Speedaholics mitsu is going all profits now by just making cheap shit tons of "normal" people want. Lifeless compacts & hovercraft SUV's from now on. Shame.
@@OriginalCovfefe they didn't have any money so they had to let but now since they got little more buckaroo im hearing rumors they might bring it back either hatchback 👎🏽 or 4 door sedan we just have to wait 🤷🏽♂️
Tyler Boyd TF you talking about is isnt damn near the same, it is the fucking same. What the same person ask themselves if they want to copy their homework.
I love my FE evo, it's such a once in a lifetime experience owning this car that I think everyone should consider renting one at least to see what it's all about. I don't remember if you mentioned that this FE evo carries over the shocks from the MR, they are awesome!
I just bought a brand new 2015 Evo MR about a month ago. Best decision ever. I was looking at Final Editions and they are marked up anywhere from $5000-$10000 which is crazy. The used market for GSRs are crazy with a 2014 GSR with 20k miles going for 30k-33k and a new MR going for about 34k-38k. Brings a smile to my face every time and I just hit 1300 miles.
As a final edition owner I have a deep love for this car, my 3rd Evolution! I'm so happy that you delivered an honest review, the handling is the best in the segment and very easy to drive. Thank you!
blackops2isreallybad 2008 MR (first year) very good car I sold it early because I was scared of the gearbox but the SST is actually really durable. Then a GSR great car, better center stack storage being a base model! The. The FE it's the best blend for sure. I miss recaro seats but the FE seats aren't bad seats, just not as sporty as what the car can do. The AWD system is still the most advanced you can get today. If you like handling this is the car. Turn in feel is what a drivers car is about and this can't be beat unless you spend major $$
I've driven a lot of high end cars Ferrari, AMG, BMW, GTR. I even own a AMG. Nothing handles like the Evo X does. My 2008 MR SST still kicking no issue. You just need to change the trans oil more regular than the manual suggest. Every 20k
bought it new in cash, felt it was too much money on a car and i was paranoid about door dings and rock chips and resale value, I took it to the track and enjoyed it. I sold itbefore the end of the year because i didnt want to get hit with depreciation. Cars are not an investment only very few are. Now I own a miata which i can afford to total or whatever, park wherever. I feel much better
Edison Widener that's true, I agree. I'd rather buy a fun affordable car that will not break the bank and save the 40grand or so and invest it towards owning property
Edison Widener I'm a little late on this reply but man you nailed it on the head. I bought a WRX Limited, came out to $36k. I couldn't even enjoy the car always worrying about dings in parking lots and chips etc. Ended up trading it in less than a year later and leased a civic instead. I have my supersport on the side for when I want my speed kicks.
You think Mitsubishi is done? In the car world maybe, in the rest of the world, not even close. Mitsubishi Group had a 2015 Revenue of over $500 Billion that's more than VW Group and Ford Motor Company Combined. Yeah they're pulling back from the auto industry but everyone knows the money is in the Military Industrial Complex, and the U.S Marines are looking to purchase Amphibious vehicles from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. I don't even have a Mitsubishi. Class Dismiss.
Mitsubishi motors is a independent subsidiary though, it has nothing to do with the parent company other than from time to time they have had to inject more cash into them to keep them going. Mitsubishi Motors is I think, doing OK now though, because they are now concentrating on pumping out rubbish cars at cheap prices for people who don't care.
We all know this. Mitsubishi isn't going anywhere. Doesn't change the fact that they're car brand has become absolute trash since the days of the 3000GT and the Eclipse GS/GS-T/GSX. The Lancer and the EVO were the only thing keeping them relevant and special. Now they're just another Crossover manufacturer.
Even the final edition 2015 beats the 2017 STi. More hp per liter with a smaller motor in the EVO, better handling than the Sti also. Amazing product even without many updates.
I'm a Subaru fanboy, I drive a WRX. I was sad to see it go because I loved the competition, forcing Subaru to innovate and improve a bit in the class. Now it seems Ford is stepping into that role to fill Mitsu's vacancy.
I agree with you. You have to experience an EVO to "get it." It's a very different experience from driving a WRX/STI. It's so raw and the X seems to bend the laws of physics in a different way from the VIII/IX. Just hoping my brother can get his oiling problem figured out so he can take advantage of the MAP turbo and O2 dump pipe/straight pipe exhaust he's got fitted to his '08. Then he can actually beat my dad's cammed/bolt-on IX.
ljessecusterl Yep the x just handles ridiculously well. The grip is just crazy. Especially when you throw on some wider stickier tyres the car will pretty much outperform everything
JDMteggy use logic? You used the word "everything", which lead me to believe that you meant it's the best handling car on the planet. Either way, even back then the m3 would smoke it.
LegendInThaMakin no it wouldn't sorry. My evo was consistently coming in too 10 in auto cross and time attack with a field of 200 plus cars. The only cars in top 10 were evos lotuses and Supercars with a few open wheelers. Not even r34 gtrs keep up. M3 haha maybe on a drag race. The e92 is a pig
The saddest departure other than the Evo itself is the vaunted Mitsubishi S-AWC system. That is the "Secret sauce" of the Evo's handling and remains the most advanced on-road performance AWD system ever conceived by man; true helical mechanical slip diffs at the front & center along with the clutch-actuated AYC torque vectoring rear-diff that makes the GKN Twinster on the Focus RS, Torsen of the Impreza STI and even the ATTESA-ETS of the GT-R look mundane in comparison.
Love the Evo. May well have bought one instead of the 2015 WRX that is parked in my garage if they had not discontinued them. Such a shame. For the $$$, it was one of the fastest and best handling cars you could buy.
jordan A Lebron123 This is concrete proof that all the GTR kids are starting to like Evos cause Evos are dead and dead cars are cool so no other car can be as cool.
I'm going to buy one which is a non-finale then. Its been my dream car for so long, and they are affordable to normal ppl like me now, I can't wait to grab one.
My dad works for Mitsubishi in the Automotive Department and he always tells me, "Wait until the re-birth of the 3000GT VR-4! All wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, 3.6 Litre V6 Twin Turbo engine pushing out 560 horse power at 8,500RPM. It'll be 1,580kg with active aero and a decent interior!"
Wish they would just come out with an EVO 11. It would probably save their dying company. EVO X is outdated and only has exterior designs and a nice engine going for it.
Workout Baby yeah this could not be real. because nissan has infinity and not lancer or anything other. i think they cant think of anything new soo that is why we are losing it. im sure that in futur we will get another one, maybe in 20 years like nsx. we will see 😊
I think that the fact they left the old exterior is better, because I would enjoy driving 3-4 years old Lancer 8 or 9 nowadays with changed interior, motor and gadgets only. It's just an amazing design!
@10:39 Matt, you should do a video on what the “Secret Sauce” is after driving so many other cars. Is it suspension mixed with the chassis and how they designed it? I know these Cars are so heavy. Let us know if you can and have time. Even on a Live
I owned a 2006 EVO IX GSR and an 2015 EVO X MR. The X MR kind of disappointed me. The IX did not disappoint at all. I thought the interiors were okay. They were no frills and simple with cheap plastic, but alot of cars use cheap plastic. The IX will always be one of my favorites. I switched up and went to muscle car, similar to you Matt. Mine is the Challenger scat pack shaker.
Matthew Stephan Our Evo interiors especially on the FE without recaros are just sad. Regardless I needed to have an Evo before all the stock ones disappeared. But I love muscle too!
Matthew Stephan I was looking at early Evo X's (08-10) as Evo 8/9s are much more expensive than Xs in Canada. I ended up going with a JDM Evo 4 and buying a daily. The driving experience on the 4-9 is incredible. I never think about the interior whilst my Recaros hold me in through every corner.
FerpiliciousProducts very nice! You won't be disappointed. The recaros in those are awesome! I kept my Evo X MR stock, but I highly modified my EVO IX. All my work was professionally done. I was pretty much maxed out on a stock turbo (27 psi boost). I traded it in before upgrading the turbo. Enjoy your Evo! I've owned about 15 cars over the past 14 years and I still think about my EVO IX all the time.
Machine I agree with you. Getting rid of the recaros was a huge buzz kill. I became okay with it because as I keep getting older, I was fine with the normal seats. Enjoy your Evo. I wish I had gone FE over the MR. If I did, I'd probably still have it. Now I just stare at my Challenger, lol.
Matthew Stephan I've had the car for about two years now. Been fairly reliable and I make 330whp. Definitely at the limits for pump gas though so a younger engine and a new stock frame turbo are future plans. Great cars and the 4G63 is so easy to work with. I used to be a mechanic by trade before going to University and I have done all the mods and tuning myself. A great hobby car.
I believe the knob is on the right because that car is based off of right hand drive car therefore when converting it to left hand they're saving money basically.
The Evo has been around in the USA since 2003 or so, and that was the Evo 8th gen. The Lancer Evo has been around since the early nineties, and has only been in the states since 2003.
U heard it" the GREATEST THING about the car were it's, lol, Racaro SEATS". Not the motor, body, sound, roll, acceleration, no. It was someone else's seats. Awesome car, awesome show !!!!!!!!!!! 🍻
I have an evo x fe and all i can say is you are dead on with what you said about it. Excellent review! I find your reviews very informative and now after watching this I'm adding "very accurate" as well can't wait for you to review the Type R. 😀
i really like the side camera angle you used in this video (from passenger seat). i havent seen many people do that and I think it looks very good for this type of video
3:30 The head unit is for right side driver as for Japan, but installed on American car.. Same goes to many 3rd party head units from China, the knob is on the left side. We in Malaysia driver on right as Japan, gets oddly head unit from China.. 🤩
i am sad to see the evo not get proper updates and now gone. i am a fan of the evo, but not enough to purchase one. i guess people like me are the reason its gone.
We have two mitsus in the house - one is one of my cars, a 2004 Lancer wagon, it has NO SQUEEKS OR RATTLES in the interior. Nada. Zero. Naught. 240 000 kms. The seocond one is a 2005 Colt, 90 000 kms. the lower part of the center dashboard rattles. So Lancer interiors do not rattle or wobble.
I could've bought an Evo X last month, but I ended up getting an FR-S. I test drove and saw 3 Evo's, but damn, the money the people were asking for plus insurance was killing me slowly. Hopefully, once after I play off the FR-S in 2 years, I'll get the Evo I've always wanted. If I only had the money, sigh.
The FE was a huge disappointment overall. Everything is basically the same besides the red stitching, badges, basic seats, wheel finish and blacked out roof. I know it was a limited edition but they couldn't have bothered making it with a more aggressive face-lift, more power, premium surround or leather options, etc... the prices are horrible, lol. I would recommend just getting a 13-14 model with all the options, get more out of your money.
Why would they kill off an iconic car? It makes no sense. Why didn't they update the interior to make it current and leave the shape the same? I don't really understand why they would put an end to something that people love and want.
I agree with you i drove a 2014 MR when i was a porter for chevy in 2018 and back then i didnt know what it was just knew it was fast but i took it to deliver some papers to someone and it was unlike anything in the corners the way its power band was so agressive the paddle shifters to stay in the power range, it felt like it was on rails it just pulls out of corners like it felt special even compared to my 2007 wrx later on
Let's see! Build the same car for 9 years. Make mediocre updates. Then charge $35K!!! Was Mitsubishi having trouble recovering the R&D cost for over a decade? I bet they could have sold this exact car for $25K and made a killing through economy of scale. Customers would of thought, "this car build quality is from the 90s, but for the price it's a bargain." Mitsubishi is on life support, someone pull the plug.
Mais what ze fuck les amis!? "This resulted in a half-year loss of 31.6 billion yen, in line with a downgraded forecast for a loss of 32 billion yen issued last week. Mitsubishi expects to post an operating loss of 27.6 billion yen in the year to March, as it makes provisions to cover quality-related issues and takes a hit from a stronger yen."
wow I'd love driving one then.. I love 240sx clutch feels, but I want front wheel 4wd bias so no matter how rainy it gets on the sad streets of oahu taking an on/off ramp or a 90* intersections soaking wet I'll never be able to let the rear end go the way RWDs easily get it done
the problem is that there is too much competition now...the only thing that was some what equal in performance was the e46 m3 when this car got imported, and an e46 m3 was much more expensive. you can get a used bmw 335i and get a re flash and you got a monster...and is much better looking than this
I've been wanting a Mitsubishi Evo since I saw it on 2 fast 2 furious. I can finally afford one but with the civic type R coming out I don't know witch one I will get.
Gonzalo G Trujillo There are a few guys in my FE group that want a Type R along with already owning the Evo. You would have to drive both to determine your opinion. I can only vouch that driving the Evo is a lot of fun and especially in shitty weather.
Workout Baby up until you get passed by a Camaro SS, Ford Mustang, WRX STI, Evo X, Focus RS, and/or Golf GTI. then that's when you'll tint the windows dark to hide your crying face and slam that civic by cutting the springs and switching to that "low n slow" life
Taylor Sweetova This is great! A beautiful female replies to this video and all the guys go nuts, lol....I apologize for this, not all guys are bad. Like online dating apps, guys behave immature and inappropriate all the time over it. Its embarrassing. I'm 37 and too old to act like I'm 12, lol. Good day!!
Asphalt Xtreme: The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Was First Introduced In Special Projects Event On March 24 2017 The Event Was Suppused to have a duration Of 11 Days However multiple reports said the event ended without further notice at up to 1 and half days before the scheduled end Initially Introduced In Alps Update As a High-End Class A Rally Car The Evolution X Is Now A Class S Vehicle Since The Coachella Update
Unlike Chevrolet, which quietly put down it's SS, Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution went out in a blaze of glory, so did Holden, with it's Australian-made VFII Commodore.
Found a 2015 evo final edition in blue on carvana for 33k with only 59k miles. After selling my 94 corvette lt1 i miss having a fun car and always loved the stlying of all the lancers of this generation but def the evo. The clutch wouldnt bother me since the vette was the same. Looking for commuter cars since my new 4runner sucks on gas lol now i seen i can get a sad Mitsubishi mirage for cheap, styling is nice on the g4 but only 78hp...plus having a final edition would be a great badge to carry. Oh and the usb is in the glovebox if equipped, at least what i read.
The 11th evolution was a Hybrid, and that is on other cars already. No major modification are made to it, and the cost of the car. The lancer is still around.
I just dont get it evo x weight and hyundai genesis 3.8 are almost the same.. But when Roman talks about hyundai genesis 3.8 he always says its so heavy but the genesis has 45hp more.. I just dont get it... Hmmmmm
The weirdest thing just happened, as I am typing you in the search bar I was like "I really would like to see and EVO X Final Edition review", I hit search and it pops up like wtf? What were the chances of that happening XD
subaruwrxfan the turn in and handling of the Evolution is much better than the STi. The STi will understeer as where the Evolution will oversteer quite easily
Kazak Thranduil With the previous generation STi, yes there is significant understeering especially during sharp cornering and the Evo is flat except for a bit of corner body roll. For MY 15+, the cornering is terrific because it's definitely neutral and has nearly no body roll. The steering of the Evo however still retains the tactile sense of the road whereas the STi has a split second vagueness but the STi's grip levels more than makes up for that. I have learned however that there is a technique to make up for this by briefly lessening throttle upon entry. The sensation of lightness in the corners of the Evo however is still more obvious because of the excellent steering. That said, the Evo and the MY15+ STi's are excellent on the corners.
Rendezvous842 the Subaru steering has always been behind Mitsubishi. I have had both STi and Evolution models from 2005 to 2015. Three Evolutions and two STi over the years. Evolution is the drivers car for sure but the Subaru has its own merits. The engine in the Subaru is the largest downside for sure.
RIP to Mitsubishi Lancer Evo 1992-2015.
but the America 2001-2015.

Not as much as they wish people didn't stop buying it :)
They sold the same car from 2008 to 2015. You had 8 years to buy one. I'm sorry as good as it was, it's time to go.
mitsubishi is stupid ending the evo, eclipse, 3k , and now eclipse is a suv...
evolution is now e-Evolution (Electric Hybrid SUV)
jose sanchez nah we could do without the eclipse. But by getting rid of the 3K and Evo, def a revenue suicide....

Zoe Rhoden better be 4-door sedan. The evo was fucking awesome! Subie killers
But what if they brought it back out next year??.....

2015 evo: no

I feel like I'm watching the Logan movie seeing the final Evo.

'I really hope one day the evo will return'. This keeps repeating in my mind. I hope so too.
Love the Evo. May well have bought one instead of the 2015 WRX that is parked in my garage if they had not discontinued them. Such a shame. For the $$$, it was one of the fastest and best handling cars you could buy.

Matthew Stephan Our Evo interiors especially on the FE without recaros are just sad. Regardless I needed to have an Evo before all the stock ones disappeared. But I love muscle too!
Matthew Stephan I was looking at early Evo X's (08-10) as Evo 8/9s are much more expensive than Xs in Canada. I ended up going with a JDM Evo 4 and buying a daily. The driving experience on the 4-9 is incredible. I never think about the interior whilst my Recaros hold me in through every corner.
FerpiliciousProducts very nice! You won't be disappointed. The recaros in those are awesome! I kept my Evo X MR stock, but I highly modified my EVO IX. All my work was professionally done. I was pretty much maxed out on a stock turbo (27 psi boost). I traded it in before upgrading the turbo. Enjoy your Evo! I've owned about 15 cars over the past 14 years and I still think about my EVO IX all the time.
Machine I agree with you. Getting rid of the recaros was a huge buzz kill. I became okay with it because as I keep getting older, I was fine with the normal seats. Enjoy your Evo. I wish I had gone FE over the MR. If I did, I'd probably still have it. Now I just stare at my Challenger, lol.
Matthew Stephan I've had the car for about two years now. Been fairly reliable and I make 330whp. Definitely at the limits for pump gas though so a younger engine and a new stock frame turbo are future plans. Great cars and the 4G63 is so easy to work with. I used to be a mechanic by trade before going to University and I have done all the mods and tuning myself. A great hobby car.
I believe the knob is on the right because that car is based off of right hand drive car therefore when converting it to left hand they're saving money basically.
USB is in the glovebox. It's there keep looking lol
no recaro's on a final edition evo come on mitsubishi should have provided those beautiful seats
How I’ve missed this car so much. I’ll probably never own a new one ever. My dream car ;-;
Those seats remind me of my mom's corolla.
One of the guys from Everyday Driver said about the Evo during his review when describing the grip, "It's like the tires are kneading the road!" :D
The Evo has been around in the USA since 2003 or so, and that was the Evo 8th gen. The Lancer Evo has been around since the early nineties, and has only been in the states since 2003.
One of the GOATS
U heard it" the GREATEST THING about the car were it's, lol, Racaro SEATS". Not the motor, body, sound, roll, acceleration, no. It was someone else's seats. Awesome car, awesome show !!!!!!!!!!! 🍻
I have an evo x fe and all i can say is you are dead on with what you said about it. Excellent review! I find your reviews very informative and now after watching this I'm adding "very accurate" as well can't wait for you to review the Type R. 😀
Damn ive been trying to get a Forza Edition Evo since horizon 3☹😂😂😂
Even tho I'm a Subaru WRX STI fan... I still shed a tear when I heard Mitsubishi was going to stop making them
i really like the side camera angle you used in this video (from passenger seat). i havent seen many people do that and I think it looks very good for this type of video
3:30 The head unit is for right side driver as for Japan, but installed on American car..
Same goes to many 3rd party head units from China, the knob is on the left side.
We in Malaysia driver on right as Japan, gets oddly head unit from China..
🤩
i am sad to see the evo not get proper updates and now gone. i am a fan of the evo, but not enough to purchase one. i guess people like me are the reason its gone.
maxxjett films yep so many broke fan boys
no bbs, no recaro, feelsbadman
Chris ikr...so GAAAY
Chris Not BBS but Enkei
I thought the final edition was supposed to come with forged BBS
Chris everywhere but usa. we didn't get bbs/recaros.
Yeah I'm in alberta. But dealers are asking for 50k for these. Base STI is only 38.
We have two mitsus in the house - one is one of my cars, a 2004 Lancer wagon, it has NO SQUEEKS OR RATTLES in the interior. Nada. Zero. Naught. 240 000 kms. The seocond one is a 2005 Colt, 90 000 kms. the lower part of the center dashboard rattles. So Lancer interiors do not rattle or wobble.
I could've bought an Evo X last month, but I ended up getting an FR-S. I test drove and saw 3 Evo's, but damn, the money the people were asking for plus insurance was killing me slowly. Hopefully, once after I play off the FR-S in 2 years, I'll get the Evo I've always wanted. If I only had the money, sigh.
flintlights the reason why I didn't get the evo is because of insurance premiums I would be paying! it would be as much as another car payment lol
Love my FE, bought it earlier this week and I make excuses to go out and drive it.
This Chanel is growing pretty fast
RIP Evo. Missed but never forgotten.
Mark my words. This car will make a comeback.
6 years and nothing
The FE was a huge disappointment overall. Everything is basically the same besides the red stitching, badges, basic seats, wheel finish and blacked out roof. I know it was a limited edition but they couldn't have bothered making it with a more aggressive face-lift, more power, premium surround or leather options, etc... the prices are horrible, lol.
I would recommend just getting a 13-14 model with all the options, get more out of your money.
Design never gets old to me:)
STI style designer: That Evo X front end looks amazing. I hope no one notice if I turn the grill upside down and call it a new model STI.
Quite possibly the most beautiful sight of the recent times...the EVO X that is.
400k? really? you guys deserve more than 15 mil
Well done Will Young, this along with the ever green song you did are two of my favourites!
I had to check if the speed was normal and not sped up because of how fast he talks at the beginning
I would still want an Evo 9 over this. But stuck on whether I would want an MR or not. Probably not MR because I want Manual! 🤩🤩🤩
Why would they kill off an iconic car? It makes no sense. Why didn't they update the interior to make it current and leave the shape the same? I don't really understand why they would put an end to something that people love and want.
I agree with you i drove a 2014 MR when i was a porter for chevy in 2018 and back then i didnt know what it was just knew it was fast but i took it to deliver some papers to someone and it was unlike anything in the corners the way its power band was so agressive the paddle shifters to stay in the power range, it felt like it was on rails it just pulls out of corners like it felt special even compared to my 2007 wrx later on
Let's see! Build the same car for 9 years. Make mediocre updates. Then charge $35K!!! Was Mitsubishi having trouble recovering the R&D cost for over a decade? I bet they could have sold this exact car for $25K and made a killing through economy of scale. Customers would of thought, "this car build quality is from the 90s, but for the price it's a bargain." Mitsubishi is on life support, someone pull the plug.
It's not on life support at all. Making billions of profit every year
Mais what ze fuck les amis!? "This resulted in a half-year loss of 31.6 billion yen, in line with a downgraded forecast for a loss of 32 billion yen issued last week.
Mitsubishi expects to post an operating loss of 27.6 billion yen in the year to March, as it makes provisions to cover quality-related issues and takes a hit from a stronger yen."
Still one of my favorite cars. Sad to see it go. I almost bought one, but ended up with a new wrx.
What should I look out for when I’m buying an used evo x/mr/gsr ?
Lucky u bro..for owning an Evos,especially Evo X..u re the happiest man on earth😑
I think the USB that is missing is in the glovebox. There should be a little flip tab for it.
this will be the car i miss the most. such a shame nissan isnt planning on bringing back mitsubishi motorsports/ralliart
The USB jack is in the dumbed place. inside the glove compartment, on top, yup, on top.
wow I'd love driving one then.. I love 240sx clutch feels, but I want front wheel 4wd bias so no matter how rainy it gets on the sad streets of oahu taking an on/off ramp or a 90* intersections soaking wet I'll never be able to let the rear end go the way RWDs easily get it done
the problem is that there is too much competition now...the only thing that was some what equal in performance was the e46 m3 when this car got imported, and an e46 m3 was much more expensive. you can get a used bmw 335i and get a re flash and you got a monster...and is much better looking than this
Bad ass intro brotha! 👍🏼👀
I've been wanting a Mitsubishi Evo since I saw it on 2 fast 2 furious. I can finally afford one but with the civic type R coming out I don't know witch one I will get.
Gonzalo G Trujillo There are a few guys in my FE group that want a Type R along with already owning the Evo. You would have to drive both to determine your opinion. I can only vouch that driving the Evo is a lot of fun and especially in shitty weather.
Gonzalo G Trujillo Type R, you know why? Because it's freaking Legendary Type R.
Gonzalo G Trujillo the Evo cause it doesn't look like a space ship for little boys and it'll still outperform the type R lol
CroutonsRawk if you drive a type r, you'll always have a smile on your ugly face.
Workout Baby up until you get passed by a Camaro SS, Ford Mustang, WRX STI, Evo X, Focus RS, and/or Golf GTI. then that's when you'll tint the windows dark to hide your crying face and slam that civic by cutting the springs and switching to that "low n slow" life
Evo x love! 💖
🔪
no 😉
Dinos AMERICA
from KZ!
Taylor Sweetova This is great! A beautiful female replies to this video and all the guys go nuts, lol....I apologize for this, not all guys are bad. Like online dating apps, guys behave immature and inappropriate all the time over it. Its embarrassing. I'm 37 and too old to act like I'm 12, lol. Good day!!
Asphalt Xtreme:
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Was First Introduced In Special Projects Event On March 24 2017 The Event Was Suppused to have a duration Of 11 Days However multiple reports said the event ended without further notice at up to 1 and half days before the scheduled end
Initially Introduced In Alps Update As a High-End Class A Rally Car The Evolution X Is Now A Class S Vehicle Since The Coachella Update
Thanks for reviewing the Evo X and the the 2002 Camaro!
Here I am in the future riding around in my Evo 11.......What? You thought they wouldn't bring it back?
Unlike Chevrolet, which quietly put down it's SS, Mitsubishi's Lancer Evolution went out in a blaze of glory, so did Holden, with it's Australian-made VFII Commodore.
what do you think, is a low mileage final edition worth the extra 15,000$ over a used 80,000 mile GSR?
manual only, of course.
Found a 2015 evo final edition in blue on carvana for 33k with only 59k miles. After selling my 94 corvette lt1 i miss having a fun car and always loved the stlying of all the lancers of this generation but def the evo. The clutch wouldnt bother me since the vette was the same. Looking for commuter cars since my new 4runner sucks on gas lol now i seen i can get a sad Mitsubishi mirage for cheap, styling is nice on the g4 but only 78hp...plus having a final edition would be a great badge to carry. Oh and the usb is in the glovebox if equipped, at least what i read.
The USB is in the glove box towards the top!
Yup, pretty much the same feels for you as for me. Really too bad that Mitsubishi has nothing to offer anymore.
The 11th evolution was a Hybrid, and that is on other cars already. No major modification are made to it, and the cost of the car. The lancer is still around.
I wish Mitsu had atleast continued the Ralliart by offering the GSR's manual transmission instead of cancelling it along with the Evo.
FYI mitsubishi was pretty much forced by NISSAN to end what made mitsubishi....mitsubishi
I just dont get it evo x weight and hyundai genesis 3.8 are almost the same.. But when Roman talks about hyundai genesis 3.8 he always says its so heavy but the genesis has 45hp more.. I just dont get it... Hmmmmm
2015 STI vs 2015 Evo X FE // Your opinion ?
I'd take the 2015 STI all day long. So much nicer inside.
The weirdest thing just happened, as I am typing you in the search bar I was like "I really would like to see and EVO X Final Edition review", I hit search and it pops up like wtf? What were the chances of that happening XD
subaruwrxfan the turn in and handling of the Evolution is much better than the STi. The STi will understeer as where the Evolution will oversteer quite easily
Kazak Thranduil With the previous generation STi, yes there is significant understeering especially during sharp cornering and the Evo is flat except for a bit of corner body roll. For MY 15+, the cornering is terrific because it's definitely neutral and has nearly no body roll. The steering of the Evo however still retains the tactile sense of the road whereas the STi has a split second vagueness but the STi's grip levels more than makes up for that. I have learned however that there is a technique to make up for this by briefly lessening throttle upon entry. The sensation of lightness in the corners of the Evo however is still more obvious because of the excellent steering. That said, the Evo and the MY15+ STi's are excellent on the corners.
Rendezvous842 the Subaru steering has always been behind Mitsubishi. I have had both STi and Evolution models from 2005 to 2015. Three Evolutions and two STi over the years. Evolution is the drivers car for sure but the Subaru has its own merits. The engine in the Subaru is the largest downside for sure.
What happened to subaruwrxfan?
The EVO has been around since 2003-2004 here in the U.S.
