EVO X is the only good looking EVO dont @ me
The Evo V for me is arguably the best looking evo of all time. And I used to own an Evo TME.
i like all evos
Nice car but considering its being sold by next ride it would be a hard pass unless you want to get taken on your next ride lol.
What wrong with NextRide lol
@@RossReviewsau low ball on trade ins for cars that have a premium price tag on them because their deemed 'rare'. ended up getting 5k more trade in at another dealer
Bro just said they sell for 70k? Get me in contact with that buyer!
Australia $ 🇦🇺
The original new price was between $70-82,000 depending on the model, it was later reduced to (from memory) $56K for the X MR. I paid 42.5 for mine with 88k on the clock, 6k more than the dealer (Bilia Volvo in Camberwell) had advertised. Of course all the salesmen had been driving it around while it was on their inventory, and had run up the miles (even after I had signed the contract) like the dodgy pricks they were.
Evo X Forever
They go hard
Ugh this car looks like something a 16 year old would want
Why?
My mate’s got a 2019 Triton with about 40,000km on it. He hates it, says it’s a complete shitbox and is about to unload it. Just his experience and opinion.
Sad that Mitsubishi has lost the plot
Pre 2019 tritons were solid vehicles I’ve seen them go well over 350 thousand klms but this generation seem to be very hit and miss
i'm just going off the work truck i used to have.. absolute cheap garbage..
we have the 2022 tritons at work, youre right cheap feeling garbage 😏
they are trash.. maybe the top of the line one is ok.. idk but all the ones i've been in are absolutely terrible!
I'd like to see these people Sit down at the table with these car company's top brass or any employee and tell them...your trash lol! 😂😂😂
sst is quicker if you are a newbeginner
What happened to mitsubishi?...same as nissan. Renault happened i think. Damn shame
RIP :(
Mods, don't trash it. 🥴👍
How the hell a 2L turbo manages to get 17L/100km is beyond me. Even the Territory Turbo supposedly drank less than that.
It’s insane how thirsty this car is
@@RossReviewsau how many km can it cover for a full tank ?
@@nafisjuraimi6882regular street driving in normal mode I get about 150miles on a full tank and a full tank of highway driving about 250 somewhere around there.
@@swaytv. thank you so much
@@nafisjuraimi6882 no problem bro!💯
Evo x has 300 lb torque
Seems like they're just pandering. Playing it safe.SUVs and work utes. Yr right they're not putting themselves on the line like other car companies. Soft.
they are only making the safe SUV for the normies now
I’m not a Mitsubishi fan but the comment about the Triton being garbage is bs, probably one of the most reliable utes on the market!
I had a work triton for years with the city of Stirling 💀🤮 worst vehicle I’ve ever driven sorry
I think both of you are looking at it differently. Ross I'm guessing you are talking about the driving experience while rwd is talking about it as a work tool
WA wtf?
SST is fked anything bro.
Wa mate
I'm sorry Ross - you obliterate Mitsubishi for not making these anymore and spending money on Tritons, yet you point out what was the reasons behind it - poor fuel economy etc etc. Not sure you know that Mitsubishi went bankrupt and was bought out by the Nissan Renault Alliance for dirt cheap. So their products will depend on what they allow Mitsubishi to focus on without eating into their segments.
I know it’s a lot to do with Renault but still I just can’t tolerate how low Mitsubishi’s become.. from one of the JDM greats to literally worse than Renault.. it’s just such a shame
@@RossReviewsau I think us enthusiasts tend to look at these things through rose tinted glasses - no one in this day and age wants a new performance compact sedan that has fuel economy of a v6/v8, has the interior quality of a $20k car, rides like crap and cost $50k+. If you're a person who can afford those, they've already moved on to the germans. Mitsubishi would need to invest a lot of $$ into a dying segment that no one buys into for little return. Can make a hell of a lot more money by doing a sticker pack for Tritons in Thailand. You often talk about the loss of the aussie v8, well if people were buying them, we could still have them.
My isf gets to 100 quicker than this 4.4scnds😁 👌
ISF is quick
Renault drained Nissan and Mitsubishi dry
RIP
I don't like Renault 😭🤣... Mitsubishi lackin but the question is will they Mitsubishi pick up the slack one day?
17 mpg 😂
Very thirsty

🇦🇺😈🇦🇺
5.5 to 60mph is
Awful
100kph and not really that bad
Preaching to the choir mate! Mitsubishi has lost it, and Nissan isn’t far behind. Shadows of what they used to be! Hyundai/Kia have swamped them
facts! im only interested in the Nissan 400Z now.. very true with Hyundai/Kia picking up a lot of slack
@@RossReviewsau oh yes, I’d like to have a turn in one of them 😂
