As a dad back in 2014 I bought a Evo x MR and it was the best family car I ever bought. I still own it to this day and my kids being older love the car.
My 2014 Evo X MR SSS came with leather heated seats, sun roof, seven speakers sound system with an AMP from fosgate, leather accents on the doors with carbon fiber look alike plastics, some chrome parts on the handbrake and a touch screen. I love my Evo X :)
all you need to make that interior look better is a double din. sygav makes a decent one. totally transforms it and it takes about 15 mins to install and that's with me being overly cautious making sure I don't break any tabs. As an owner myself that also previously owned evo 8 and 9 mr se, the X is definitely the most comfortable for daily driver, even when you hit north of 500 hp. Only gripes I have is the trunk space and location of the ayc pump. Overall, it's a solid daily for dads.
Ive been thinking about getting one of these for a daily/ baby hauler lol. Just wasnt sure on how reliable it would be and stroller space? I need a sport car back in my life but need all the basics like a/c- heater + reliability. This car would meet me in the middle
I'm about to be dad soon so my brz has to go. Im stuck between evo x, Sti, and Golf r. Ultimately, I'll circle back to getting an fl5, but awd is what I want for now. I'm leaning towards evo for the performance.
hear me out, ive driven plenty of STI's, reviewed this evo X, and owned a mk6 golf R. If i had to pick from those 3 cars again, im taking the golf R every day. car felt way faster than an STI or evo X, and had the best interior / luxury features. I miss my golf R a lot.
I think the 10 is going to be your most practical and reliable option if you’re looking for that, but the 8&9 would be definitely more performance oriented. Also depends what you can find in your area! Sometimes there’s not a great selection due to the rarity
That is really good for a stock turbo. I have one with exhaust and tune running 290 WHP on a mustang dyno. I like to stay close to stock for reliability and wondered what he has done. Would like a little more power, but not go to E85
@@kaoriisdriving thanks man! I have the intake and an exhaust, which I’d like to put the oem air filter box back on for cold air. Factory down pipe though. I didn’t realize it’s that easy to get that HP. I really like staying as stock as possible for reliability.
@@lanceburkholder9968 yeah totally get that. Not sure if you saw but I did mention the owner made around 415 at once but dialed it back to keep it more reliable. Having a good tuner is the key to good power
@@kaoriisdriving I saw that! That’s what really surprised me. I owned a 2010 with an exhaust and had it dyno tuned on a mustang dyno at a little over 320hp. Had a 2011 before that I just bought back that had same exhaust, but a k&n intake and pipe from turbo to intercooler, tuned several years before on a different mustang dyno made a little over 290. I ran them side by side and the 2011 would just have the edge by a very slight margin. I was surprised that the numbers were off by that far. They both run great and the tuners did a decent job, but I find it difficult to find good tuners that really know what they’re doing. I feel like most cars are tuned by a cookie cutter pattern, like people go to school and are told how to do it, but lack the what I would call natural intuition I guess or like I’m a mechanic, grew up around it, fascinating me and it comes very naturally for me so I use schooling and information to better myself, but at the core I look at it and it makes sense. I find tuning is kinda the same way. Most people just go to school and are taught rather than have natural understanding that school just will build on and when they tune the car they know what’s happening and are able to really set it up well. Unfortunately most people that good are actually tuning real rally cars or race cars. Sorry for the long blabbering and maybe I’m all wrong about it.
As a dude who used to work at a Mitsubishi dealership, I'd say go for it. I almost talked my wife into one. They're cool, just don't expect Evo performance. For what it is, it's fairly sporty and fun enough to drive, just not what I'd call fast. They do have almost the same AWD system, just fwd biased as opposed to rwd biased. I like to say it's a backward Evo AWD. Great AWD and good all around car,, for sure.

My X is in the shop right now should be coming out with 800+ whp on a heartbreaker dyno
Sick man! Hope it goes well

Definitely enough trunk space in the back for a stroller. Reliability though, try to keep it stock and you should be all good
I got my Evo X 4 months before my baby girl was born. It been 3+ years and going great so far. Mine is stock and my daughter loves it :)
Blessed to pick up an evo x today. Really surprised how quick it is, feels quicker than my c6 z06 and that has 600hp
2011 291hp stock the 2016 final edition made 303

Stock turbo on 93, probably making around 340-350hp / 340tq if the tune is conservative
Yeah on e85 it makes around 400
Replacing the radio was not hard at all I got everything from clutchfield and it was simple to do. I suggest you get it pre harnessed
Good to know ! Might not be hard but probably not cheap either
Nice vid. I own a 2015 E63 AMG S Mercedes, would love to see you do a segment on one of these.
Ill try to find one to shoot! Thank you!
Love the video
The specs you said is only for the final edition evo x 2015 model year the 08-14 year evo x came with 291 hp with 300tq
Thanks for catching that!
Nice review, i subcribe❤
Thank you!
Deciding if I should get a 8 or 9 or the 10
I think the 10 is going to be your most practical and reliable option if you’re looking for that, but the 8&9 would be definitely more performance oriented. Also depends what you can find in your area! Sometimes there’s not a great selection due to the rarity
Get all 3
10 forsure
Have a 2014 750whp evo x gsr you can review if your in Canada Ontario lol
If I’m ever there I’ll hit you up 😎
Where abouts in Ontario!
Would you share what exactly he has done to get that HP with oem turbo?
That is really good for a stock turbo. I have one with exhaust and tune running 290 WHP on a mustang dyno. I like to stay close to stock for reliability and wondered what he has done. Would like a little more power, but not go to E85
And I quote from the owner:
“K&N upper intercooler pipe
K&N intake
Tomei exhaust
AMS downpipe
Injector dynamics 1050x injectors
AEM fuel pump
Tuned on 93”

Too bad guys in USA don't get ej207 STI like in Canada we can.
Impeza sti can be good car if you don't have ej257.
what about 2011 mitsubishi outlander sport es can that be a dads car :D
