Even if they just make a limited production of 8000 new Evo XI they'd sell like hotcakes, and keep them somewhat still on the side of driver to car feel.fuck the EV 😂😂 they're driving time bombs.literally 🔥🔥 I love my 2014 Evo x MR Fq-440
Super Sport + paddles is the absolute best way to enjoy this car with an SST. Driving it normally will ruin the twin clutches overtime. Upgrade the stock exhaust manifold and turbo housing if you haven't already and try not to go crazy with launch control. This car will be good to you if you are good to it.
Yeah, Mitsubishi has really gone soft. According to them these type of cars "dont fit into this time and age". Meanwhile you got Honda building the fastest FWD hot hatch, Toyota releasing a rally car for 33k€ and Hyundai having their 80-90s JDM moment.
@@xXYannuschXxWeil es kein anderes japanisches Auto mit AWD gibt. Yaris GR ist eigentlich nichts besonderes. Hat tatsächlich einen sehr guten Motor und ist sehr leicht, aber kommt niemals an Evo X AWD Fahrverhalten ran!
The stock one has a lot of issues with shift fork magnets, clutch dampers, etc. Lot of brittle stuff that breaks down compared to other DCTs. Had to have mine fully overhauled and rebuilt at only 27k, among many other owners. It was amazing after the overhaul but OEM i wouldnt be too confident in them.
@Shad if well maintained they shouldn't have many problems with stock or bolt on power. In the early years little was known about proper maintenance of them including mitsubishi services intervals for it being way to long. In reality they need to be serviced every 30000km or 18600 miles and even earlier if tracking or driving hard. The only thing that can't be prevented and is more luck is the magnets failing which can cause only odd gears. Had mine for 100k km no problems. I built mine to handle more power and I agree they really do come alive after being built.
Yep. Most people ruin them. Don't let the transmission get up to temp and just send it. When maintained and driven right it's amazing. Especially upgraded with 10 plate
@justj sse Exactly right. Another mod that can help with the warming up is a heated sump which gets it up to temp much quicker and can do so while idleing not just driving.
I love Evo’s. I have a X myself and it’s amazing lol having driven A LOT of performance cars out there, 350Z/370Z’s, my friends Mustang GT’s, Camaro SS, Honda Civic Si’s, my cousins FK8 Type R, S2000’s, evo 8/9, and so on. I can say that the AWD system is a completely different animal especially with the active center differential helping. It has so much control and grip in the straight line and corners. It blew my mind when I first test drove one.
@@NorthKoreasSon the X definitely feels more comfortable and daily capable car than the 8 and 9. It’s just more updated as you would expect with a more modern design. Regardless, both platforms are great.
@@NorthKoreasSon faster? No. Just depends on your setup. I’ve only driven my cousins 500whp evo 9. I’ve rode in my friends evo X that makes a little over 800whp. Definitely a big difference between the two lol
Love my Evo X Final Edition. Only thing I was disappointed in was the fact that the recaros don't come in the final edition, which is strange. The manual shifter is very notchy and feels great to rip through at full throttle. Handles like a dream too.
I drive my canadian one daily-ish for 7 years now....Recaros and sexy BBS included. Love the seats, wouldn't be the same driving experience without them imho ;-) To answer @gabecruz1045, only issue I had was the clutch which was a little weak for the power. Put a stage 2, but didn't change the flywheel which I regret now that I have the money, but I'll take care of it. I love that car, it's so alive compared to all the electronic/comfy new ones. Not a cheap one to maintain, but I would be sad to sell it. Cheers !
The seats didn’t come in the 15 year because of safety standards. Also they added the parking assistant to the rear bumper while moving the side marker light to the mirror because of safety standards
Evo X was my dream car for under 100K for like ever. I have GR Yaris now and love it but a well looked after final edition Evo X would rock. Rip Mitsubitchy.😎
Ahh, the evo x! gorgeous! thr 4b11 was,definitely the better of the two. in relation to the model variants.... Mr - auto,leather buckets, zenon headlights, heated seats and premium rockford fosgate sound and bbs wheesl Gsr - manual, leather buckets came 2011 onwards as well as the bbs. early gsr has the enkei wheels and non leather recaro buckets . other then that, I think that's it. I may have missed some stuff, but that pretty much the go.
@Ross Reviews yeh 💯. that knowledge comes from just being around them over time. they did silly things with specs when they sent cars to different countries. so yeh, hard to keep it up for sure. anyhow, it was a pleasure watching as usual, mate, and appreciate your responding. take care bud
As an old school Mitsubishi fan, agreed....they have become a joke. Let's go back even before the Evo's, they had a range of cool turbocharged cars in the 1980's, Sigmas, Cordias and Starions. Mitsubishi has lost its way, but then, so have most other mainstream car makers, and if they haven't lost their way, they cease to exist.
I would never say the 4b11 was a better motor than the 4g63. Everyone of my pals who have had the X's had their engines fail on them within the first year of ownership. Stock power and boost. They were pretty weak out the box. Ive got an Evo V so im in the evo clubs here in the UK etc. Lots of issues with Evo's through out the ages but they seemed to have carried over to the X. Another crazy one is the AYC pumps failing and corroding at just a few years old. Absolutely insane as they cost 1.5- 2k to replace. Deffo something to look out for if your in the market for one.
When it comes to the fuel consumption and people saying how high it is, i reckon one thing people gotta realise is that the AWD plays a huge role, more weight, more maintenance, more power and torque and the engines working harder pulling all 4 wheels at the same time. Unlike your regular FWD or RWD cars (Depending on the model) the motor doesn’t need to work as hard unless if the car has a heavyweight engine. Even my mates 2.4L 08 VRX FWD lancer that he turbocharged making 300+hp, for a non evo x car (Same engine) he gets like 400-500km of tank (When he floors it) because he always travels high ways.., now if my mates lancer came with AWD it would get equally get terrible gas mileage like the evo would, It is kinda scary for these 4 bangers to be thirsty than a hulking v8 :/
I have a 2009 GSR tune by Eric Kosmic Motor sports and loving this car even more, its my daily driver for the pass 3 years sine i got it Never any problems just service regular especially that filter on the transmission, i change that every time i change my oil filter and again for over 3 years never any problems....only speeding tickets
The wheels do look good, but cheaped out Rotas instead of some genuine Advan RS style $$. Good looking car nontheless. Feed it some E85 and this is solid street car. Great review btw, keep them coming Ross. The roads you seem to choose are always the right ones to properly test a car too.
I am not a triton owner and never will be. But late model tritons really are keeping up and sometimes outdoing the other utes in Aus these days. And all for less $. Literally the only thing that has kept Mitsubishi afloat.
Yeah they also won the 2019 4wd 24/7 Ute test. The Pajeros were good too but no one was buying them unfortunately. Thanks for supporting them while not owning one 👍🏻
@@LifeOfTuners I disagree. While they have a lot of sponsors, if it was bias to get money it would’ve won this year and last year. To make it fair they get experts in every department of what makes a 4wd good and they score it, so I can’t see how these tests are bias towards the manufacturer who pays them the best.
im not sure about a top spec model but all i can go off is what i have driven (work ute & a rental) both absolute cheap nasty garbage ( tho probably base models)
think it depends on the year for the seat trimmings here in Aus. my 13/14 GSR has leather trimmed recaros as stock. Awesome video mate, like everyone else i wish they had of continued the evo. =(
I drive stock Lancer 8 everyday and I definitely agree with You, modern days Mitsubishi is just a shadow of their former glory. I think that last acceptable car is Evo X or even further Evo IX. Mitsubishi need someone like Carlos Ghosn (guy literally resurrected the Nissan brand during its greatest downfall)
Great video, I own an Evo X MR and live in Perth! Just wondering where you were driving in that video. I've been looking for somewhere to do some spirited driving.
Saving for a GSR out of pocket right now bc the insurance is currently too high for me to have in addition to a monthly car payment. I'm about halfway there, can't wait!
Hell yeah bro! I'm currently saving up to put down 40% down payment so the monthly isn't too bad. I would save up to just outright buy it but I truly want the payments on my credit report for auto lol
They still are iconic .. They just needa put out ah evo that can compete with today's mainstream cars... Everybody's bragging on dodges in my area UK ... I see why but I don't like it tho 😂... Jdm cars from the 80s n 90s paved the way for everything
Upgraded crank hub and they are pretty sweet. Mitsubishi should bring us an updated awd eclipse to rival the other manufacturers along with another evo that comes with sunroof.
I prefer automatic despite knowing how to drive manual. Automatics are just more convenient than manuals. But if given a choice of the Subaru WRX CVT and the manual, I'd take manual. CVT's are just shit.
Honestly I'd get the MR (I'll just black out the chrome) because it's quicker. Known fact that manuals are obviously slower; can't shift faster than a computer!
Mitsubishi has really gone soft. Even the Triton has gone soft and shit. The MJ Tritons were Japanese and the MKs were completely comparable to the Hilux. I remember last year I remembered about the Pajero which was great and wanted to be suprised to see that they still sold them. Unfortunately of course I found out on their website that they were only selling the “final edition” Pajero. Mitsubishi has fucked up big time.
Put the 380 up against the a BA 6 or a VZ and it'll surprise you. Lots of love for the old 380. Shame about the paint but everything else about them is better.....except where the power goes to.
Thank you for this awesome video, I LOVE my Evo X!!! I can definitely attest to driving at a higher RPM! Your definitely driving the MR, my GSR came with FULL leather Recaro seats here in the states. Once again, awesome video bro.
I own a 2010 GSR also US spec and it came with HIDs, but not leather seats or Rockford Fosgate audio. My friend owns a 2008 GSR his came with HIDs and RF audio but also no leather seats, but his is EU spec so I don't really know what is what lol
This is my old car. Stock wheels were my track wheels Rotas were for driving to street. MR comes with a few more things like better suspension / heated seats / wheels etc...
I have a 2005 Honda s2000 (ap2) been a dream car of mine since I was young love the driving dynamic and everything about the car. Sadly might end up moving to a different state where there are four seasons I live in California btw lol I was thinking about selling my s2k since it wouldn’t be practical in the snow. Would an evo 10 be a good platform to go into? I also have always wanted one might was well try out cars you like right!
It’s not an auto transmission. The SST is a manual dual clutch that can be run by the ECU or the driver. Have had one since 2018. Most reliable and fun car I ever had. No way it’s 17L/100km. Need to wait to have it accurate. it’s 9L in hway. 12L in traffic
Well when the evo x first came out, all the wvo 8 and 9 guys couldn't stop talking about how it's not a real evo, how much better the older ones were. Sports cars are already a niche thing it doesn't help when you had people swaying others from getting anything new. Remember new bad, old good.
I have a MY2008 delivered 2010 Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR with a SST gearbox. It wasn't just limited to the MR. If you had the cash, Mitsubishi would option it.
Looking for a new car next year and this is one of the dream cars...would you recommend it. Kinda novice at car stuff so not sure what to go for. But nothing really excites me like this Evo and a couple of other jdms....any help would be FABBB
It’s a good damn money pit. Haha So , not like anybody cares but I got mine when I was 21 back in 2016. It’s a 2012 gsr ,now owned pink slip ofcourse but let me tell you ! Yes ,it was a gas eater , people didn’t even believe haha “it’s a 4 cylinder “ 😂 yes ,it’s pricey to maintain but my god ,it’s the most rewarding . My advice is get your dream cat young. If it’s possible . Just get through it haha . Now I’m 28 and I own that built evo and now I’m almost half way through a 2021 srt charger . Evo takes that win every time even then.
Don't know if I agree with you on the Triton opinion and 4wd24-7 probably would aswell. Have you driven one or owned a ute? They seem to be a well priced ute, reliable and that's what the regular buyer wants in that particular range. Most of the other brands are good but way over priced plus the hilux is not what it used to be.
He owned a Work Trition for years and said it was fcking terrible and I agree with him Hilux is still one of the best trucks ever made Triton is garbage because it’s cheap 😂
i'm going off my experience in them.. i've had one as a work truck ( Terrible ) also rented one for a weekend once.. got me to where i needed but thats it lol.. cheap garbage IMO
Well when i am completing my Traineeship i am planning to trade my Subaru Legacy 3.0R to a mitsubishi lancer ev0 10 the same one in this video idc if it is an auto i like all cars if its manuell or auto trans
Man that car just has fun written all over it hey & why have they stopped making them because all this climate & EV crap has scared them off ? I'd say yes the woke dogs lol,anyway it was a great review & you had a blast so thanks Johnny Mate.
My answer to the question on the title... NO! I was looking at getting a '14 MR for very long time, and the price point is still the same as the MSRP if not higher than it was almost 10 years ago. So basically you're looking at buying a car for the same value a decade ago with a lot of miles, and more than likely has been modified, and ragged out.
@@RossReviewsau appreciate the response, but yeah I definitely already understand that. It's just not worth it in my opinion. I desire the Evo x for very long time. Almost pulled the trigger at the beginning of last year to purchase one, but said nope. Got a 911 instead lol. Still love the Evo x. I know they don't make them anymore, they're still highly desired, they still hold value and increased as well, but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
@@nafisjuraimi6882regular street driving in normal mode I get about 150miles on a full tank and a full tank of highway driving about 250 somewhere around there.
First of all your reviewing an SST evo which is not the best one to compare for the raw feel, should've done the 5 speed GSR. secondly no!! Mitsubishi Triton is not Garbage because it is the 4th best selling car in Australia. Please do your research before putting words and slander out there to the public.
My mate’s got a 2019 Triton with about 40,000km on it. He hates it, says it’s a complete shitbox and is about to unload it. Just his experience and opinion. Sad that Mitsubishi has lost the plot
@@RossReviewsau low ball on trade ins for cars that have a premium price tag on them because their deemed 'rare'. ended up getting 5k more trade in at another dealer
The original new price was between $70-82,000 depending on the model, it was later reduced to (from memory) $56K for the X MR. I paid 42.5 for mine with 88k on the clock, 6k more than the dealer (Bilia Volvo in Camberwell) had advertised. Of course all the salesmen had been driving it around while it was on their inventory, and had run up the miles (even after I had signed the contract) like the dodgy pricks they were.
I think both of you are looking at it differently. Ross I'm guessing you are talking about the driving experience while rwd is talking about it as a work tool
such a cool car. Definitely a shame that Mitsubishi has not put out any new sports cars
It’s a crying shame

Super Sport + paddles is the absolute best way to enjoy this car with an SST. Driving it normally will ruin the twin clutches overtime.

Would an evo 10 be a good platform to go into? I also have always wanted one might was well try out cars you like right!
It’s not an auto transmission. The SST is a manual dual clutch that can be run by the ECU or the driver. Have had one since 2018. Most reliable and fun car I ever had.
No way it’s 17L/100km. Need to wait to have it accurate. it’s 9L in hway. 12L in traffic
I’ve driven a lot of these and they are always super thirsty! More than V8s
high horsepower evox sst is hard to tune for the street. some tuners can smooth it out. some cant.
its a proper race car these
Still crazy to think Mitsubishi thinks a new Evo won’t sell… but somehow an $80k CAD Outlander 2.4 will😂
ikr! haha how ridiculous
Well when the evo x first came out, all the wvo 8 and 9 guys couldn't stop talking about how it's not a real evo, how much better the older ones were. Sports cars are already a niche thing it doesn't help when you had people swaying others from getting anything new. Remember new bad, old good.
Dzięki za filmik, autko marzenie 😃👍👍👍
the only reason to switch wheels on the mr is the bbs rims it has are only 8 inch wide putting 10 inch wide rims with wider tires means more grip
good point
My dream car man
Awesome fun
Loved the evo since I was a kid and dream to buy the MR one day :)
they are seriously quick!
After my Lancer X... I want an EVO X 😍
Evo 💪💪💪
I have the same car, it's perfect..
Great machines
I love brutally honest ross
HAHA i have to speak the truth
Please come to Japan again🇯🇵🙌
I LOVE JAPAN
hey, what modifications were made to the stock car?
my first car is a 2008 lancer, love it!
😈👌
what year MR would you prefer, even though they all have slight differences from packages, not the sst or motor
Try to find ones closer to the final editions. The older the SST on the MR is the more problems youll have
@@shad3128 i already bought an 08 😬… older year tranny problems is understandable that makes sense
@@shad3128 i might end up going kozmic rebuilt if that’s the case
I have a MY2008 delivered 2010 Mitsubishi Evolution X GSR with a SST gearbox.
It wasn't just limited to the MR.
If you had the cash, Mitsubishi would option it.
Thanks for the info
GSR only came in manual , your car is not original it’s a mixed parts car 😂😂😂
Looking for a new car next year and this is one of the dream cars...would you recommend it. Kinda novice at car stuff so not sure what to go for. But nothing really excites me like this Evo and a couple of other jdms....any help would be FABBB
Yes, absolutely but keep in mind it’s expensive on insurance and fuel
If you could find one it would be interesting to see you review a Magna Ralliart
i want to but cant find any
It’s a good damn money pit. Haha
So , not like anybody cares but I got mine when I was 21 back in 2016. It’s a 2012 gsr ,now owned pink slip ofcourse but let me tell you ! Yes ,it was a gas eater , people didn’t even believe haha “it’s a 4 cylinder “ 😂 yes ,it’s pricey to maintain but my god ,it’s the most rewarding . My advice is get your dream cat young. If it’s possible . Just get through it haha . Now I’m 28 and I own that built evo and now I’m almost half way through a 2021 srt charger .
Evo takes that win every time even then.
Mitsubishi evo is one the best affordable enthusiast cars but right now they don't make a single car that I have interest in all
100% the prices are still attainable here.. new mitsubishis are just not the same
Any chance of giving the new Z a drive soon?
I’ve tried to get it no hear back from Nissan 💀
I have yet to even spot one here in WA and drive all over the metro area for work. I have a feeling there is very few here in the state.
Like the looks of these ones more than the evo 9
good looking cars
Love a good turbo v6 popper streamers
Mad review, little beast. But are Tritons that bad?
I hate them 😅 each to their own tho
What’s the story behind your tā moko bro?
my family is from NZ i'm part maori
Chur, where do you whakapapa back to?
Don't know if I agree with you on the Triton opinion and 4wd24-7 probably would aswell.
Have you driven one or owned a ute?
They seem to be a well priced ute, reliable and that's what the regular buyer wants in that particular range.
Most of the other brands are good but way over priced plus the hilux is not what it used to be.
He owned a Work Trition for years and said it was fcking terrible and I agree with him Hilux is still one of the best trucks ever made Triton is garbage because it’s cheap 😂
@@xclsv1350 tug tug
@@xclsv1350 Better than a ldv though 🤣
i'm going off my experience in them.. i've had one as a work truck ( Terrible ) also rented one for a weekend once.. got me to where i needed but thats it lol.. cheap garbage IMO
The triton is one big piece of 💩 I driven plenty for work and I hate them. Hilux is still superior don't know what you are talking about.
awesome review
Thanks bro
Well when i am completing my Traineeship i am planning to trade my Subaru Legacy 3.0R to a mitsubishi lancer ev0 10 the same one in this video idc if it is an auto i like all cars if its manuell or auto trans
both transmissions are great TBH just depends what you want out of it
Can you please do a Ralliart comparison??
If I could find one!
EVO X is the only good looking EVO dont @ me
The Evo V for me is arguably the best looking evo of all time. And I used to own an Evo TME.
i like all evos
I want one so bad
this one is for sale ;)
Just sold my X MR. I got more than I paid for it and went back to nursing school. Miss that car!
I’m sure it is missed eh
Thanks..17 ltrs/100kms you'd be kickin yourself if you're gonna daily it def do ya homework buying cars
100% young buyers beware! This is an expensive daily ⛽️
I've got down to 9L/100km in my evo 8 when driving normally
Man that car just has fun written all over it hey & why have they stopped making them because all this climate & EV crap has scared them off ? I'd say yes the woke dogs lol,anyway it was a great review & you had a blast so thanks Johnny Mate.
Looks and sounds good
They go very good
@@RossReviewsau for a lot of reasons
Bring back the Evo! Evo 11?👀👀
They need too!!!
My dream car ❤
Anyone know what head unit that is?!?!
What is that area? Because i would love to go there and drive
Obrien road
My answer to the question on the title... NO! I was looking at getting a '14 MR for very long time, and the price point is still the same as the MSRP if not higher than it was almost 10 years ago.
So basically you're looking at buying a car for the same value a decade ago with a lot of miles, and more than likely has been modified, and ragged out.
These cars hold value because they are desirable and not made anymore.. I would argue it’s probably a safe investment tbf
@@RossReviewsau appreciate the response, but yeah I definitely already understand that. It's just not worth it in my opinion. I desire the Evo x for very long time. Almost pulled the trigger at the beginning of last year to purchase one, but said nope. Got a 911 instead lol. Still love the Evo x. I know they don't make them anymore, they're still highly desired, they still hold value and increased as well, but in the end I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
All Mitsubishi make now is SUV's
And crap ones at that
Rip 🪦
Beautiful cars these!
They are!
You need to review the 3000gt
Would love to see one!
How the hell a 2L turbo manages to get 17L/100km is beyond me. Even the Territory Turbo supposedly drank less than that.
It’s insane how thirsty this car is
@@RossReviewsau how many km can it cover for a full tank ?
@@nafisjuraimi6882regular street driving in normal mode I get about 150miles on a full tank and a full tank of highway driving about 250 somewhere around there.

@@thatguyben3128 sorry I get what you mean now. It was the video where the Karen was driving a Triton and flipped ross off right?
@@howtofixyourtech9945 all cool brother 👍🏼
First of all your reviewing an SST evo which is not the best one to compare for the raw feel, should've done the 5 speed GSR.
secondly no!! Mitsubishi Triton is not Garbage because it is the 4th best selling car in Australia. Please do your research before putting words and slander out there to the public.
My mate’s got a 2019 Triton with about 40,000km on it. He hates it, says it’s a complete shitbox and is about to unload it. Just his experience and opinion.
Sad that Mitsubishi has lost the plot
Pre 2019 tritons were solid vehicles I’ve seen them go well over 350 thousand klms but this generation seem to be very hit and miss
i'm just going off the work truck i used to have.. absolute cheap garbage..
70 - 80K ….. idk where you got that number from 😅
Australia
The paint matched fender vents don’t look good
Evo X Forever
They go hard
Nice car but considering its being sold by next ride it would be a hard pass unless you want to get taken on your next ride lol.
What wrong with NextRide lol
@@RossReviewsau low ball on trade ins for cars that have a premium price tag on them because their deemed 'rare'. ended up getting 5k more trade in at another dealer
we have the 2022 tritons at work, youre right cheap feeling garbage 😏
they are trash.. maybe the top of the line one is ok.. idk but all the ones i've been in are absolutely terrible!
sst is quicker if you are a newbeginner
Ugh this car looks like something a 16 year old would want
Why?
Bro just said they sell for 70k? Get me in contact with that buyer!
Australia $ 🇦🇺
The original new price was between $70-82,000 depending on the model, it was later reduced to (from memory) $56K for the X MR. I paid 42.5 for mine with 88k on the clock, 6k more than the dealer (Bilia Volvo in Camberwell) had advertised. Of course all the salesmen had been driving it around while it was on their inventory, and had run up the miles (even after I had signed the contract) like the dodgy pricks they were.
Mods, don't trash it. 🥴👍
I’m not a Mitsubishi fan but the comment about the Triton being garbage is bs, probably one of the most reliable utes on the market!
I had a work triton for years with the city of Stirling 💀🤮 worst vehicle I’ve ever driven sorry
I think both of you are looking at it differently. Ross I'm guessing you are talking about the driving experience while rwd is talking about it as a work tool
What happened to mitsubishi?...same as nissan. Renault happened i think. Damn shame
RIP :(
I'd like to see these people Sit down at the table with these car company's top brass or any employee and tell them...your trash lol! 😂😂😂
Evo x has 300 lb torque
