In this episode, I put my 2005 Lancer Evolution 8 to the test with one question in mind: is it the most exciting car you can get for $20,000? The Evo 8 promises an exhilarating ride, with its turbo sounds, waste gates, and blow off valve making for a truly immersive driving experience. From redlining over and over again to the huge grins it brings, this car is pure fun on wheels.
Just as I was about to crown the Evo 8 as the ultimate sub-$20K thrill machine, an unexpected twist occurred. In a true display of EVO life, the clutch gave out right in the middle of the highway. What followed was a coast down the off-ramp and a two-block push to safety. Despite the breakdown, the adventure with the Evo 8 was an unforgettable experience.
Watch this rollercoaster review to see the highs and lows of owning a 2005 Lancer Evolution 8, and whether its performance and excitement outweigh the infamous EVO life reliability issues.

I am the original owner of a stock an Evo 8, 195,000 miles, it has never failed me. It has the forged MR BBS wheels and the MR Bilstein suspension. No burnouts, the clutch was replaced at 185,000 miles. Normal maintenance, the best lubricants. If you are blowing up clutches and engines, you don’t know how to drive or you don’t understand the car. Stock it is not a drag racer but a perfectly balanced tool to carve canyons. The steering feel is second only to a Lotus Elise, the Brembo brakes are as good as it gets in stopping power and feel. I have owned many cars in my 82 years and the Evo is the best sedan I have ever owned.
Comment is on point. Car breaking had nothing to do with my driving. Clutch was shot. Once I replaced it, it was perfect
Not $20000 no more 😢 now it’s more like $30k
An Evo needs to be built properly to be fast and reliable, mine makes 500hp to the wheels, revs to 9000rpm and never gave me issues. On the track, it laps 2 seconds quicker than a 991.2 GT3 RS at my local track. Too many people don't know how to build them and just slap different parts and tune it poorly - that's when it breaks. That's why they're the basis for the world's quickest time attack cars (look up Tilton Evo for reference).
Whats up my friend. Could you please send me a parts list? Would love to build mine. Please DM me on Instagram. Would love to experience what you are experiencing with your car.
@@MiamiMiles No problems at all! I'll email you a build list, these cars are phenomenal once they're modded properly.
@@sodazman Thank you for sending it over my friend. Appreciate you :)
@@MiamiMiles You're welcome my friend, would be great to see you do a proper Evo build on your channel! :)
@@sodazman pricing it out as we speak 😎
Hilarious ending 😂 “Dada broke Evo” for life
Lawn furniture for Max to look at 😆
No people used and abuse the shit out of an evo. Then are surprised it breaks.
As a previous owner of an Evo IX, they’re such an amazing cars. Likely imma gonna get another Evo soon, perhaps a VII or maybe a CP9A (Evo 5/6)
I still have mine, Evo IX, 1 lucky owner since new. I'm getting old, she still looks amazing. Such a machine! So much fun, stupid fast.
Happy you are still loving your EVo
funny as shit, love 2000's era cars
I duno if yourve ever driven the ce9a model evo but these ct9a versions are alot better steering and mechanically upgraded to suit different terrain, might need another review after yourve got the car to drivable spec where your not driving with so much ware.
Here before this video blows up
Cars already blown up lol
@@MiamiMiles sell it to me.
Ah yes. A car that I can actually afford unlike your other cars 😂
Don’t know if you’d want it lol
Hands down, the best car CZcamsr in Miami 🙌🏿🔥
Thank you my friend
Push it with the trunk, not the wing 😂 You are going to dent it. Under 400whp they are actually decently reliable. I’m guessing that car has a bit of history with bad owners.
Facts. But I’ve fixed it now. Runs like a champ
20k for a clapped one maybe
Like mine lol
The evo isn't the poster child of fast and furious or need for speed.
Miami miles evo
Low mileage not abused are approaching 60-75k
Yep. Crazy how the market is
I bet the mono lock collar broke
Clutch was destroyed. Since been replaced.
20k for a evo when 3 years ago. Evo 8-9 prices 📈
Mine was $20k. Perhaps cuz it’s a piece of shit lol
@@MiamiMiles looks pretty good to me.
Def not a car guy. Hoodscoop fins are missing. Also, with proper maintenance and tuning I don't see why this engine should break. Seems like a user or tuner error
lmao 20000 cuh you getting a shit box that you gotta drop bags for or you gotta join luffy and find the missing one piece love the evos tho
Agreed. Already been dropping bags lol
😂😂😂
Reliability not great, expensive to maintain, really not the option. Civic type r better option.
Agreed
If want to make alot of power then be my guess
Sell it
