  • In this video, I'm having a drive in a Mitsubishi EVO 8, this one is the FQ340. and you can win this car on the LLF Games for just £1.99
    I like EVO's and even though it might be 18 years old. It can still teach a thing or two to the german rivalled hyper-hatches of what of how a turbocharged 4WD can behave on the road.

    After owning many evos and repairing many too I think the main points to highlight is the reliability issues with the evos which you did touch on. Especially the transmissions....however....parts are scarce and expensive. Running one just isn't what it was 10 to 15 years ago. It's mad money now.
    Yes they are drivers cars and raw but....over 500bhp on the evos I got sick of replacing broken transmissions. Even below 400 bhp they need to be handled delicately and that's back in 2010 when the gearboxes were ten a penny and plentiful on the second hand market.
    My 700bhp evo went through a gearbox every few weeks.
    My dsg TTRS while faster and boring in comparison to the handling and feedback of an evo.....just runs and runs ...and its transmissions can cope everyday. It never misses a beat. It's drove 220 miles to santapod ran 10s won its class and drove back.
    Evos are great cars but they are old tech and weak. Great peices of engineering for its time and great peices of nostalgia but weak. Running one for spares was like a second mortgage even back in 2010s
    Like you say I really do hope mitsubishi bring a new one out with strong up to date tech but it will be dsg no doubt and go the same way as the audis no doubt.
    The only option for them was to shot a sequential dog transmission in.....but shotting 15k trans into a car that costs around the same is a lot to do

    • @Bennoit007
      @Bennoit007 Před rokem

      Maybe for the drag strip the transmission isn’t quite the next best thing, but 500whp daily driven evos last forever man…please, maybe the dsg works just fibe but when the clutch worns out it’ll be a kick in the but to replace them same as evos or any other dsg cars that’s been beaten on…an rs3 cost about 80k Canadian money, used evos x goes for 30k and you drop 50k in it to compete with it…come on the evo will be cheaper and more reliable in the long run…and probably faster than the stock one….my 2 cents and I do own a evo 🥳

    • @jamesparker3822
      @jamesparker3822 Před rokem +2

      @@Bennoit007 are you speaking from experience from owning just one evo? It doesn't matter wether it's on the drag strip or on the road. All the evos 4 to 9 I've worked on its acceleration that kills the transmission.The transmission casting isn't strong enough and it forces the shafts apart and then that's the end of that . They are ticking time bomb.
      To say they are cheaper in the long run when parts are as scarce as they are already doesn't ring true either buddy. The prices of the cars and the parts are increasing exponentially.
      Evo 4 to 9 your wrong bud. I've owned and worked on many many evo 4 to 9's ...evo 10 no experience and isn't really relevant to the video as the engine and transmissions are totally different

    We are lucky enough to currently both an AMG A45S and a Mitsubishi Evo, and the Evo is by far the better handling car (it's proper AWD system helps) and is just a nicer drive, even the Mrs prefers the Evo.
    Even when we take out both cars, it is always the Evo that gets all the attention, people just love it. I've owned Evo's since 2003 and i will do my best to never be without one. Very special cars.

    • @nazarpredatorak

Super raw and just a pure drivers car.. of course, after my evo I did the thing that most evo owners do and jump ship to an rs3..and also have some regret selling it..but I’ll be buying another evo later on.

    This has some kudos and character for what it was in its time but that's it. There is no modern equivalent. You cannot compare a hyper hatch to these cars. An RS3 and AMG 45s has to jump through hoops in the modern world of regs and laws and still be fun. Seems to me that many commenting on the RS3 haven't driven the latest one. To say they aren't drivers cars is insanely stupid. Try north Wales to Brecon in the dead of night eyeballs out and tell me then the car isn't a drivers car. Its bloody brilliant, I can testify. I doubt the EVO could stay with it and yes I know there's years between them but I'm not the one bigging them up as modern day performance car slayers. Lets face it, In the dig, the RS3 or AMG would be gone by the time you clutch in clutch out, it simply wouldn't be close. The Evo is an interesting snapshot in automotive history but that is where it should stay. If it were me and I had the money, the real head turner is the UR Quattro Turbo. The Evo wouldn't get much more than a glance in a pub car park if that bad boy was parked next to it. Just my opinion so don't ride me on this lads.

      In the dig an 8 year old driving a rs3 or a45 could beat the evo I’ll be first to admit but That’s why modern cars don’t come close to these old bruisers, you actually have to drive them! If your a car person it’s all about the mechanical experience.. if you were born after the 80’s ended then chances are you probably think modern hyper hatches are the dogs dangly bits but as a purist in my mid 30’s old cars are where it’s at.. I’d rather have a mk2 escort or a cavalier Sri over an rs3… modern cars are just wet and take no talent or understanding… modern cars are just point and squirt 🤦‍♂️

      I own both the new AMG A45S and a Mitsubishi Evo, the Evo can out handle the A45S all day long. When me and the Mrs have put both cars up against each other the A45s will pull away slowly in a straight line from our 400bhp Evo, but the Evo can make things up on the bends due to it having a proper AWD system.
      What i am saying are FACTS, most who are commenting don't own both cars to be able to make such a judgment.
      Oh and for what it is worth, iv'e put 130,000 miles on the Evo and 23K on the A45S.

      But your argument is the same as all the rest. Youre more concerned about how people pay for them, and use that as your only argument. Which btw is absolutely fine, this bellend will happily debate with you with my extensive knowledge of cars, even though im not a 'car person'.
      Evo's are undoubtedly good at what they do/did, but are now lost in a time thats long gone and not coming back. Even Mitsubishi thought that. Theyre not good at anything youd expect of a motor of this era. The build quality and styling is typically Japanese and taxi like. RS3s and Evo's couldnt be further apart in comparison. Hence my original comment. Il stick with quality built, comfortable, plush and easy driven RS3 for my daily commute. You stick with your 00s ASBO car 👍🏼

    Mitsubishi would wipe the floor as long as they used the 4G63, or something similar + modernized. I bought an Evo8 new in 2004, dumped about $18k into it and had approx 570WHP, which back then, was head & shoulders above "American Muscle" cars.... It was EASY MONEY back then, as its reputation was not well known among American Muscle Heads, which never thought a little 2.0 litre 4 Click could gap their big bad V8...
    I won a lot of money off of that car, far more than I put into it... Ive always thought about getting another one some day, but the benefits of modern cars are to tempting when you are can only have so many goodies sitting in your garage.
    I went with a G80 M3CXD, as my daily, and as a daily..... It has to be the greatest practical sports car, ever. 4 seasons, decent fuel mileage, usable backseats, spacious trunk, stock performance, performance potential, ease of tapping into that potential, technology, & functionality... It goes from Housewife to Stripper with a push of a button. One minute I can have both kiddos sitting comfortably in their backseats & groceries in the spacious trunk... The next minute, Im gapping C8 Vettes, completely stock. Now that Ive upgraded a few aspects, Im now at approx 670AWHP & 590LbsTrq, and will be getting turbo upgrades this spring to push it up to around 800AWHP & 690LbsTrq. All accomplished without effecting its drivability or practicality, two reasons why I love her so much. More than I did my Evo8 when I was a young buck growing my rack...
    RS3 & TTRS are another great platform, esp with IROZ Motorsports and how far they have taken that platform. If I get another lady to grace my garage, that will be it, where drivability or practicality wont be a factor as the G80CXD will properly serve that function. RS3/TTRS..... OR..... G42 M240iXD... Which I think the G42 is such high value. With just a few basic mods, its essentially a 1st gen GTR. With as hard as they are pushing the Supra platform, many crossover parts+products, so I think in years to come the G42XD will be revered as a great tuners car. Once the aftermarket serves it well, its surely to be a sweet kit..

    What’s the point? Let’s see, the RZ3 is a lot more luxurious. You actually know what you’re paying for despite the EVO being expensive and very crappy build quality inside. You get a 5cyl-t engine, which gives you a lot more performance stock, as well as a lot more mod vs mod. Your RZ3 also won’t have issue after issue like an EVO does. An RS3 allows you to attend business meetings with other taking you seriously, while an EVO screams “kid” down the hall. You get the Audi badge which speaks for itself when it comes to AWD talking points.
    EVO’s are cool, but stop with the 🧢. It’s a Mitsubishi dude, not an Audi.
