All of the problems you have with the V are fixed in the much better IX... Good interview but a bit dull on the driving shot front. I've never seen an Evo driven so much off boost and to the speed limit 😂

4cyl one for sale near me with 545,000 kms.

Currently have a 10. I'm getting a 6 next😊

Reviews a v8 complains about fuel usage 😂

that's not an evo that's a five headed dragon

Uk watching here.. evo 5 in the past. Think my vids can be watched 😂 Great car.. amazing response while driving fast😅

Mines coming in September! Would you mind sharing your wheel set up?

There wasn't an evo 5 TME and we didn't get the evo 7 here in the US. I don't know if I can watch anymore of this.

Looking at a 2000 2.3 with 137k miles. What are some things to look out for? Is this a lot of miles? Not familiar with them

Putting the gas mileage as a con in a sports car is like complaining about how low a sports car is…..comes with the territory.

I just bought one with 200,000 miles on it. Still runs like a top..... For now. Just replacing a few hoses and some sensors. Still a lot of fun. We"ll see if this turns into a triumph or a money pit. Still love the car though. She is not perfect. But I only bought it for the fun

Is that a TME front bumper?

Hi, do you still have this car? How do you rate them? I'm looking at a 2.2 because it meets emissions in London. The 2.8 I'd have to pay £12.50 to go into London which is about 15 dollars at a guess so not really an option.

Beautiful car. Did you buy this from Bruno in NJ?

I own an Evo V in the US as well and I also have the same exact Ralliart keychain :) Where in the States are you?

Hello from Alberta, Canada. Great vid sir… I’d take anyone of em, but I do fancy the Evo 6 or 8. I do have a Evo X , MR P and love it 👍. Bought it brand new in 2009, Done a fair of modding /tuning. Burnt a valve in cylinder 3 and it sat for 10 years, rebuilt it last year, and it’s been great ever since… Only 66,000 km on it. Evos are such great platforms.

Anything specific I should look out for when shopping for a 4 or 5? I'm going to buy one from the auction, so it will be sight unseen with the exception of having someone do an inspection and take photos for me.

I'm having a hard time choosing between an evo 5 or 6 and a FD Rx-7 . You may have made up my mind.

Shenandoah backwards! Felt really weird for me to watch haha Looks like you had a great time!

Looks like fun

Nice Evo! Previous owner did some nice upgrades

Owning an* EVO V in America

Love mines..... had a 8 and now my 5. Got a few leads on parts but this has been my dream car along with my FD RX7

It’s literally *3 greatest of all time

Congrats on your Evo. A couple of corrections though... US got evo 8,9,10 only. All parts are not interchangeable between 4-9. Many parts are though. No such thing as an Evo 5 Tommi Makinen Edition. TME was a Evo 6.5. Those evo 9 Recaros are very nice although I do like the e5 seats a lot too. The Evo 7 valve cover is nice! And I see its got an Evo 6 rear wing and Evo 6.5 TME front bar. Its had some mods hey? Was it a track car with the tow hook up top? You talk to camera very well. I'll go now and check your other videos. Keep the updates coming! and visit my channel :)

A legendary timeless car for sure

correction from what you said, USDM evos started 8 not 7.

Randomly got this video recommended to me and I can see how passionate you are about evo’s so I’m happy to see it in good hands 🤝

Good looking car man, just picked up mine too, definitely a dream car of mine.

Love the car what size steering wheel is that?

Nice car!

Did you swap the motor because of problems or just because ?

My isF has bubbles in the coolant tank but there’s no overheat u think it’s the valley plate?

Stage 2 is the sweet spot for a daily GTI. Plenty of power and reliability. Best road trip car ever!

The intake manifold looks like a pain in the butt to remove, but once you do it, you realize it not that bad. I've removed it at least even times no to do waterpump installs and carbon cleanings. I can remove it in less than an hour easily.

經典之作

One of the sweetest GTIs I’ve seen. Between the color scheme, the modifications, rims, cabin accessories and just plain clean. LOVE this car….

Great video, and your car looks awesome, that intercooler looks so nice!

As another owner of a high mileage MK7 GTI. I agree with most of the things you said in this video. My GTI is big turbo and makes over 500whp on E85. It has just over 141K miles and has been solid. Completely stock motor as well. If you maintain these cars and don’t cheap out mods and maintenance, they will last a long time. One thing I did disagree on is the manual transmission being a “well designed” transmission. Anyone who thinks VW makes a good manual, hasn’t driven an a car with an actually good manual (Honda S2000, Civic Type R, BMW M3, Porsche 911). The VW manual has zero feel and is too assisted. I also wouldn’t call a manual that has a clutch so weak, it can barely hold stock power as “well designed”. It’s one of the main reasons I went for the DSG. VW makes a mediocre manual but a phenomenal DSG. As previously stated, my car makes over 500whp and the DSG handles it just fine. A manual GTI would need significant upgrades to handle that power lever. Also as a previous manual transmission owner. I find the DSG just as engaging, albeit in different way.

*PromoSM*

Oh. Memories … 🥲

Drive with 2 hands when speeding. Nothing wrong with going fast but nothing about this is badass. Get a phone mount.

Nice just bought one and couldn’t be happier

I just took ownership of a 1998 m roadster in arctic silver and im in love. Great video

Is fully modded lol cheated of coz is fast lmao

I've seen this place... but never see anyone out there--do you know if it's still used?

I will never sell mine. yeah, the headlights shows its age which I going to replace but on the road, it still can show off.

Great video! Are you doing any more videos on this car?

Great video. U still own the car

I’ve got an old 2006 is 250, it’s still nice and smooth. My next car is either an RX 200T or 350 Then I just keep thinking, an ISF would be a dream. No kids So I have options !!
