[NoZa] xAtomic it’s rare because there were very few of these made as an automatic. It has slightly less horsepower than the manual version but it’s more agile and chipper to drive around corners than the manual version. It was the inspiration for the next gen MR and GSR.
It's actually 268 hp or 272 ps. Top end power just a bit lower from the GSR which is 280 ps. Mitsu did that so this Evo will be more responsive. Tried this car before, it's very fun! More comfy ride than the manual, more quieter, and breezes thru traffic. LOL. This is a limited prod. Evo dubbed "Gentleman's Express" by the Japanese. It was said that stock to stock, this Evo is faster than the Manual off the line! It's was also the inspiration for the Evo X MR. :)
I like they remove almost everything that made it cool cosmetically and in the interior, to the point where it looks like a lancer Ralliart. A true sleeper it is.
Hi, this GT-A has some issues you need to attend to now! Those three lights, tarmac gravel and snow should not , under any condition, be on at the same time. Something is wrong with your acd system!! Check that out
The only game I know that has this exact car is Gran Turismo 4. It has this exact quick and butter smooth 5 speed automatic. It's really fun to use and slurr through the gears without loss of acceleration. It's similar to other smooth automatics in this game (Jaguar S-Type R/XKR R and Mercedes SL 500/55).
I believe these were called the 'Gentlemen's Express'! I can see why. It would be amazing to drive a stock one as a commuter car (providing you could afford the fuel bills)
I dont think the AYC is working btw, that's why the 3 ACD lights are constantly on. But I can't see if the AYC light is always on either, if it isn't someone's taken the bulb out
Hey Jack, I think you are correct. I only noticed this when I was editing, I didn't think of it at the time of the filming. I have spoken to the owner and he confirms that the AYC wasn't working during the video. Well spotted 👍
@@PerformanceCarsChannel Not only AYC, the ACD is also not working... It seems like the pump has malfunctioned (standard evo issue) which is needed for both: ACD nad AYC. Basically you drove the car with open center and rear diffs.
I looked this up because I'm looking at an Airtrek -R Turbo Ralliart version. The auto box makes me a bit sad. Wish they came in manual, but thinking of buying it to convert to manual in future. I like the SUV aspects and practicality with the Evo tuning abilities.
I would love to get one of these, but can’t because it has to be 25 years old to import into the US. I don’t even care that it’s an automatic. It wouldn’t be getting a manual swap either. I bet it’s fun to drive in it’s own way. No wonder the Japanese nicknamed the GT-A the “Gentleman’s Express”
quite enjoyed this review. id buy that car. auto so what can still do manual for a race lol. but on that point the autobox seems to work quite sporty. shame about the seats. but thats something can be sorted
Thanks for the comment :) The auto box isn't too bad considering this car was manufactured some years ago. It's no where near as quick as a DSG box for example. I later found out that you can opt for the Recaro's when buying new so it was a choice the buyer made.
the evo 7 gta is more like an evolved version of cedia gt with a 4g63na and fwd instead of an awd. interesting. saw some conversions of the cedia gt with the gta 7 internals its a true sleeper
Well the Newest Gen American Market Subaru WRX comes in a CVT Auto or a 6 Speed Manual. Not sure if the JDM market also offers the auto but I know they're here in the USA, and I can't recall or do i claim to know if there were auto WRX's before those. I would be interested to see one if there were though.
This is my Dream Car. 5 more years to go and I can import one here to the States. Why auto? Well because I am paralyzed from the waist down. EVO 10's are 40+ grand now for a un molested one.
i think i might be being stupid but why does the evo make a high pitch squeak almost when the throttle is let off but most other cars with blow off valves make a much different sound when the throttle is let off.
But like they really made sure that your not buying a “proper” EVO 7 GSR. Like it’s nice ig but I feel like you would get a lot of hate in the EVO community. No Recaros? No Big spoiler. Idk if u had a chance to buy a EVO I don’t think you’ll buy this car unless it was cheap
@@quincy2845 as long as timing cover is facing the passenger side, it will bolt up. 3g Eclipse everything bolts directly together no mods needed. 2g Eclipse you will need some mods. Chech out Miguel DSM
Yeah. It’s like a polished more comfy Evo. It’s quieter too with those extra sound absorbing material which the Gsr doesn’t have. You can request those recaros and “thunder spoiler” as option too.
I have them autogrip tyres on the front of my focus st as it had them on when I brought it, they are absolutely rubbish in the wet they have no grip at all lol
PerformanceCars I haven't changed them yet as they are like new and i only use the car at weekends, but i have been looking about to find some replacements, a lot of people have been recommending Michelin pilot sport 4s so i will probably go with them.
PerformanceCars It's a car I was considering as it ticks a lot of boxes: I am a big JDM fan and love Japanese turbo monsters however currently drive a well specced Golf MK5 GT TDi and have begun to enjoy the build quality and refinement of the brand. The R32 sounds nice, is reasonably powerful, has all wheel drive (Haldex) and is a nice place to sit in. I know there's quicker Japanese cars out there but I do a lot of miles and they do lack the general interior build quality and refinement of German brands sadly.
Lol, it's strange right but I suppose this opens up their market a little bit more as there are many people who would love to own an Evo but may not be able to drive manual.
wow i believe you're the first youtuber who properly review the GT-A! such a rare gem
Thank you for that wonderful comment and support. I really appreciate it 😊
Someone THATS NOT A FUCKEN RARE GEM, IT HAS AUTOMATIC TRASMISSION
+[NoZa] xAtomic DID U SAY AN AUTOMATIC?

Thanks for clarifying the performance figures from factory. Never knew about this being the inspiration for the Evo X
I agree with you, its a Gentlemans Evo. Thats why there's no Recaro Seats, Momo Steering wheel, non vented Hood.
I like they remove almost everything that made it cool cosmetically and in the interior, to the point where it looks like a lancer Ralliart. A true sleeper it is.
enjoying my gt-a everyday ..
changed bonnet and rear wing
easy in traffic and power when needed

I found out about the Evo 7 Gta because of Gran Turismo Sport. I was learning about the history of Mitsubishi and saw it.
Reliable Auto for the weekly drive, and manual for weekend track days.
I love automatic, definitely buying this one
One of my favourite sleepers.

Okay guys thanks !! Now I know FOR SURE what car I’m getting next 😈😈
Driving gloves on the street got me creasing 😂 … I’ll have to remember em on the school run
I wouldn’t mind getting one too bad here in the USA I gotta wait a few years to buy one.
definitely you know how to do a car review! !
Big thank you for the comment and support, I really appreciate it 😊
im waiting till im 25 then ima buy an evo!
You wouldn't be disappointed. Do be prepared as it can be expensive maintaining the car.
Excellent video as always mate, keep up the good work!
Thank you for the comment and support, I really appreciate it 😊
I like this car my bro now is in the market
@1:07 is the Evo’s ACD going bad? All 3 (tarmac, gravel, snow) lighting up.
Im 19 y/o and i own evo gta 2002 model. All stock and has 99,000km
Were u get the money I had to sell mine in few months cuz it cost me 20$ everyday gas
I believe these were called the 'Gentlemen's Express'! I can see why. It would be amazing to drive a stock one as a commuter car (providing you could afford the fuel bills)
Yes, fuel bills would be higher than a normal car I suppose as these engines are quite thirsty. Services aren't cheap either.
I want it even though it's auto
I dont think the AYC is working btw, that's why the 3 ACD lights are constantly on. But I can't see if the AYC light is always on either, if it isn't someone's taken the bulb out

Good review mate !
you know what they say, "No glove, No love"
👍
Wow I think this might just be cooler then a regular Evo 👀🥵
The second I get my licence I'm buying this 😍😍😍
we don't need more dumb kids crashing Evo's
Nah bro your getting a Evo 7 manual
I remember atleast 10 there was an old wrx automatic I think it was called gc8 but estate version
I don't think I have ever heard of an automatic Subaru. Let me know if you find it again 😊
PerformanceCars I was meant to write atleast 10 years ago not atleast 10 lol

aftermarket HKS BOV. I had one and I replaced it with stock recirculating unit
why is the video in 4:3
We do apologise, we didn't realise the camera setting were changed accidentally and noticed after uploading the files onto the computer.
Haha no need to say sorry, was still a nice video
Where can I get this car?
But like they really made sure that your not buying a “proper” EVO 7 GSR. Like it’s nice ig but I feel like you would get a lot of hate in the EVO community. No Recaros? No Big spoiler. Idk if u had a chance to buy a EVO I don’t think you’ll buy this car unless it was cheap
TommyWeebYeah should get one
Was there really any need for gloves?
Serious question will the motor and transmission fit in 95-99 2G eclipse??
Only the gs/rs
@@jameslenoir9325 hard too gs or the 2.4l gs spyder ??
@@quincy2845 as long as timing cover is facing the passenger side, it will bolt up. 3g Eclipse everything bolts directly together no mods needed. 2g Eclipse you will need some mods. Chech out Miguel DSM
Does the wheel-mounted rocker shift switches work outside of manual mode?
No they don't
Would this be a good daily in Canada? And is it reasonable to manual swap later on?
from what I've heard it is reasonable to change to manuel, probably cheaper than just buying the GSR.
Is this stock?
This man just fisted an exhaust. HAA
Lol, hope it made you laugh 😊
I'll take it
This Evo GTA dubbed as "Gentleman's EVO"
Thats why theres no Recaro seats and Momo steering wheel, non vented hood, lower spoiler.
Yeah. It’s like a polished more comfy Evo. It’s quieter too with those extra sound absorbing material which the Gsr doesn’t have.
You can request those recaros and “thunder spoiler” as option too.
I have them autogrip tyres on the front of my focus st as it had them on when I brought it, they are absolutely rubbish in the wet they have no grip at all lol
I have to agree with you 100%. I personally would never go cheap on tyres or brakes. What tyres are you using now?
PerformanceCars I haven't changed them yet as they are like new and i only use the car at weekends, but i have been looking about to find some replacements, a lot of people have been recommending Michelin pilot sport 4s so i will probably go with them.
is it legal in the u.s
You can import it cos that car was made here
Comfortable evo? take my money
I've just thought of something. It would be great for someone with a disability but who still wants some excitement.
That's not a bad example at all
Keep up the awesome videos bro. I was wondering what you think of the Mk5 Golf R32?
Big thanks 😊 I know that the Mk5 Golf R32 is quite quick but I have yet to drive one. Do you like that car?

Tanveer Akbar i have a blue gta for a track car, and as im paralysed from the chest down this car being auto is great
you sound a little bit like stewie griffin from family guy
Lol, do I really? Maybe I watch Family Guy a little bit too much
too bad it doesn't have the original wheels.
They would....they are exactly the same :)
I mean...they have the same size :). These are stock Lancer Gt-A brakes, just painted in different color.
It is a shame but at least they are still Evo alloys.
these are evo 9 wheels

An automatic Evo? What on earth did I just witness here? I'm going to pretend I didn't see this video.
Lol, it's strange right but I suppose this opens up their market a little bit more as there are many people who would love to own an Evo but may not be able to drive manual.
how much hp and boost will the evo 7 gta transmission take
+KJ Wong What's wrong with an Automatic Evo?
@@cassandraking6426 180hp extra
Real cars dont drive them selfs
[NoZa] xAtomic it still needs a person to drive it so unless it’s a driverless car, that comment makes no sense
u talking about tesla mate?
I love how you say Mitsubishi 😂
