It's funny how they keep on comparing the standard STi to an FQ version of an Evo and not the standard Evo version itself.. If you're going to put an FQ version on the track might as well as putting a Spec-C or an RA and RA-R version on the track too. This is unfair for the scooby man.
The FQ version is the Sti version of the evo... The GSR is the base model meaning they should then compare it to the wrx and we both know the subaru will lose horrible
@And_yes_were_back No! All Evos are GSR. For the U.K market, the FQ 300 is the standard Evo. It is equivalent to a base model Evo in Japen and else where! U.K. put the FQ moniker on their Evos staring with the 7 to the 10
I wasn't a fan of the Bug eye Impreza but when the Blob eye update came it made it look better and the Evo 7 is actually a nice Evo but would be better if it was evo 7 front and evo 8 rear
And explain me why the the Evo's 6-speed its a sensible bomb with the shift in the hard way than the 5-speed ones? Don't be a such a selfish fanboy as it was the Camaro boys.
Mitsubishi EVO is discontinued. It's a shame... But I have to say the inline engines can make more power much easier than a flat engine, but Flats sound better and can make more power if done correctly. They are both great cars.
Automotive interiors has come such a long way since then. Nowadays you cannot even sell a cheap looking corolla without the customers going to cheaper, better looking alternatives.
I've owned both evo's and sti's. can't go wrong with either. the years in this video aren't the best lookers in my opinion. older is better in my opinion as the newer ones seem to get heavier and heavier each year.
My dad used to own these exact two models of the Evo and the WRX. And after having experienced both of these cars I think I’m gonna have to give it to the Evo. Their both legendary cars but the Evo VII is just an absolute beast.
Going to give it to the impreza, I've had mine 8 yrs with little mods, coilovers, decent tires they are quicker than most evos, 2010+ sports cars, then ad a proper toe setup, and ur keeping up with almost anyone on the touge, boxer engines are balanced well, As why they also use them in the porches
Evo is a better race car and better acceleration subaru only has a better interior and nobody buys an evo for interior and evos make horsepower way easier and thats facts right and even tho mitsubishi stop making evos the new subarus still cant beat them in acceleration or make power easier all subaru has is, is interior subaru is more of that in between race car and normal sedan evo is full racecar
@@mitchellfelix9712 Performance? Stock - marginally. Modified - definitely. You mod it though, and it goes to the scrapyard within about three years anyway, so it doesn't matter. Also, it's not the best for racing, either. In the WRC, where the biggest competition was happening, Subaru won the Manufacturer's and Driver's title three times each, with Colin McRae (1995), Carlos Sainz, Richard Burns (2001), Tommi Mäkinen and Petter Solberg (2003) all giving them wins. It would have been 4 Driver's titles, but McRae lost 1997 by one point. Mitsubishi may have had four Driver's title, but all were with Tommi Mäkinen, and only won one Manufacturer's title (1998), and that was down to Burns, scoring two victories that year that would have otherwise made Toyota the champions that year. So, in those regards, STi > Evo.
Same as braking on ice with abs and without. It's natural difference. Power +active diffs what you expected. Subaru is for drivers who want to decide, Mitsubishi is for those who think they can but afraid truth. Still both cars are great in their different style. Subaru spec c is what to compare with Evos. Euro WRX is lighter version of Japanese boxer.
Unfortunately, it’s kinda sad that neither could truly reach 300,000 troublefree miles, but then again most performance cars of this calibre can’t. Be it from Pontiac, Ford, BMW, or Audi
Sorry to be such an anorak but I don't think thats a genuine FQ300 it's a RS2 import. (276bhp) The FQ300s doesn't have the fog light in the rear bumper or a back wiper and the radio and heater switches are swapped round and that car doesn't have the carbon dash insert.
Dms Master not really. evo 8 and sti blobeye above yes. But Evo 7 and sti version of this bugeye (except wrx and rs) still considered to be illegal in states.
+chris scott sti is the turbo wrx. there is the base model wrx and then there is the wrx sti with spoiler rims turbo and all the other extra bells and whistles. both wrx
Top gear,Top speed , top acceleration.. Subaru is more popular than the mitsubishi Lancer evolution 🍒🍓🍋🌳🌴🌵🌾🌿☘🍀🍊🍉🍈🍏🍎🍍🍌🍄🍑🌶🌽🍆🌰🍕🌭🍞🧀🌮🌯🍖🍗🍿🍲🍔🍟🍱🍠🍝🍛🍜🍜🍚🍙🍘🍢🍣🍤🍤🍥🍡🍡🍦🍨⚱🏺🍳🍴🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺🍻🍽🍶🍵☕🍼🍯🍮🍭🍧🍩🍪🎂🍰🍫🍬🍸🕉🏀
Evo 2 seconds faster per lap, over a entire race the Evo would be lapping the sti... How can anyone try and argue the sti is better. If you want a comfortable daily drive buy European if you want a street legal rally car but a Evo. Nothing has changed over the gens also the Evo x is still quicker than a 15 sti around a track
+GolfinAus because they are rally cars not track cars, compare how many wins they have in wrc, subaru has 47 all with impreza, and Mitsubishi has 34 and only 26 are with a lancer. So basically the imprezza has won almost twice as many championships as the lancer. Also you missed the part where he said the evo was getting brake fade after 3 laps, at that pace he wouldn't have finished a race. they are both great cars and have been since they were released. ive owned an impreza and would absolutely buy an evo, love them both. The evo is faster around the track and arguably the better looking car, but you cant deny the sti is the better rally car. plus the sti is cheaper than evo. not saying one is overall better than the other...you said how can anyone argue sti is better
Luke Kindred No, you don't. If it were pronounced that way it would either be spelled as "Impretza" or "Imprezza". But there's no T and there's only 1 Z. The Japanese pronunciation doesn't involve a T sound either.
Luke Kindred Yes, all 3 say it differently, but my point is the UK adds a T sound where it doesn't belong. The name isn't Italian. It's a twist to the word "impressive".
Top gear, they love Evos. Fifth gear, loves Imprezas.
Evos for life
Thats true
only cause they couldn't figure out the vehicle dynamic control system on the Subbie.
I bought everything Jeremy Clarkson was selling until I heard him say the Subaru sounds awful.
Nothing will change the fact that Top Gear murdered an Evo 7.
Huge Subaru fan but I can't deny my love for evos.....
Same here
respect
mynameischefTV I only like the Evo x
I know that feeling
mynameischefTV Damn!
It's funny how they keep on comparing the standard STi to an FQ version of an Evo and not the standard Evo version itself.. If you're going to put an FQ version on the track might as well as putting a Spec-C or an RA and RA-R version on the track too. This is unfair for the scooby man.
Tai Ha they're not sell sti spec c and ra in uk though
Tai Ha they sell the type 25 thoe haha
The FQ version is the Sti version of the evo... The GSR is the base model meaning they should then compare it to the wrx and we both know the subaru will lose horrible
@And_yes_were_back No! All Evos are GSR. For the U.K market, the FQ 300 is the standard Evo. It is equivalent to a base model Evo in Japen and else where! U.K. put the FQ moniker on their Evos staring with the 7 to the 10

what's wrong with the red tach on the evo? that thing's beautiful
+Rodolfo Alfonso Couldn't agree more
+Rodolfo Alfonso And the impreza also has red dials wtf..
+Pixel dirt 8
Eder Ortiz ?
Red dial is better for visual in the day
Iv been lucky enough to own both cars in the past and I can tell you that they are both as good as each other.
Both of these cars a re legends I love them both
I wasn't a fan of the Bug eye Impreza but when the Blob eye update came it made it look better and the Evo 7 is actually a nice Evo but would be better if it was evo 7 front and evo 8 rear
You are right.
Evo all the way for me.
Back when cars were good.
Didn't they take these to a super special rally stage at one time?
That bugeye Prodrive Impreza looks great. I love that front, it looks cute OwO
Both are awesome
Agreed
What a coincidence, Top Gear uploaded an Impreza vs Evo video on TH-cam 2 hours ago LOL.
Was going to say the same thing.. the top gear comparo is a later generation though
and the same speech in the beginning lol
whiteynator
Well everybody knows that Fifth Gear is a bunch of people who tries to be top gear but suck at it..
Bender Rodriquez
Yea true. But me and most others like Toper Gear more :D
//////M POWER On the track maybe. On the rally stage lol nope.
Good old times the 2000’s watching every week each Top & Fifth Gear episode , miss those times
evo is just a superior car, daily driver the sti it's more comfortable for racing and the track the evo is much better(sharper)
And explain me why the the Evo's 6-speed its a sensible bomb with the shift in the hard way than the 5-speed ones? Don't be a such a selfish fanboy as it was the Camaro boys.
AXL163 What about those shitty EJ engines?
Those bug eyes are finally growing on me after 20 years!
Mitsubishi EVO is discontinued. It's a shame... But I have to say the inline engines can make more power much easier than a flat engine, but Flats sound better and can make more power if done correctly. They are both great cars.
the back ground song calld "star guitar" also theme song of WRC3 from PS2
WRC 2 Extreme Menu Theme
Automotive interiors has come such a long way since then. Nowadays you cannot even sell a cheap looking corolla without the customers going to cheaper, better looking alternatives.
Compare 2:17 - 2:22 to 3:21 - 3:25
Which is better?
Not all STI's understeer. My spec c will oversteer like that. Type RA and Type R also are very oversteer prone.
evo all day every day sexiest car on the planet followed by ford focus rs
Both are fabulous cars, the subaru personally for me 👍👍👍👍👍
I’ve had both cars loved the wrx till it started going wrong, love my evo 8
can anyone tell me what music was playing at 2:16 please ..really nice one...
did you ever find the name of the song?
I've owned both evo's and sti's. can't go wrong with either. the years in this video aren't the best lookers in my opinion. older is better in my opinion as the newer ones seem to get heavier and heavier each year.
Tiff is one of the finest drivers there is.
Evo all the way👍
EvoForLife EVOs are Subaru technica international wannabe
Subaru Guy Actually the sti came out after the evos success
Camaro Guy
*changes name to Camaro Guy*
Such a loyal Subaru lover!
Dragoned RotMG listen my dream car is a 2002 Camaro z28
i loved the music, sounded like colin mcrea rally 03 menu music
Evo performance. Subaru passion.
4:48 "with the money saved" you'll be buying head gaskets plural LOL sorry had to say it from an evo guy
Still less than drivtrains in Evo...
Have and service both xD
Whats that rally them song near the start i can never find the name
My dad used to own these exact two models of the Evo and the WRX. And after having experienced both of these cars I think I’m gonna have to give it to the Evo. Their both legendary cars but the Evo VII is just an absolute beast.
WRX aint an STI luv

@@tomaskroupakkfoto4132 Haha, Evo's wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for Subaru's🤣
@@tomaskroupakkfoto4132 Negative, over 320,000 on my 03 subie 😋, love evo's aswell though, there's alot of salty evo fan boys as you might know..🙂
How about reviewing the new 2015 WRX? would really appreciate it! :)
So you got scared in the evo so you place the wrx as the winner 😂
@Sideways G Fifth Gear comments section is a cesspit.
Tiff now tell my why you always found yourself sitiing in the STI... i can't explain it either allthough the EVO is a better car.
Simple, one sounds better than the other
The bug eye is SOOOOOOO CUTE
He had me about the Subie being more reliable until he said "greater look"🤣
Had my 03 subie for 8 yrs ❤, I've only really heard of the evos failing from multiple friends and others, Subies are great if you look after them
Funny that Top Gear just made the same video 2 hours ago. Well fifth gear DEFINETLY doesent copy Top Gear....

Was the music star guitar and also remind you of wrc 2 extreme on ps2
Impressive grip from these classics.
one of their best episodes ever!
Evolution is better than the STI
chin jiafu how do you figure that now ???
something something opinions :)
But Mitsubishi is broke and discontinued the Evo oppose to Subaru still going strong with STI. lol
Evo is a better race car and better acceleration subaru only has a better interior and nobody buys an evo for interior and evos make horsepower way easier and thats facts right and even tho mitsubishi stop making evos the new subarus still cant beat them in acceleration or make power easier all subaru has is, is interior subaru is more of that in between race car and normal sedan evo is full racecar

anybody know what the music in the beginning is? It sounds so familiar but I cant seem to remember
It's from WRC on the PlayStation 2
+Aiman Shariff Rosli YES!
Subaru Impreza
Sorry but the Evo 7 by far looks better
Well take a 1999 or 2000 Impreza and it will look some much better
+Killing 85 2000 is the same as the 2001 and 2002
LuisWRXSTi wrong the lights are different and the rims ( i am not fully sure on the lights) And i think the grill in some spots
+LuisWRXSTi 00 has a rare gc8 model, as there is a bugeye 00 aswell
lol you so like a lancer with a body kit?
Same as braking on ice with abs and without. It's natural difference. Power +active diffs what you expected.

Still both cars are great in their different style. Subaru spec c is what to compare with Evos. Euro WRX is lighter version of Japanese boxer.
Why argue which is better? How about go for both? I love both these Rally Gods
Subaru is waaaaaaaaay better, its not a car its a culture
Eric Njeru No it’s not. Evo makes more power and has better handling.
“Black” culture?
Yeah the culture for vaping and smoking dick😂
Why you gotta make shitty vaping jokes? I honestly have nothing against any of the cars but the vape jokes are overused
Subarus are represented by hipsters. They both are 10/10
i myself am a mitsi fan and my partner is obssesed with and owns a subaru but I still think evos are better in my opinion,
What's the tune at the beginning??
Throwback Thursday or Mitsubishi Lancer Evo vs Subaru Impreza day?
evo 7
🥂
The best looking with the most unique style of EVO imo.
Unfortunately, it’s kinda sad that neither could truly reach 300,000 troublefree miles, but then again most performance cars of this calibre can’t. Be it from Pontiac, Ford, BMW, or Audi
Evo all day everyday love my wagon
Does anyone know the year of this video?
That model of subie is 2001 to 2003
The impreza has one of the smoothest rides of any car ive ever experienced off road. Feel it in your spine? Get your old ass back to bed
Evo for life 😻
The evo 7 Arte used for sport racing and Rally racing,so yeah its the fastest car in Mitsubishi cars
The body of the car is not about,only the speed and gripness
The evo is a digital ifffy
Impreza rules
Although im a big fan fav of the gc8 original impreza
name of the song at 2:16
Sorry to be such an anorak but I don't think thats a genuine FQ300 it's a RS2 import. (276bhp) The FQ300s doesn't have the fog light in the rear bumper or a back wiper and the radio and heater switches are swapped round and that car doesn't have the carbon dash insert.
F-ing Quick.
"plus the four grand I'd save, I could buy a new engine when the inevitable happens..."
This is almost like Saga vs Nintendo, lol.
Sega*
Nintando*
The only versions of these cars I would buy is the Subaru 22b & the evo 6 tommi makinen edition they're both Legends
you don't have to that well for the Evo TME edtion saw one for £10,000 on ebay
i like imprezas for the boring day to day shit, but the lan evo is the one you have fun in
So evo always beats sti but doesn’t beat this bugeye? 😂😂😂
Kids be fighting all these year be like subie is better or evo is better...smh grow the fawk up
The subaru is better
Thomas Folse better looks but less in handling
4:11 that ended on the grass
Is that a soundtrack from wrc game on playstation 2? Yes it is
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks that five gears is enough. I don't like how reverse works in 6 speeds.
Uuummm all wheel drive not four wheel drive? There is a difference.
Are both of these cars legal in the U.S🤔
Dms Master yep
sebastian thanks
Dms Master not really. evo 8 and sti blobeye above yes. But Evo 7 and sti version of this bugeye (except wrx and rs) still considered to be illegal in states.
Was it sold in the states originally? If not, is it over 25 years old? If not, then illegal, otherwise you're good to go.
no illegal
Those gold rims on that WR Blue Pearl paint...😍
I know this is really trivial but that's an sti not a wrx
+chris scott Actually it's a WRX STI.
it is too a wrx lol
+Andy Martin oh I guess the sti logos and the sti rally pack (gold rims) and the sti spoiler confused me
+chris scott sti is the turbo wrx. there is the base model wrx and then there is the wrx sti with spoiler rims turbo and all the other extra bells and whistles. both wrx
+Andy Martin a lot of people take off the wrx emblem from the back and just leave the sti so i see where u coming from.

Because that's how you say it

Both of them were same but still evo wins becuase its a rally car

I own the Bugeye but I love both
love both of these cars, so hard to say
subie must win
Sti 100% better
They are *Brothers*
I know Tiff is a good journalist but WHY THE HELL DOES HE THINK THE SUBARU IS BETTER
There both great cars.
Love it 😄👍🏻👍🏻🚘🚘🚦
They are not a competition bruh, they are more like brothers
a bug eye looks more aggressive than a 7?
Tiff Needell is at least 10 years younger in this video and the plates on one car is 51 (2001). What is this shit being put out??
