I'm gonna buy 1 anyways. $30,900 with 71k miles. It's always been my dream car and I'm damned if I'm not gonna chase my dreams. Life's to short to not enjoy it!
Totally agree! Go for it. Just make sure you get a good one 😁
and too profitable for someone who know to manipulate the dream of the commoner
@@MrJihadkoploThat’s deep man, real eye-opening stuff, but it’s just a cool car the guy wants.
You didn't buy it cause I know which one it is it's a FE in Red 👀
Looking at purchasing an Evo X in the next few months so this video was literally exactly what I needed. Thank you lads!
Good luck man, prices are skyrocketing
Did you manage to buy one? Any advice for someone who's planning on doing the same?
do not get sst, buy a manual one. trust me.
i went through two mechatronic units in my sst evo x costin 3k each just to repair and fit. big jobs.
wish i bought a manual.
took it ffrom 60k up to 120k as my daily driver and the only engine problem i had was maf (mass airflow sensor) needed replacing. minor.
strong car. strong engine just shit auto gearbox.
@@ChinnnnuzI just got a sst I made sure to get warranty with it from the dealer so if any mechanical or anything on the car shits the bed they have to fix it free of cost
I've had an (Australian delivered) 2008 X since 2012, which I bought with 88,000 Kms on it.
It was absolutely problem free (except that the ACD control module shat itself) until 290 000 km when the timing chain let go and it required an engine rebuild. I've had the car upgraded to 400+ KW, its now at 315,000km making it probably the highest mileage X on earth, and its still my daily driver. Best car I ever had.
Does it have SST?
@Western Cleverly yes, indeed it does. Still on its original clutches too.
@@felixjones9198 Reassuring to hear, I'm picking one up on Friday all being well with 88k miles on it and have been debating about doing the clutches.
@@Arixodiahow's the car? Did you replace the clutch and how much did it cost?
@@felixjones9198do you beat the car at all?
The Man. Great clip slick information 👌
Keep up the great work 🤙🤙👊
Damn You. Damn You. I checked out your M3 video cause I wanted to buy an E46 M3 to remake the Most Wanted version and after subscribing, lately I have found myself going through all your videos. Yet another youtube channel has recruited me into their cult.
Thank you! Love your buyers guide video
Test drove and sti, rs and ended up buying an evo. First is sti's are nice and drives the same as the rs but there's too many subarus and sti's on my area so no to that. RS maybe but not a big fan of its looks. Evo otoh is unique, more enjoyable to drive and looks aggressive. Just ask subaru where they got their design from🤣
We have the same story lol. I was gonna buy an rs no questions asked. Then I drove one and it was sheeet
@Craig Riverman the 4b11 can take more power but no way at all does it sound as good. You can't beat the subie rumbe
Current Evo x owner , have had mine for 7 years . 2012 gsr and let me tell you. It’s an absolute money pit of a car. It’s worth it depending on who you ask . For me ,I’m prob 60-65k deep with mine . 39k for the car and another 23 ish in parts and maintenance. Which tbh isn’t much considering other people I’ve talked to with the car. Be ready ,especially if it’s your first. It’s gets expensive real quick. You better have a genuine love for the car ,only way it’s justified lol everyday I get told so sell it.
This is 100% accurate, especially if you happen to have an engine failure or just build the engine to have piece of mind/more power. Excellent platform but prepare to spend money. Like all sports cars - money pit if you start modding.
modded or stock?
I know this is an irrelevant question but how’s mpg 😅it’s my dream car but I hope it won’t make me broke
@@zamanraja9531if you're going to use it as a daily drive then... prepare to pay a bit more
My neighbor has a evo x some how its always broken it only has 43k miles and has electrical issues up the wazoo.
Great vid. One note the shifter fork failure was not the manual its the sst that loses even gears.
Hello nice video! I like the community behind evo x including your videos. I would like to know more about the tarmac gravel and snow application to the suspension as you mentioned in this video. If you guys have the time I would appreciate that video! Thank you again for information you share!
Great timing for this vid
Another great video!
Thank you for this video!!
Your very welcome
do the uprated diff pins depend on mileage and if so at what mileage would such symptoms occur?
The oil changes won't stop the timing chain stretching. Its a rubbish design. There is an updated version with stronger links which supersedes the old design. Needs doing before 40k. Also definitely get the fuel pump relay replaced to the new orange one. The original black ones burn out making the car run lean. A few engines on evo x have been destroyed because of this.
I had an Evo 8 FQ300 bought after my Subaru P1 - chalk n cheese cars, Evo far more supirior but never tried changing the modes - WE need a MODE SELECTION vid :-)
That can be arranged.
@@ScottishCarClan and last about 4 seconds lol
Keep in mind after 30 k miles of hard driving; even with the upgraded timing chain, change out tensioner otherwise the chain will skip a tooth… my 20111 EVO X is pushing 565 whp and 460 tq
That is some big power! What mods?
@@ScottishCarClan Full bolt ons with DOM 3.0 XTR, E-85 & Methanol Spray. Be sure to always ditch the stock crappy spark plugs; I lost my head when the ceramic broke and dropped into my cylinder.
Evo X owners, come together and inform me which year is the best to buy please 🙏 currently looking to get one but want some experienced options
What’s the blue lines on the dash? Love it. Would like to get it on my evo
Great channel
Thank you :-)
I owned an STI. Now looking for a different car and really gearing towards the evo X. Looked at the Focus RS and I heard all the transmissions shit themselves in those cars.
Looking at purchasing a 2015 gsr 55k miles original owner. He has full bolt ons and pro tuned by a well known tuner in my area, he’s asking 28k and says he’ll include all stock parts. I think it’s an awesome price I’m willing to pay the evos been my dream car since highschool. Is it worth it?
Did you get it
Can a 2008 model still be considered reliable in this day and age?
You have to let them WARM UP.
Just finish paying my 2008 evo x currently upgrading my brakes
What brakes are you going for ?
How has it been in terms of reliability?
@@jesusurbina7343 still running no issues
@@ScottishCarClan infinity brake kit
I got a subaru ad on this video 💀
How very apt! Thanks for watching!
Turbo seals is white smoke not blue.
Your video r great but I think u would get a lot more views and likes if u gave facts about the cars in different countries also cause its not all the same
I bought it already 😬
Just bought a 2008 with 70k miles fully stock 1 owner for 15k
Holy shit that seems like the best deal I have yet seen if the car is in good conditions
What you guys think? Clean title no accident 2 owner evo x manual 2008 127k mileage, $17k what you guys comment? Should i cop or nah?
With how the market is yeah
High mileage but not bad price.
@@atafsultan3553TF
high mileage for an 08?
thats almost 20yrs ago😂
Is every Evo X a lancer ? I’ve seen memes of the older evos like the 9s where they get pissed if you say nice lancer, so is every Evo a lancer ?
Yes lancer evolution
It is a lancer but a better one
Well technically there was one Evo that wasn't a Lancer, the Pajero Evolution.
But yes, the basis of every Evo is a Lancer.
But they are very different underneath, much more complex suspension, extra bracing & welds.
Lighter materials in the construction.
Second hand there are simply too many issues for such a highly stressed car from new, which is likely to have been thrashed during ownership and now exists without a UK manufacturer presence! It's one of those cars you want, and maybe blinded by desire, but unless it's been a garage queen give an Evo X a miss unless you have very deep pockets or are a masochist...
Mitsubishi, The Bmw of Asian cars after warranty the thing just starts to fall apart.
What’s mpg like 👀👀
I believe the Evo X SST is supposed to be capable of 27 mpg.
@@Zerofightervi Only if you drive it like an old man. Expect 20/21 MPG. 13 MPG if pushing hard on the road, with a FQ-330 that is.
@@siliconjim2554 Obviously, which is why I said it was capable, didn't say it was going to be fun getting those figures.
@@Zerofightervi I was giving you a genuine reply based on my experience of having owned one for the last 10 years and trying to achieve the claimed MPG.
To late
fake side vents or nah?
Real side vents helps get rid of engine heat
p.s. drivr not trust you to drive!!?? !!
Ha, this was a bit of a smash and grab video. We took what we could get!
I still want the fq400
Waste of money man. Get an fq300/330 and save yourself £5000. (That’s after you added 150whp)
I think the u.s STI S209 a waste of money lol
@@4bvenom733 did you ever get an evo mate?
This is shockingly bad, I like the look of the car but a 2000 honda civic hatch doesn't have any problems compared to this .....has anyone swapped a k20 in one of these ?
£680 road tax, tf
I just bought an Evo X last moth and wondering how do you turn off snow mode in settings?
SST sucks.
“Affordable” 🥲
