EVO X: "Have the time of your life while terrifying everyone you love"

[@Geo-Media]

💀😂😂😂

[@stlz07ruby]

"The Evo bends the earth to its will." Now, I want it.

[@turbo108]

I bought one because of this video! And everything is true the Evo X is amazing

[@EverydayDriver]

Congrats! We're flattered that you've watched this piece so much, and very excited you got to realize your dream of owning one. Thanks for watching and being a fan of what we do!

[@transce]

I'd rather watch you guys than Car & Driver, DRIVE, or Motor Trend. You guys rock.

[@Monstero5o]

You can have the time of your life, while terrifying anyone in the car.

[@dlloydgriffin1]

Suddenly find myself looking at Evos and found this gem! Old school Everyday Driver! Curse words included even!

[@dandom01]

These two guys are probably the best car reviewers out there. I love how they really bring out so many details in such short videos. You two are great! Thanx "EverydayDriver"

[@EYE50MM]

That review is actually, REALLY GOOD! You guys are funny , the camera work in all your shots are great. Also the fact that the music was low on the volume is GREAT. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing the Evo X's exhaust as well. Though it could have been a bit louder.

[@stihlyaugenblick]

Great video! I love your sense of humor, plus you nailed the experience of driving a car like this for me. "This car doesn't handle, it bends the earth to its will."

[@OutPuT]

"It bends the Earth to it's will." These guys are awesome.

[@Diamondsarekewl]

WOW! I just found your channel a few moments ago and I am very impressed. Your car reviews are excellent and very professional. Please keep up with the great work!

[@EverydayDriver]

@TheThedragonwarrior - We highly recommend you drive both, as the 370 & Evo X feel very different behind the wheel. The Evo has a better dual-clutch transmission if you don't want the manual. The Zs synchro-rev manual is awesome. The Evo will have more amazing handling and be more versatile. The 370z has great RWD handling, but the Evo will probably amaze you more.

[@doromate]

sportbike was my 2016 goal, lancer evo x is my 2017 goal, I have to buy this car, and I know i will love it as my everyday vehicle :)

[@sabbathian]

Great review guys ;) This is the first time I saw EverydayDriver review and I really love it ;)

[@EverydayDriver]

The Evo X is the 10th version of the Lance Evolution. In the US It is offered in two model designations, the GSR (in this review) which is 5 speed manual, and the MR which is 6 Speed Dual clutch. - there are other model variations sold elsewhere - . We have a review of a MR coming soon. I hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

[@mikeyevo2422]

I have watched this review many times.I just bought a 2010 Evo MR touring it's such a blast to drive.Same color as this video it looks awesome

[@AbsoloutelyNothing]

I love you reviews! You criticize when necessary and praise when necessary. Great to know the pros and cons. Thanks! :)

[@CEOkiller]

They make the car sound like Chuck Norris... "bends the earth to it's will..."

[@ys177]

I have an evo x. I love this car so much I watch this video everynight when im not driving!

[@thugglife7]

I own a 2013 gsr and I'm absolutely in love with it. He's right I drive it everyday with the biggest smile on my face. I did drive an MR though, and even though I love stick, it's amazing what that dual clutch tranny can do

[@DesignatedMarksmanRonin]

Got screwed out of buying a '14 GSR from a dealership and bought a '14 Camaro SS instead. Would you recommend em trading my SS for a GSR? lol

[@Smo0o0okee]

PREDAtor4B11T how is it doing with fuel and parts repairing stuff , i'm planing to buy one

[@combatc87]

It's ~3500 pounds for the GSR, ~3600 for the MR. My clutch made it to 25k miles, but I've a few friends that went to 40k+, it's all driving style. And yeah, the seats are amazing.

[@jjjustin182]

love this vid . you guys do great reviews! oh, and i wish i had your jobs, it must be awesome!

[@NismoCA]

You guys did a GREAT review of this car to see how it performs. I really liked how you pushed the car to its limit and actually drove it on the twisties instead of straight road. The rest of the reviews on KZbin are BS and many of the guys just talk about the specs of the car instead of actually driving it to to see how it runs. This is what you call a review!

[@eviljimmy45]

planning on getting one of these after summer im super excited!

[@monkeyzer0]

In 2010 Mitsubishi released a small number of Evo X SEs (340 to be exact). It’s the car you guys were looking for. All of the go fast bits for the MR (SST transmission, Bilstein dampers, Eibach springs, aluminum roof) with none of the frills: no leather, no sun roof, no nav system/hard drive). It sold for about $36K - much cheaper than an MR. They were released to the dealers a couple of months before the 2011models, so by early 2011, the dealers would let them go fairly cheap. They are still out there. Extremely rare and under appreciated.

[@banshee511]

You guys are hilarious! The review was informative, and cracked me up like Top Gear. Keep up the great work.

[@EverydayDriver]

MR review was posted late last year and is available on our Channel. We agree that the GSR needs a 6th gear, and the MR SST is a very impressive transmission. We hope you'll find and watch our MR review, and we welcome your thoughts. Thanks for watching!

[@ericimi]

Just bought my evo x gsr !! Phantom black cant wait to pick it up

[@jmdizzle23]

I loved this review. They where making jokes but also being completely serious about it.

[@joshyg12]

I bought mine yesterday. I love it!!

[@MonsterChad27]

Love this review. And the digital screen gives you that old school feel for me. Some reviews were ok like inside line etc. I bought this car cuz of this review lol. I also like your reviews on old cars like the 300zx. Keep up the good work guys. Also are you guys going to review the new STI 2010 or 2011 i think.

[@MrTurbo4G63T]

I love your channel, it is accurate and non bias review. I hope you guys can do review on 3000GT VR4 or Eclipse Turbo. Those cars are the most underrated and destroyed by the fast and furious. Good luck getting hands on the stock and clean ones. They are hard to find.!

[@saltamontesfc]

these guys are awesome! i love their comments! as a matter of fact ima go drive my evo rite now!!

[@DancingGeisha86]

im getting one next week im soo excited i can hardly contain myself!!!

[@dougsmith7908]

Future classic the wing makes the car!!

[@INumba1Stunna]

EVOOOOO

[@BigBlazer82]

Nice Review Guys!!! Loved it, loved the car!

[@Strike86]

Love your reviews guys - screw all the guys expecting Top Gear who give these vids the thumbs down. It's a really informative and honest show. Beautiful car as well - Mitsubishi aren't famous for their design but when they try, they succeed.

[@TLemonnn]

Watching this 11 years later but hey, these guys are cool.

[@TheThedragonwarrior]

@EverydayDriver Thank you, you guys are GREAT!

[@souljaruman1]

After watching this review so many times and almost memorising the script, i can't wait for the MR review!

[@disndat11]

Excellent review

[@ReaperClues]

love the videos you guys make and the evo is my dream car evos have been for 12 years now but i still have never owned or even got to ride in one. i hope to have a evo before they go hybrid but who knows.keep making amazing videos guys

[@jeffclark6872]

cheap fighter jet

[@Ajmayjay]

YES!!! The evo is one of the COOLEST looking and BEST cars you can buy for that price. which is why next year (when I turn 16) I'm getting mine for christmas, in blue

[@sgtcojonez]

I think i watched this review like 10 times. Love it , love the EVO more of course.

[@aquateen77723]

"You can have the time of your life while terrifying the ones you love." Brilliant!!! hahahaha!

[@coreykunz1188]

Great review!

[@drumlleycult89]

Just bought a 2010 Evo SE today...best decision of my life!

[@KaloqnBankov]

Damn i must stop doing this to myself! Can't afford to get one of those but still keep watching evo's vods :-)

[@Achemparathy]

thank you so much finally i found some good comments on the evo x

[@Smennyboy]

Wow, I had no idea the Evo 8 is that much better, I thought they improved them every year. Thanks for the information, no chance I'm buying anything other than an 8 ! And your lucky to have been riding in an evo !

[@MrsMogg]

I can't wait for your review of the MR !!

[@DucatiPaso750]

I went to see one at the dealer today. It's nice inside and out. My only gripes: 1: it needs 91 octane fuel, 2: It gets only 17 MPG city, and, 3: the trunk is only large enough for about four shoe boxes.

[@4geclipsegt70]

i currently drive an 08 eclipse gt and i want this EVOOOO!

[@MrMemyselfandi415]

2:47 LMAO! That's the BEST Sentence in this whole video. HAHHAAHAHAAAAaaa Awesome stuff...LOVE you guys!

[@tato.2938]

yee

[@MrMajik2]

Love my Evo X. Absolutely everything they said was true. Considering you can do a cold air intake, exhaust, and a tune and be at or around 400whp on stock boost, you realize it's by far the biggest bang for your buck. Family men that are sports car enthusiasts everywhere should rejoice as this is a near perfect compromise of space and performance.

[@Yeetcannon57]

I love this car my friends got a 93 Evo and let me tell you they've come a long way.

[@BaSiC47]

Awesome Car! Nice Commentary there.

[@nickmaz969]

great video and review i agree u guys should be the topgear usa hosts

[@EverydayDriver]

@warikplaya - Yes, you're considering 2 different groups. The Evo & WRX are one group, and the A4 & CC are the other. If you want refinement, long-distance cruising, etc... go with the CC - It's a better looking, more interesting A4 for less money. The base A4 may feel a bit better to drive, but not by much. If you want performance... go with the EVO. It's the best performance car of your choices by a wide margin. The WRX is fun, but the EVO is more amazing and will give you a bigger grin.

[@wowcrazy70]

When it comes to reviews on cars I only come to these guys lol

[@haik000]

"You can have the time of your life while you terrify everyone you love!" hahahah i love it!

[@lukflorin]

informative and entertaining video! keep it up :)

[@mandapakaraju]

I bought an Evo-X MR. I live in Australia. It was my dream since 2007. I've seen your review about a 100 times... and boy your right about Bending the earth to my will. I love the interior because I've never owned a new car always had a junkyard car hehehe so im immune to the interior review... But when I test drove the GOLF - R I felt it was better.

[@offroadfreak]

this is my favorite car. EVO is the best. one day im definitely gonna buy one.

[@MattSR20]

I see the like button but were is the LOVE button!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cant wait till i get my own evo!

[@dragkid185]

@EverydayDriver I really like the spoiler on the GSR but want the MR for its gearbox. Is there anyway I could get that spoiler on the MR from the dealer/factory?

[@youanddatb]

This car kills the STI hands down!!! I love it it's just that amazing!!!

[@reving4ever]

What an amazing car, you dont see it around, and it just looks insanley aggresive, damn!

[@GreenBoiler]

I just bought my MR about 2 months ago and I still watch this video once a week. Can't wait for the MR video. "Evo X is more like buying 80% of a GTR for 1/2 the cost".

[@amessad]

Great job !!!!!

[@Ishchattha]

have you guys done a head to head comparison of the evo and the wrx sti?

[@TopBike2009]

I want one...no wait, I need one!

[@GwenCoonen]

man i need this car ...snow is now pilling up to the 40cm..an evo would be loads of fun ! x-)

[@RUSSIAN7MAFIA]

i love your reviews .. you guys are straight up and simple.. just what we're looking for.. price, performance, would you get it? pretty much answers the questions we have because every other review has all the specs that we already know.... anyways.. im in a situation where i dont know what i want more..a 2013 mustang GT trackpack/premium package or... camaro 1ss rs.. or simple evolution gsr :/ help? i love the bad ass v8 sound..and always been a fan of 6 speed ..but then gsr is more practical

[@dhillskier75]

@ikra is top gear usa in production and airing? what channel is it on?

[@reddragun3]

when is the review for the EVO MR? i can't wait... thanks!

[@JZXKenny]

"You can have the time of your life while terrifying everyone that you love." lol!

[@civiclsi15]

@EverydayDriver Have you guys driven the TCC SST the MR version if yes how fast is it compared to the Mazda MPS 3 , I have heard some people say its slow... in the GSR review you mentioned the acceleration is like "if you shotguned a beer" do you get the same feeling for the MR? like getting pushed in the seat feeling?

[@TravisConover]

I love this car. But the MR touring is an awesome mixture of EVO power and ferocity, with a touch of civility and class... I want one NOWW!!!

[@vanoscrap]

Surprised me, excellent show! O_O

[@twistedtoobe]

i like this review.

[@ParallelSnail]

@EverydayDriver I've noticed with 90% of vehicles, if you're running stick shift you can get a lot more power out of the vehicle in the end. Is the Evo X an exception to this rule with it's paddle shifters? When driving my Hyundai Genesis, I often do well on a track because I can near the red-line before I shift thus getting the most power out of it's pulls. Can you get the maximum performance out of the X's paddle-shifters, or will it not let you reach near the red-line?

[@ParallelSnail]

@EverydayDriver How does the Evo X stack up against the 2011 WRX STi? I've found both for about the same price, but which is more powerful performance-wise, or responds better to engine modifications? I have some people saying the Evo is better, while others telling me to get the STi. Which do you think would make the better track car?

[@GetSomeHomeBoy1]

can you get the full evo with 360hp in the USA?

[@salchipapa8000]

@EverydayDriver regarding what you said about reliability, what would be some of the things you think i would need to do within the first year ? check for turbo leaks ? change tires ? oil changes more than often ? and also, i heard that the EVO X eats a lot of gas on the freeway because its only a 5 speed and doing cruising speeds down the highway, it revs to high

[@madeinph]

"it bends the earth to its will" --> sold!

[@sushh1]

wow nice review.

[@JohnsonBarry]

As an owner may be I can answer a few questions. I have an 08 gsr and it's been super reliable/the most fun car I've driven. As far as upkeep goes, stock tires cost nearly $400 each and are great for track, awful in snow. You will need to replace the clutch after an average of about 30k miles depending on how it's driven and you will need a clutch master cylinder replacement when you Change said clutch. Other then that it's bulletproof, and it takes to mods just as well if not better then IX's.

[@sspope]

@Massaen1 How did it smash the Lambo?

[@EverydayDriver]

@iXetsuei - We called the Evo Boring? The guys love this car and it's in Todd's current top 5 (See our FAQ #2). It's not luxurious, but it's far from boring.

[@ChristewieTV]

Evo for life. Perfect for the Northeast where I live.

[@ParallelSnail]

@EverydayDriver Alright, thank you very much for both your time and your input. Now I just have one last question. Do you know if the EVO X responds as well to high powered engine mods as the previous Evo IX? I remember hearing the IX was easily tuned for low cost and made extremely formidable in all types of racing.

[@monstercameron]

"THE evo does not corner well...does...not...corner...well...it bends the earth to its will" the most epic quote ive heard in a while

[@mooseling1]

I live in the UK so lots of very twisty country roads, with a speed limit of 60 mph. Not that i have ever seen police or a speed camera on these roads anyway.... And i am thinking of getting the evo x, and i am still to arrange a test drive but i would just like to know how uncomfortable the car is to drive long distances in? Also what sort of fuel efficiency were you getting?

[@EverydayDriver]

@TheFernandotorres17 - Don't worry... if you can't get one right away, you can get one eventually! If you can afford the insurance as a first car, good for you... but the Evo is a LOT of car for someone's first vehicle. Thanks for watching!

[@iHsg16]

i actually like this review

[@Gerbilinacage]

How does it compare to the STI?

[@buildmorefarms100]

I own a 2011 EVO GSR, it is all that they said and much more!
