ALWAYS LOVED THE EVO OVER SUBARU FROM DAY ONE I LOVE THE SHAPE OF IT BRILLIANT CAR GLAD HAMMOND PLULLED THE TRIGGER AND INVESTED IN ONE ITS A PROPER CLASSIC CAR
Part way through while watching Ben drive, I pictured the white helmet and how many times I've seen him before. Finally seeing that intensity we couldn't see for so many memorable laps made me happy and sad about what a missed opportunity he was outside of the costume. What a legend.
I went from an M3 to my Evo and it was interesting to note the difference in reaction from other road users. There were times you could almost feel the hate of some people towards a BMW driver and yet in the Evo I would receive waves or nods from other drivers and people would often comment favourably at the petrol station or car parks. Never seemed to generate any resentment.
Absolutely loved seeing these two battle against one another! Get Izzy on more presenting videos for this channel! It's a breath of fresh air seeing and listening to someone who isn't completely TV and media trained.
@smartgorilla from what I see in the comments, majority seems to approve of a non car enthusiast. Obviously, the top gear three will never be beaten. However, I think the original review of Martin she done was class.
why ? easy to work on 100 percent goes to subaru .reliable is debatable ... just because the evo can get more power out the box doesn't make it more reliable ...
@@Charkunt.d5Remove the battery, air intake, washer reservoir, done. Doesn't take long. Try doing spark plugs on a 3.6l Dodge Journey, now THAT is a nightmare.
For their entire product lifetimes, these cars were basically just seperated by their engine position and layout. The Scoob was always fighting physics with it's high mounted long engine slung out front, whereas the Evo with it's short transverse low engine was an inherently much better balanced car front to rear. Having worked at prodrive for 6 years during the height of these cars reign, both on the WRC and road car projects, with the scoob you could choose between a nice handling balance OR max LatG, whereas with the Evo you could find a setup to do both. Basically the Scoob always understeered if you set it up for max LatG, which drivers hated, and this really was why it was never a very successful tarmac car, as opposited to on loose surfaces with more low gear, low friction accels where the mass distribution worked more in it's favour. Over the years and models, FHI threw more and more tech at the scoob chassis to try to help things out, but at the end of the day, you just can't beat the laws of physics. Evo for me, every time....... ;-)
Can you clarify what you mean by the Subarus engine mounted high, slung out front? Compared to the evos very much upright transverse four. Nearly the entire Subaru brochures from yesteryear banged on about the 'low slung' flat four.
@@PPC4it’s mounted low correct, but the engine is hanging out in the front of the car to make room for the gearbox. The front wheel axles go directly in the gearbox hence the engine is pushed out to the front of the car. So you have the engine connected to the gearbox and the front wheel axels going into the gearbox. Hence the engine needs to hang out front. The Evo has to do a 90degree turn via the gearboxes to get the power to the front wheels.
@@PPC4 Ah the power of "marketing" What FHIs marketing department did was actually really quite clever, and the managed to hoodwink a lot of people, including most of the motoring press of the time. FHI claimed "our flat four engine has a low center of gravity" which is in fact absolutely true. A bare engines CofG is measured in terms of it's height above the crankshaft centre line, so yes, a flat engine indeed has the lowest possible CofG architecutrally speaking. What FHI failed to mention, was that the thing that actually matters is the INSTALLED CofG, and here, things go south quickly. Firstly, you need to leave space under the engine for exhaust manifolds and the sump, so the crank has to be high relative to the lowest installed point of the engine. Secondly, you have to couple the engine to a transmission and have a clutch, which in a road car that needs a practical/affordable clutch (ie no 80mm carbon-carbon race clutches here) means the engine again gets lifted up. So, when you measure the engine CofG when installed in a Scoob, it actually ends up higher than that of a well installed transverse inline engine ie like the Evo has. Then because of the 4wd system that FHI was wedded too (See: "marketing" again) that engine has to be infront of the front axle lateral centre line, so now not only is your engine high, it's well forwards too. So, your vehicle is now absolutely laid out in a physically non-optimum fashion, and nothing can change that. You always have a high CofG, a large polar moment of intertia and a forwards mass distribution. You can mess with chassis settings to try to dynamically move that mass around, but ultimately, everything you do to achieve that reduces max lateral acceleration, ie cornering speed.......
@maxtorque2277 Sweet point, I never thought about how far forward the flat 4 sits, make so much sense now when I drove a new wrx couldn't work out why it felt like it understeered far worse than a awd should, heck the fwd Renault's we had had less understeer than the new wrx
6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4
The amount of people who don’t know this is mental. You can never get rid of understeer in a subaru unless you run active diffs like the wrc cars did. Terrible weight distribution and the heavy engine mounted miles upfront just like an Audi. Internet talk always said they just need a stiffer rear anti roll bar, lol they need more than that. The engine indeed is mounted high up aswell, sheep just consume all the marketing BS. Even a ford cosworth from the 80’s/90’s has a better weight distribution and gearbox design.
Can confirm, moderm hakone 86 gen1 BEATS THE EVO 9 stock... coworker that had one nearly sold his off before deciding our crew was right and he should upgrade the motor on its next rebuild... like its hard to decide to mode a mint rarer car but theres a REASON both wrx and subaru owners of cars from the era typically change things... I Love my hakone 86 stock but Ive got an hks kit waiting for the rebuild after Im out of the warrenty period, 276 is ALOT more power to set it up for straight line speed (I bought it for its agility in the turns as I have motorcycles for speed, my fireblade currently hits 213mph, but they cant compare to cars in the ozarks and back roads because of all the cornering needed)
Mitsubishi and Nissan are part of Renault and all three use same architecture now for all models. EVO will never come back as too costly for a single model and the WRX is pretty much at the end of its life cycle. RIP both of you.

They decided to retire to give Subaru a chance to catch up
I’ve had mine 20 years now and I still love exploring the strengths and weaknesses of both cars. Both forever classics now. Living the memories all over again with this episode.😎
The "battle" between these two cars just made each of them ever better. They both had their strong and weakpoints. When they met on the street, they put a smile on your face if you were in the other.
Both excellent cars, but I'd prefer Subaru any day over Evo. Plus, I wanted to see Richard Hammond in his Subaru and Mike in his Evo to have that last ride to verdict that which car is best and also have a drag race as well. I mean, Richard Hammond is known for car stuff, so it'd be logical to have him there with the ex stig Ben Collins. Lastly, I love your content and love the humour to give us Mike and Richard Hammond ❤️.
Mike is absolutely brilliant. I've been watching a lot of Drivetribe lately, old and new. And his progression is absolutely unreal. He was never bad to watch. But now he's just top notch. Could literally be an entirely different person.
Having enjoyed a few Mitsi's from a VR4 to an AWD Magna/Diamente Sport and an Evo3 and 5 their AWD systems are incredible along with the chassis dynamics which makes them a great all round sport sedan, the motorsports heritage and the resulting trickle down engineering makes them a really fun thing especially on the loose stuff.
I would think lap lines won't match when also conducting an interview. Mike can drive. Izzy got better at driving a stick. And Ben is awesome! Love Drive Tribe! ❤
Evo feels like a bland econo box , even though it is the better chassis. Faster But Subaru feels better built . Feels beefier . Boxer engine, low center of gravity, helps to make it that balance feel. It feels fasst And I am an evo fan
Watching both Mike and Ben absolutely hammer these 2 cars on the track was so sublime! I LOVE watching such content and I hope DT can make more of this.
There is this place in Hungary where you pay like 200 eur and you can hoon around both cars for some laps, having driven both the subaru and the evo back to back i can say that the eveo felt abit more manageable, some how more planted and more confidence inspiring.
We need more! This was such a great episode, all smiles the entire way. Great job Izz, but you're wrong about that intake noise, it sounds fabulous on the EVO. My friend had an EVO VII also and he put on a K&N, and I loved it. He always parked it at my house when he was gone on business trips and I would drive it around.
Loved seeing Izzy going a bit beyond her comfort zone and ripping the RPMs a bit higher on both cars. Great video. More of this kind of videos, pretty pleeeeeeeease.
Its unbelieavable that Mitsubishi with 100hp less still wins vs the subaru! I'm sad that they didnt compare Evo X vs the best Subaru at that time, i heard that Evo X was on a league on it's own for like 3-4 years with nothing from anyone, including Subaru to be able to match it, Subaru was releasing new versions almost every year and Mitsubishi just standed there unchallenged and unchanged for all those years as undefeated. I like both but when it comes to choose between Subaru or Mitsubishi i will go with Mitsubishi, however... It's a tragedy what happened to this amazing brand, wanted to buy a new car this year and went to a Mitsubishi Dealer to upgrade from my Mitsubishi Colt 2010 Facelift and guess what i've found, No Lancer, Let alone Ralliart or Evo, but you can buy a brand new Colt! Which is just a Renault Clio with some special trims, i was thinking ok sure... np at least the engine is Mitsubishi right? No... the engine is also Renault, including the hybrid version which is an original Nissan Engine modified by Renault, the entire car is just a Renault Clio and they have reduced an amazing brand like Mitsubishi to just a freaking TRIM! I'm starting to hate Renault with passion.
Got to love a 4G63 Mitsubishi: fun...when it works. Honestly, I love seeing Izzy, Mike, and Ben all at once. You got someone who is still new to cars, an enthusiast, and a true racecar driver. It's also nice to see Ben drive without a helmet, and man...that powerslide with the Subaru was pure art.
Been waiting for this video. I saw you guys (and the cars) at hotel in bridgend when you guys went to film this. Another great video, keep it going!!! 🎉🎉
Welp, looks like the evo was faster, but it wasn't ready to leave... Subaru for life :P Joking aside, both cars are amazing, and there is a reason to why both of them are classic, there is no wrong choice just preference... And i prefer Martin
What the heck happened to that flywheel? I am guessing the clutch got way over heated during the laps, and when the clutch / flywheel cooled down it cracked?
these cars make being a car guy that much sweeter...I've only ever driven a WRX wagon with a turbo...bone stock...and thought it was pretty decent...now I gotta find someone nice to loan me an Evo for an afternoon...
My favourite DT video of the year!!! Please fix the EVO up… we need more videos of these two, maybe a road trip in them both (they deserve windy roads with a background of mountains and lakes!)
I've been a bit apprehensive about Drivetribe videos recently. But as soon as you get Mike and Ben taking shots at each other or trying to wind each other up I'm like, yep this was worth it
I’ve had both and I’d say evo puts power down better and handles better but scoops may be slightly faster in a straight line but it’s only fair if all things are equal which will never happen. Evo for me
Which car would you take home? 🤔 thanks to Bridgestone for sponsoring today's video, check out the Potenza Sports here: www.bridgestone.co.uk/car-tyres/summer-tyres-potenza/sport?
My head says Evo, heart says Scooby, wallet says 1.3 cdti corsa!
ALWAYS LOVED THE EVO OVER SUBARU FROM DAY ONE I LOVE THE SHAPE OF IT BRILLIANT CAR GLAD HAMMOND PLULLED THE TRIGGER AND INVESTED IN ONE ITS A PROPER CLASSIC CAR
It’s the evo for me
Why didn't ben wear his stig outfit
no ones driving that evo home, at least you got a reason to put a banging clutch in it!
No wonder she was scared to put her foot down on accelerator pedal - she's got accident-prone Richard Hammond genes.
She is smart girl.
lol
Wife material smart!
cars are art
I don't care who wins, I just want to see both to live on and be seen on the roads.
Preach
😂😂 Ben yanking on the handbrake mid corner. Absolutely no fear
Ben: "Handbrakes a bit milky, init"
Mike: "Don't you dare"
Ben: *laughs in already did*
He must have at least a little confidence in Mike's driving ability, banter aside.
@OldWhitebelly he has to. Riding passenger on track and just casually pulling your buddies e-brake? I might know 1 person I'd trust to do that to.
@@GregoryGreg87 That's one more than I know ;)
I like this, getting a non “enthusiast” take on cars is fun to watch. Probably the most accurate take.
Part way through while watching Ben drive, I pictured the white helmet and how many times I've seen him before. Finally seeing that intensity we couldn't see for so many memorable laps made me happy and sad about what a missed opportunity he was outside of the costume. What a legend.
Evo rules!
I agree. Ben is an amzing driver, and being able to see his body language and demeanor as he went round is pretty cool.
yep the full opposite lock is classic stig around the hammerhead
NGL this was the one thing i loved about Top Gear was watching Stig do a Burning Lap with their cars its just so much fun to watch
"Wha-... what's going on here? Why am I on the passanger seat?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I'm showing you the track." 😂😂😂
I went from an M3 to my Evo and it was interesting to note the difference in reaction from other road users.
There were times you could almost feel the hate of some people towards a BMW driver and yet in the Evo I would receive waves or nods from other drivers and people would often comment favourably at the petrol station or car parks. Never seemed to generate any resentment.
That's bc the EVO has working turn signals.
@@ejejjeje lol
I have yet to hear someone comment "Look at that cool guy in that BMW!" that wasn't a BMW diver themselves...
I was a huge evo fan growing up but I can appreciate both now
You are just being polite. EVO is a far superior vehicle :)
I was always an evo guy but got a subaru after a test drive. The sound is beautiful
@@Kevinwoolford123 I’m seeing Subaru and Mitsubishi fans switching sides before my very eyes
@@Kevinwoolford123 Evo is somewhat reliable. Subaru is a endless nightmare. :P
Anybody whos driven both will tell you as a daily the subaru is better but for a b road basher the evo is better
Blown head gasket says what?
@@sethjansson5652😂 brilliant
100% agree.
As a Subaru fan, Yellow EVO VIII is an exception.
@@sethjansson5652yet the evo was the one that broke down👀
The way Ben drove that Subaru was shivering
Hamsterette's transformation from her first lap to her last was impressive. And enjoying the passenger seat while Ben drive...VERY impressive.
Absolutely loved seeing these two battle against one another!
Get Izzy on more presenting videos for this channel! It's a breath of fresh air seeing and listening to someone who isn't completely TV and media trained.
Nah not for me. Soo basic
@smartgorilla from what I see in the comments, majority seems to approve of a non car enthusiast. Obviously, the top gear three will never be beaten. However, I think the original review of Martin she done was class.
I love how Izzy is just slating the intake on the evo while Mike is loving it 😂😂
Watching Ben around the track is AWESOME
“The subaru is more reliable and easier to work on ” vs an evo is utter madness
I thought the same thing, crazy.
why ? easy to work on 100 percent goes to subaru .reliable is debatable ... just because the evo can get more power out the box doesn't make it more reliable ...
@@jackgtir1 how about we try changing spark plugs, or a timing belt, or remove the turbo?
Reliable and subaru don't go together
@jaroslavmrazek5752 can literly do any one inside an hour ... ever done a clutch in an evo ? Lol
Nice to see the baby Hamster going the way of the Hamster
meh
She hasn't crashed yet, so not really.
😂 give her time. You can see she enjoys the car world more and more with every video she's in.
I’ll watch anything with Ben on the track. Always enjoyable.
Soon as he said the subaru is "more reliable and easier to work on" I almost spat my drink
Same! 😅
Ever tried to change a set of plugs on an old ej20! Unless you have the right tools! It’s a nightmare! 😅
@@Charkunt.d5Remove the battery, air intake, washer reservoir, done. Doesn't take long. Try doing spark plugs on a 3.6l Dodge Journey, now THAT is a nightmare.
I'm an absolute idiot and it took me less than an hour to do plugs on my ej20.
Came here to say that. But I guess more people caught it. 😅
I was just about to write the same, so we know he hasnt owned any of them. I have owned both, only problem on EVO was the ayc rear diff
Watching Ben go around the track makes me so happy. Him going off road in the Evo just screamed Gambon Corner...

How could you hate either one? I’m a Subaru guy, and always have been, but I can still appreciate how amazing evos are!
Same here! My best friend had an Evo X and it was fun to work on it and it was fast
Love Izzy she's such a ball of fun and following in her dads footsteps makes things even more awesome, keep up the good work team!
Ben saying SEGA Rally made me happy!

put a Subaru Impreza spec C, not a normal European Impreza like this one, evo lose
Who is faster?
Really really enjoyed that! Ben Mike and Izzy easily the next 'Top gear' Trio
Am I seeing these three as the new era Clarkson, Hammond and May! YES!! Need more of you three together 🥳
Both brilliant cars, iconic in every way.
Evo feels like a bland econo box , even though it is the better chassis. Faster
But Subaru feels better built . Feels beefier .
Boxer engine, low center of gravity, helps to make it that balance feel. It feels fasst

The cars with Ben: Yeah BABY 🤣
That's awesome guys that you got Bridgestone as a Tyre partner. Fair play 🤘🏻
I’ve owned both. Own an VA sti now. Love them both.

It's also nice to see Ben drive without a helmet, and man...that powerslide with the Subaru was pure art.
I cant decide, Need both in my life
Quality 💪 Love both of these so much, This WHOLE series was top content 👏
The turbo flutter from the evo never gets old
That was one of the best videos you've done so far! Absolutely smashed it, all three of you.
The subaru had her screaming like she was in a roller coaster ,the evo had her looking like she was on a relaxing boat ride.
We need James and Rich to do it
Then we're talking 🗣️🗣️
Greetings from San Diego! Awesome Padres hat, glad to see it! Classic WRX vs Evo showdown. Like a Kobe vs Jordan debate.
Id choose a evo anyday anytime.. that 4g63t is a monstrous 4cyl motor
Mike is a pretty solid instructor tbh. Nice!
The Stig sent the flywheel flying :D
Been waiting for this video. I saw you guys (and the cars) at hotel in bridgend when you guys went to film this. Another great video, keep it going!!! 🎉🎉
Subaru every time i just love the noise of a boxer engine
What I’d give to sling those cars around a race track
Welp, looks like the evo was faster, but it wasn't ready to leave... Subaru for life :P
Joking aside, both cars are amazing, and there is a reason to why both of them are classic, there is no wrong choice just preference... And i prefer Martin
When I was younger I would have bought the Subaru no questions asked but as I have aged and worked on both of these cars I would buy the Mitsubishi.
What the heck happened to that flywheel? I am guessing the clutch got way over heated during the laps, and when the clutch / flywheel cooled down it cracked?
Ridden with Ben in full attack. The guy is next level.
Collins is always awesome!!! 👍😊👊💥
I was stunned a couple of weeks back to pass Martin - with Mike at the wheel, I think - on the road. I may have even shouted out loud 🤣
these cars make being a car guy that much sweeter...I've only ever driven a WRX wagon with a turbo...bone stock...and thought it was pretty decent...now I gotta find someone nice to loan me an Evo for an afternoon...
Why not 'Mitsubishi vs Subaru' or 'EVO vs STi'?
My favourite DT video of the year!!! Please fix the EVO up… we need more videos of these two, maybe a road trip in them both (they deserve windy roads with a background of mountains and lakes!)
What a driver Ben in, that was insane
Love both cars, But prefer the WRX. The suby rumble is unmatched.
Uuuuh Kenya to the world. Awesome of you rocking the bracelet .Ps Evo ndo inaweza lakini subi ndo Tunapenda!!
I've been a bit apprehensive about Drivetribe videos recently. But as soon as you get Mike and Ben taking shots at each other or trying to wind each other up I'm like, yep this was worth it
two things I really like about this video.. one the yellow eco and 2 his San Diego padres cap! GO pads!
Im glad to have inspired you in Drive Mike, I'm literally him btw
I’ve had both and I’d say evo puts power down better and handles better but scoops may be slightly faster in a straight line but it’s only fair if all things are equal which will never happen. Evo for me
I Agree with you Mike!!!!!!! Evo is King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Onw off the best ever video you guys have done really suprising result
I would have bought an WRX if they still had the Martin look, went for a Brz instead
Can these three be the new hosts of the grand Tour? This vid is brilliant 👏
