As a Mitsubishi owner, I can confirm we want the Evo back! Please make Evos great again
More like "please make Mitsubishi great again" all their cars are trash mean while toyota, Nissan, mazda hell even Subaru are taking the W in not only daily A-B cars but in sports cars. It's time Mitsubishi comes back to the greatness it used to be
we dont want electric!!!!!!
@@pizzamad3334 we all want that but electric powered cars will be inevitable cause of gas prices... but DON'T MAKE THE EVO A SUV PLSSS!!!
@@yuanestrada8388 they're not inevitable...
@@esu2537I must disagree. Subaru isn’t taking a W. they killed their only truly compelling car and gave their “fastest” WRX a CVT. No company, other than Mitsubishi, has lost their way as much Subaru has. There is a reason companies maintain their halo car or make sure to introduce a new halo car. WRX isn’t a Halo car. Few companies have shit the bed like Subaru.
I had 08 Evo X MR, that DCT was so underrated but couldn't handle much torque, i miss her very much 😢😢😢
Baby GTR 😅😅
Did everything with that car, road course, drag strip and tail of dragon, etc, took all the beating and still took me home everytime
Sounds like awesome times
It can handle a lot of TQ now.
The car was definitely ahead of its time.
So tired of the complaints about the 4B11T engine. It's a brilliant and proven engine. It's a rare gem that I'll have soon enough.
People that are just obsessed with the 4G just hate it, just how it is.
Literally, if Devin can make a fully stock 4B11 700whp on a big turbo & beat the shit out of it with it holding, just shows how strong 4B11s are

@@jotveerkhangura4109an engine can be so strong on stock internals but without the aftermarket support it can’t high power.
The 4B is nasty, people at the time just couldnt get over not having a refreshed 4G i think.
I love my fq440 Mr #24/40
I've owned my evo x for 11 years now and I don't plan on ever selling it😭 i love it
Glad I’m not alone. Kept mine and been going 14 years now! It’s not just fun to drive, it’s a different level of experience.
@@joemdgrstz me three. Have mine 10 years and I am never selling her
Im on my 4th year with my 2015 FE so far i don’t think id ever sell it tbh lol.
@@Evoxdoniiis it worth getting an evo todays day and age.? Contemplating on getting a evo 7
Im currently looking at this 2015 evo x gsr with 50k miles, super super clean. Is 34k too much for it?
Back when I got my Evo , I had the 10 and the 9 (both gsr’s) in front of me and I chose the 10. every thing about it felt better to me looks, sound, and feel.
Now my X is a big turbo build and I love it so much.
Regardless of what number all of the Evo’s live up to the hype, I’d own each generation if I could. 😂
Mitsubishi listened to all the critics over the years and then made the evo x into exactly what they wanted . Yet when they did the critics complained the most . I own both an evo x and the worlds favorite evo the evo v and I really love my evo x it is such a all round great car that the evo v isn’t
I daily an EVO X 100 miles a day and I drive spirited
Did all routine maintence and car has 140k miles hasn’t skipped a beat
Rip your wallet the gas mileage 😂. I have an EVO X so I know lol
@@practicaldriverit’s not bad but I do have unlimited funds lol
@@LP-bt4jk how does one get unlimited funds lol
Mine has almost 340,000 km. I'll wager it's the highest mileage X on earth. PS very few issues since I bought it with 88,000km in 2012.
@@felixjones9198 how often did you do valve adjustments?
That drivers side window deflector is holding on for dear life.
One of the cars I wish I didn't let go 😢 (2014 Evo X GSR)
I’ve owned a 500whp GSR for almost 5 years now. Great car. What makes it more unique to me is you don’t see them anymore. At least in the east coast of the US they’re rare. I believe it’s also one of the last true driver focused car that doesn’t have fancy tech and features that steers the attention away from the car itself.
Fun fact: only about 23,000 Evo X’s were sold in the US throughout its 8 year production. Compare that to its rivals, competitors, and other common performance cars, that’s a fraction of the quantity so that’s really not a lot.
The Evo X didn't get the love it deserved, yet alone the Ralliart dct. Mitsubishi should definitely give us another Evo or Eclipse GSX .
I have daily driven EVOs since 2005. I had/sold an 8GSR 9MR 9RS and now an X GSR since 2011. Great cars. 🎉
As an evo x owner, I agree but not the automatic part.
Of course a manual would be better, but dual clutch is proving to be essential in reaching the mass audience required to make money with a performance car. GR Corolla, Civic Type-R and Integra Type-S are rare exceptions.
The DCT is amazing!
One of the best cars I have driven. Rides normal but step on it the evolution comes. Surprisingly cars always signal away when they see me coming from behind! Being the evo back mit!
Evo 5 and 9 are my all time favorites. I'd be interested in giving a X DCT a spin though.
Devin Niemela did an experiment with a 4B11 put a Big Turbo & sent a fully stock longblock to the moon making 700whp and it’s been taking every launch & pull like a champ. Too many people underrate the 4B11s tuning potential.

It’s the torque that breaks things. Have to keep it under 500 torque
Back in 2015 I was planning to buy a 43k miled and lightly modified 5spd MT Evo X. I took it for a test drive and when I braked hard, the suspension would "ping" on rebound. Whatever, I'd fix that. My fat ass did not exactly fit in to the Recaro seats, at the time, but I didn't care. Well...the car was sold right before I had the loan approved. I had to settle for my 2011 STI sedan w/ 28k miles, bone stock for more money than the EVO. As a result of me having the Subie, 4 friends ended up buying them. 3 VA WRX's and 1 GR8. All except the one with the 2021 VA had their motors replaced. They're all awesome modified cars. Now, don't get me wrong, I love my Subie! It's been my fun daily and is finally getting to the goal I've always had in mind but I always wonder how much different life would be for me and my friends, if I was able to buy the EVO X... Would they have EVOs? Or would they still have WRXs as that's the closest thing now that Mitsubishi no longer makes EVOs.
Honestly, as a Subie owner and fan I hate that Mitsubishi no longer makes the EVO. Because Subaru no longer has a reason to make an STI. Which is why the VB is only a WRX. We need the rivalry and competition between the EVO and STI. That benefits the enthusiasts.
totally agree, we need that rivalry back so these makers can drop enthusiasts cars
We definitely need more Japanese sport cars out here alongside Nissan and Toyota atm.
Underrated car today honestly.
I bought my evo x in 2017 and have loved it since! Currently being fully built to be a different beast I can’t wait to drive it again!
Only 2 years owning my exo x mr 15' so glad i got it in never letting her go
Tuned on Cobb lol... Owner should have it tuned via ecu flash and get a proper tune from reputable sst tuners... I used to have a RA at 300 whp and the sst is finicky and needs maintenance but it performs well when it's working... Now I have a 24 GRC
Evo XI?? An Evo 11 would be sick. A man can dream.
There is some love for the 10's because they are part of the family, but we all know 8's and 9's are king 👑
I love all Evo's - for me personally, the Evo 6 TME I owned was incredible. The Evo 4-6 were the last of the true 'analog' Evo's with WRC heritage and bloodline.
well, there is a 1100bhp Evo 10 RS hillclimb car in Poland. very rapid car/driver combo. so yeah, that 4b11 can boogie
Devin Niemela also put a Big Ass turbo on a fully stock longblock 4B11 and beat the shit out of it making 700whp and its been holding lol
Link to that video: th-cam.com/video/EydUBykFku8/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
All evo’s are iconic because the 10 was the end! For me evo 3.4,5,6 were the best. Just brilliant
What kind of AWD system do they have?
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 super select
@@AneyStokes771 and how does it work?
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 figure it out yourself 😂
I believe the dislike was mob mentality because people didn’t like the K series over the Bbseries because just because. As long as there is some meat in someone’s opinion it really doesn’t hold weight.
Remember some older EVO’s had active yaw control as well it’s just the 10 has a refinement of it . I also think they are just different like r32 to r34
th-cam.com/video/ct2wP8OTM2U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kcAzoECfzxQccLQi
100% mob mentality. I had people that never even drove a vii ix or a x say that the x wasn't a real evo. It's always going to be the case of old good, new bad. Once everything becomes a electric crossover, everyone is gonna be wishing we still had cars like this.
I had mine just at 500hp and a built trans from kozmic. I regret selling that car everyday but, had to do it when i went back to grad school. That thing was such a little rocket ship
S-sport mode would have been a better thing to show when comparing to other transmissions. You weren't really in sport mode until you go into s-sport but anyways.
I’d buy one unless they screwed it up with giant trims like the WRX or vertical display which looks so awful on the WRX.
As a previous owner of a wicked white 14 Evo X GSR for 6 years, and 1 year into Evo 8 ownership. I agree, bring these cars back. Evo's are absolutely addicting!
I was going to buy a subi sti few years back but my brother was selling his evo x at the time. So I bought it off him knowing it was running on amsoil most its life. The 3rd and 4th gear in the gsr's are long, I raced an sti one day and just stayed in 4th from 70 km all the way to 140km the subi had to shift atleast 3 times. Dusted him
cobb tuned…. so the transmission hasnt been tuned yet to pair with the “tuned engine” power and tq thus the reason it clunks while shifting. get a proper tune and search about sst tcu ; you wont notice the clunks afterwards.
Just rediscovered a detailing channel with a bunch of 2000s and 2010s Japanese and German cars and then I see this video...
whats the detailing channel?
@@sleepymew6198 Garage 54 Detail or their English channel Detail Garage 54. It's amazing how they restore these gems, or even just regular cars from back then which are also special because they don't make them like they used to.
@@sleepymew6198 contempo concept iirc
Would love to see mitsubishi produce the Evo again and other sports cars. Atleast i own my 3000gt and Evo10 gsr.
You need a manual evo x
I have a 2010 GSR making close to 600whp
If i was closer to canada id let you whip it lol
In china they have Mitsubishi 1.5 turbo 4A95TD under the hood of a SUV pair to 7speeds DCT
Do like my GSR EVO X, I'd fuck with the paddles if i had one, but you can only have so much fun in an automatic.
Not cheap but is definetly fast. Price defers to where people live cause where I live these go for easily 40k up and thats not cheap
the best bargain will be the mazdaspeeds and ford falcons
I’ll never sell mine unless I can get a GTR.. only car I want as a replacement but too expensive as a used vehicle…
My guy, here some advice sir. You might wanna to get that EVO X off Cobb. Better with a PROTUNE.. Cobb may be hurting that Trans.
He said it was dyno tuned by cobb, not an ots tune. That dyno tune likely rivals any etuner.
I love all Evos but i'd probably get a X simply because it seems like the easiest gen to get one that's not clapped out...
Personally i actually love the look of the X
Try an 800whp Evo x gsr then come back and talk yes 8-9 is awesome but the 10s can hold there own up there
I've got one lined up, I'll report back soon haha. Straight line speed and power isn't everything though!
It would be electric suv called the evolution 11😂
I will always have a soft spot the Evo 10.
Edit: Golf 5 gti also had DSG at around 2005 and was very popular in the EU
Maaaan, I was just thinking that yesterday, they need to bring the evo 9 type evo
The manual Evo are amazing. They can take abuse. Some make 800 on stock trans. The dct is good and bad. They can't take power. Once they fixed up I heard their good but they are expensive to upgrade. My gsr been taking abuse since 40k miles
Now 100k. Making 570 whp
It’s not power that hurts the standard its torque. But once they have the clutches upgraded they are fine.
Is 09 a good year to buy guys? Noob here
Am I the only one realizing that this is the unarmed kuruma from GTA online
10:35 why Sport mode when you could have used Super Sport mode?
Save the manuals!
For people that say the 4b11 has no tuning potential. This car is a complete stock motor car with bolt ons
th-cam.com/video/j4NA3hPvFhM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=WZ9jw84ixNIwkhyr
I would park it next to my x. I would order it on day 1.
Lackluster review, no mention of the amazing awd system,the power distribution compared to the joke awd you had previously in the older evos. The comfort and roomy interior compared to older evos. The superior engine efficiency to the 4g, weight distribution, 4b aluminium block has much better heat dissipation, iron block of the 4g has no benefits today, buy the time you run into block strength issues you need to build the motor for both,and a pair of $600 sleeves will make over 1000hp on the 4b while keeping the heat management benefits. Superior 5 speed transmission. So many missed strong points
exactly what I though!!
I don't even own any mitsubishi's and I want it back. Hell even the Focus RS needs to come back and the SRT4, COBALT SS/SATURN ION, uuuhhhh MAKE CARS GREAT AGAIN😭
The GR Corolla kind of replaced the Focus RS in my mind.. Both amazing cars.
People didnt like the fact It wasn't 4g63T. 4B11T was okay. Just wasn't a 4g63T
No dual clutch lol. That would be such a fail.
You need to drive a evo x pushing north of 600 and a GSR...
We've got a couple lined up... coming soon.
I dunno. We all would love another one sure. We all would love cars that are like the 90s JDM cars we love. The evo died as a king. If they did make another one do you really think they would make it how we want? Look at what wrx has become. I don't want a evo if it's gonna be like that. Wrx isn't even a wrx anymore. Everything is so big and heavy.
Mitsubishi scrapped their performance division over a decade ago, the Evo 10 was the lovechild of the engineering team. Everything they put out now is catered to SUV drivers and low income vehicles. They will never reintroduce the evo, as sad as it is to say...
This will likely also be the last generation of WRX we will see, and the Golf R and GTI are going the way of the dodo as well.
The GR Corolla will likely be the last man standing in the era of AWD sporty hot hatches/sedans.
I enjoyed the ralliart while the DCT was working. Once it started to show transmission related error messages, the love transformed into fear.
These transmissions are notoriously unreliable. Doesn't matter how much you baby them, they will eventually fail one way or another.
To fix these the "right way" it can cost you up to $10K with labor and shipping.
More than what the car is worth.
Never again will own another DCT equipped vehicle. Total waste of money and time.
Not happening, no market, no more STi, and the wrx is probably gonna die soon.
Instead they're gonna focus on their new fighter jet because its been about 80 years since they've made one.
Yes, i know in japan they have the STi, but that's the STi S4 and its only appearance, suspension, and a little bit more power. No STi transmission, no manual because its a CVT, not a real STi.
I don't think the EVO should be brought back. Why do I think this?
1. I will be very expensive. Most likely will cost $60k+ without dealer markups. But you know it will be marked up, putting it closer to $75k+. Nobody who is a true EVO fan, would want to spend that.
2. Due to its high price tag, Mitsubishi will limit the amount of them they make, making the car "rarer". And we all know when the word "rare" pops up, the average middle-class man will jump on it, garage it, and use it for purposes the car wasn't intended for...an investment opportunity.
3. It needs to be very good to compete with other AWD sporty vehicles, like the Golf R. The MK8 Golf R's performance is crazy good, and that's without it being tuned. If the EVO stays 4-cylinder turbo driven, that's the car it will need to compete with, and that will be tough. Toyota tried it with the GRC, but the GRC is literally more expensive and also worse in every single category compared to the MK8 Golf R. Epic fail. If the EVO goes inline-6 turbo, then it needs to compete with the Supra, M340i, M3/4, RS3, etc., and all of those cars are excellent, but expensive.
4. Buying an expensive Mitsubishi in today's world just doesn't make sense. People want sport cars that not only handle and are fast, but also reliable. Mitsubishi has never been a reliable car company.
I second that
Maintenance cost so high…
Not really. I own a GSR. Your typical fluid changes are cheap. I’ve owned mine for over 4 years now and put more than 60k miles on it and it has been reliable. Like any other car, if something breaks, of course it’s going to be expensive.
@@its.Andy1agreed… as long as one does their regular fluid changes.
Drive the gsr 5speed more fair
Mitsubishi is disolving to Nissan at the end of this year, so I doubt you will get another lancer/evo period.
But, sst is a real trash, have been owned 2 evo x, 1 gsr 1 Mr, sold the Mr really quick. The sst is not exciting when fully throttle, it’s really unreliable, and make the car heavier in front.
The GR Corolla is a counterfeit knock off EVO X 😂
Yes compromised in every way.
I doubt that all the people who were responsible for the Lancer Evo are even still with Mitsubishi today. There are still cars with the Mitsubishi badge on them, but the company is not the same as it was 10-20 years ago. Even if they brought this car "back", it would probably just be a stupid crossover with the name Evolution on it and zero enthusiast appeal.
Well there will probably be plenty of ppl that never drove one saying it's not a real Evo... For those ones if you have not driven one "we don't need your opinion"😉 for those that will say 8 and 9 are better or last ...the 7th was the last one rallying under the Mitsubishi Ralliart team and after that Mitsubishi had WRC04 and WRC05 cars so even an 8 and 9( although built on 7th chase) are not a proper EVOs😅 X was built by the same team and most ppl that worked on the previous evolution and as Markus sad the looks maybe are not there but underneath it is the next Evolution. If somebody is more into the EVOs and its history the X was going to be a Galant. Normal NA Lancers are called Galant Fortis in Japan and Asian markets, there is no Lancer. X was going to be a Galant Evolution as a different chase and engine was used but as marketing and sales had the last call it kept the Lancer name. Even the "X" was added after as a bage only in the UK market to jump up the sales.
no, not the mivec evo
Didnt dodge bought mitsubishi?
Ummmm sorry to tell you this mate but evo x's have mechanical power steering lol
No you don’t want the evo that’s coming. If the eclipse didn’t scare you this EV will
❤
Probably would be electric or some shit
Mitsubishi doesn’t even engineer its own cars, how is it going to bring back a performance car that doesn’t even have a platform to build from.
It will have to be a rebadged Sentra with a Renault tuned nissan engine, Renault transmissions, and Mitsubishi awd. And that’s only if they have the finances to make a vehicle. (Yet alone if they want to make it)
Lovely!🎉🎉
No they never do
They are facing financial crisis
Mitsubishi has failed hard, from its roots to now going to crossovers and electrics....what a let down
If they bring it back, they will pervert it. It would be electric or an SUV, or worse, an electric SUV.
If its an auto dont even bother
