Harry Tran THEY'RE GONNA BRING IT BACK ITS CALLED MITSUBISHI E EVOLUTION.

[@Hose1.3]

mitsubishi is stupid ending the evo, eclipse, 3k , and now eclipse is a suv...

[@iangabrielabarsosa4045]

evolution is now e-Evolution (Electric Hybrid SUV)

[@OriginalCovfefe]

jose sanchez nah we could do without the eclipse. But by getting rid of the 3K and Evo, def a revenue suicide....

[@zoerhoden2490]

@@OriginalCovfefe they didn't have any money so they had to let but now since they got little more buckaroo im hearing rumors they might bring it back either hatchback 👎🏽 or 4 door sedan we just have to wait 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@OriginalCovfefe]

Zoe Rhoden better be 4-door sedan. The evo was fucking awesome! Subie killers

[@Fitforacting]

But what if they brought it back out next year??.....

[@Speedaholics]

Wish they didn't stop making it

[@damienf01]

Speedaholics Right! Such a shame it didn't live on :(

[@3ddee155]

Speedaholics ikr

[@jtkent28]

Speedaholics mitsu is going all profits now by just making cheap shit tons of "normal" people want. Lifeless compacts & hovercraft SUV's from now on. Shame.

[@future62]

Not as much as they wish people didn't stop buying it :)

[@PumpUPdaBase]

They sold the same car from 2008 to 2015. You had 8 years to buy one. I'm sorry as good as it was, it's time to go.

[@domwash24]

2015 evo: let me copy your homework 2008 evo: sure just change it a little 2015 evo: no

[@lancermafia1982]

dominik 23 This makes no fucking sense

[@socialdegenerates904]

Lancer Mafia yes it does

[@lancermafia1982]

Tyler Boyd how

[@socialdegenerates904]

Lancer Mafia both cars are damn near exactly the same.

[@lancermafia1982]

Tyler Boyd TF you talking about is isnt damn near the same, it is the fucking same. What the same person ask themselves if they want to copy their homework.

[@spoolin4banger574]

Why in the fuck would they stop making the best selling car in their lineup ? Jesus Christ these companies never learn

[@chrismccullough5107]

I always liked the EVO when I was younger...Always looked unique and had good HP....

[@f80.drewskis]

I just bought a brand new 2015 Evo MR about a month ago. Best decision ever. I was looking at Final Editions and they are marked up anywhere from $5000-$10000 which is crazy. The used market for GSRs are crazy with a 2014 GSR with 20k miles going for 30k-33k and a new MR going for about 34k-38k. Brings a smile to my face every time and I just hit 1300 miles.

[@6MetaL6Core6]

I love my FE evo, it's such a once in a lifetime experience owning this car that I think everyone should consider renting one at least to see what it's all about. I don't remember if you mentioned that this FE evo carries over the shocks from the MR, they are awesome!

[@badomen8262]

Finally experienced what he's telling about. The car is a corner demon; absolutely amazing

[@Angryeddie14]

Damn, I felt like I was gunna cry at the end. Hopefully one day I can own this great machine.

[@killerpotater2734]

you can tell he is a car enthusiast. love your reviews man keep it up!

[@isitfast2067]

its amazing what these cars do with simply getting an exhaust and tune.Becomes like a completely different car from what ive seen

[@zion175]

Enthusiast don't buy the cars they claim to like.

[@JesusEsDios007]

because they dont have the money. I bought the evo fe but sold it already

[@corrosivedevourer]

Edison Widener why you sell it so quick?

[@JesusEsDios007]

bought it new in cash, felt it was too much money on a car and i was paranoid about door dings and rock chips and resale value, I took it to the track and enjoyed it. I sold itbefore the end of the year because i didnt want to get hit with depreciation. Cars are not an investment only very few are. Now I own a miata which i can afford to total or whatever, park wherever. I feel much better

[@corrosivedevourer]

Edison Widener that's true, I agree. I'd rather buy a fun affordable car that will not break the bank and save the 40grand or so and invest it towards owning property

[@gdiesel3151]

Edison Widener I'm a little late on this reply but man you nailed it on the head. I bought a WRX Limited, came out to $36k. I couldn't even enjoy the car always worrying about dings in parking lots and chips etc. Ended up trading it in less than a year later and leased a civic instead. I have my supersport on the side for when I want my speed kicks.

[@monfrancaisaccount69monfra8]

Very sad way to say goodbye to a legend

[@ZaruWataa]

8:31 thank me later

[@MamboItalian5]

THANK YOU!! Good god this guy

[@staggeredhorizons3657]

hahaha infamous reactions

[@ForeverKing23]

OozaruTv reminded me of the last Honda Civic reaction lol

[@alifff841]

thank bos.. 👍

[@vndrew3810]

U dirty dog thnx

[@Drrck11]

I feel like I'm watching the Logan movie seeing the final Evo.

[@detour9170]

You think Mitsubishi is done? In the car world maybe, in the rest of the world, not even close. Mitsubishi Group had a 2015 Revenue of over $500 Billion that's more than VW Group and Ford Motor Company Combined. Yeah they're pulling back from the auto industry but everyone knows the money is in the Military Industrial Complex, and the U.S Marines are looking to purchase Amphibious vehicles from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. I don't even have a Mitsubishi. Class Dismiss.

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Mitsubishi motors is a independent subsidiary though, it has nothing to do with the parent company other than from time to time they have had to inject more cash into them to keep them going. Mitsubishi Motors is I think, doing OK now though, because they are now concentrating on pumping out rubbish cars at cheap prices for people who don't care.

[@michaeldeadwyler4034]

they sold some stocks to nissan

[@lallygaber]

We all know this. Mitsubishi isn't going anywhere. Doesn't change the fact that they're car brand has become absolute trash since the days of the 3000GT and the Eclipse GS/GS-T/GSX. The Lancer and the EVO were the only thing keeping them relevant and special. Now they're just another Crossover manufacturer.

[@FunkkyPanda69]

Thanks Professor Google!

[@buildmorefarms1007]

Even the final edition 2015 beats the 2017 STi. More hp per liter with a smaller motor in the EVO, better handling than the Sti also. Amazing product even without many updates.

[@esho6460]

Awesome been waiting on this one. Great review as always thanks for sharing with us ! 😁

[@wtDrake]

For a 2008 car, these still look good. Something to be admired about that

[@chairrules2007]

It is really funny how the front end of the Subaru WRX now looks very much like this Mitsubishi. The front seats look very similar also !

[@mckinneyproductions2595]

finally an evo that looks good. I want one of these!!! I want a manual but need my broken hand to heal first...

[@Montblanc1986]

As a final edition owner I have a deep love for this car, my 3rd Evolution! I'm so happy that you delivered an honest review, the handling is the best in the segment and very easy to drive. Thank you!

[@blackops2isreallybad]

Kazak Thranduil what were your other two? & which one was your favorite and why? 👍🏽

[@Montblanc1986]

blackops2isreallybad 2008 MR (first year) very good car I sold it early because I was scared of the gearbox but the SST is actually really durable. Then a GSR great car, better center stack storage being a base model! The. The FE it's the best blend for sure. I miss recaro seats but the FE seats aren't bad seats, just not as sporty as what the car can do. The AWD system is still the most advanced you can get today. If you like handling this is the car. Turn in feel is what a drivers car is about and this can't be beat unless you spend major $$

[@petermach2581]

I've driven a lot of high end cars Ferrari, AMG, BMW, GTR. I even own a AMG. Nothing handles like the Evo X does. My 2008 MR SST still kicking no issue. You just need to change the trans oil more regular than the manual suggest. Every 20k

[@danieljordannicol9937]

Well done Will Young, this along with the ever green song you did are two of my favourites!

[@revans4257]

i really like the side camera angle you used in this video (from passenger seat). i havent seen many people do that and I think it looks very good for this type of video

[@imdumdums]

'I really hope one day the evo will return'. This keeps repeating in my mind. I hope so too.

[@jayyoo90]

Weirdly, there's a USB port in the glove box lol

[@k3ntastik]

Darek M my mom's 2012 ford focus has one there lol

[@mikenice1204]

Darek M b8 s4 don't have a USB port it's an ami port

[@joemomma7161]

I have a 2014 evo x gsr. This whole time I thought I didn't have a USB. I'll check tomorrow morning "lol

[@mikenice1204]

Darek M I actually use the glove box connection for a Bluetooth transponder because my 2011 b8 s4 can't steam music from my phone which I hate

[@jayyoo90]

Joe Momma enjoy your newfound USB lol

[@jeddcuison6424]

I have an evo x fe and all i can say is you are dead on with what you said about it. Excellent review! I find your reviews very informative and now after watching this I'm adding "very accurate" as well can't wait for you to review the Type R. 😀

[@mr.meeseeks9802]

Damn ive been trying to get a Forza Edition Evo since horizon 3☹😂😂😂

[@kelkrst3129]

i was looking at one of these b4 I bought my 17 fiesta st..such a bad ass car! if the price wasnt so high id have got it in a heartbeat

[@TheRealestEric]

The Lancer is my favorite car. It's such a damn shame they stopped making them... RIP Mitsubishi. :[

[@finesse7sixo952]

i test drove one, the clutch point is crazy high lol took me by surprise since my honda Si catches fairly low

[@Menalix]

I'm going to buy one which is a non-finale then. Its been my dream car for so long, and they are affordable to normal ppl like me now, I can't wait to grab one.

[@charlestran7309]

I hope some day they'll bring the evo back

[@goff840]

USB is in the glovebox. It's there keep looking lol

[@LawrenceTimme]

If they made a new one it would be a diesel eco hybrid anyway so it's fine that it died with a proper engine :D

[@seppoz2202]

Lawrence Timme *full electric :D

[@mikeuchiha5972]

Lawrence Timme who likes diesel hybrids anyways not me

[@koceme]

why does this makes me a little bit better?

[@eriksantoso1741]

Well hybrid at least there is ICE

[@paulfairchild8942]

Love the Evo. May well have bought one instead of the 2015 WRX that is parked in my garage if they had not discontinued them. Such a shame. For the $$$, it was one of the fastest and best handling cars you could buy.

[@elvergudo8149]

Paul Fairchild u can still trade your 15 we for an evo. I did. lol

[@paulfairchild8942]

Elver Gudo, nice!!!

[@cobra454tim]

I believe the knob is on the right because that car is based off of right hand drive car therefore when converting it to left hand they're saving money basically.

[@777aterial]

I think the USB that is missing is in the glovebox. There should be a little flip tab for it.

[@ljessecusterl]

I agree with you. You have to experience an EVO to "get it." It's a very different experience from driving a WRX/STI. It's so raw and the X seems to bend the laws of physics in a different way from the VIII/IX. Just hoping my brother can get his oiling problem figured out so he can take advantage of the MAP turbo and O2 dump pipe/straight pipe exhaust he's got fitted to his '08. Then he can actually beat my dad's cammed/bolt-on IX.

[@TonyEG6]

ljessecusterl Yep the x just handles ridiculously well. The grip is just crazy. Especially when you throw on some wider stickier tyres the car will pretty much outperform everything

[@LegendInThaMakin]

JDMteggy everything?

[@TonyEG6]

LegendInThaMakin only thing beating an evo x back when it came out was Supercars and ultra light weight cars like lotuses. Use some logic American

[@LegendInThaMakin]

JDMteggy use logic? You used the word "everything", which lead me to believe that you meant it's the best handling car on the planet. Either way, even back then the m3 would smoke it.

[@TonyEG6]

LegendInThaMakin no it wouldn't sorry. My evo was consistently coming in too 10 in auto cross and time attack with a field of 200 plus cars. The only cars in top 10 were evos lotuses and Supercars with a few open wheelers. Not even r34 gtrs keep up. M3 haha maybe on a drag race. The e92 is a pig

[@bigdog91paper]

I'm a Subaru fanboy, I drive a WRX. I was sad to see it go because I loved the competition, forcing Subaru to innovate and improve a bit in the class. Now it seems Ford is stepping into that role to fill Mitsu's vacancy.

[@aseeds7785]

Ford's out too so perhaps honda or toyota.

[@harvardford8752]

How I’ve missed this car so much. I’ll probably never own a new one ever. My dream car ;-;

[@anonymus-ob2uy]

no recaro's on a final edition evo come on mitsubishi should have provided those beautiful seats

[@Trades46]

The saddest departure other than the Evo itself is the vaunted Mitsubishi S-AWC system. That is the "Secret sauce" of the Evo's handling and remains the most advanced on-road performance AWD system ever conceived by man; true helical mechanical slip diffs at the front & center along with the clutch-actuated AYC torque vectoring rear-diff that makes the GKN Twinster on the Focus RS, Torsen of the Impreza STI and even the ATTESA-ETS of the GT-R look mundane in comparison.

[@blue24boi]

I agree with you i drove a 2014 MR when i was a porter for chevy in 2018 and back then i didnt know what it was just knew it was fast but i took it to deliver some papers to someone and it was unlike anything in the corners the way its power band was so agressive the paddle shifters to stay in the power range, it felt like it was on rails it just pulls out of corners like it felt special even compared to my 2007 wrx later on

[@jbiv1971]

9:10 You act like you were flying down the road as the Chevy Camaro passes you! lol

[@ukaszgotszald1475]

nobody race in a car presented for sale, you idiot

[@jordanalebron1237]

Jay Biv dude don't you ever tried to compare a fucking camaro to a legendary EVO!!!

[@lancermafia1982]

jordan A Lebron123 This is concrete proof that all the GTR kids are starting to like Evos cause Evos are dead and dead cars are cool so no other car can be as cool.

[@joesmoe8983]

jordan A Lebron123 Yeah bitch🤨

[@potatochobit]

what do you think, is a low mileage final edition worth the extra 15,000$ over a used 80,000 mile GSR? manual only, of course.

[@elvergudo8149]

The USB jack is in the dumbed place. inside the glove compartment, on top, yup, on top.

[@hristoplamenov1942]

I think that the fact they left the old exterior is better, because I would enjoy driving 3-4 years old Lancer 8 or 9 nowadays with changed interior, motor and gadgets only. It's just an amazing design!

[@ThatsDT]

What should I look out for when I’m buying an used evo x/mr/gsr ?

[@ryanh5712]

wow I'd love driving one then.. I love 240sx clutch feels, but I want front wheel 4wd bias so no matter how rainy it gets on the sad streets of oahu taking an on/off ramp or a 90* intersections soaking wet I'll never be able to let the rear end go the way RWDs easily get it done

[@oldblood_eyes]

I had to check if the speed was normal and not sped up because of how fast he talks at the beginning

[@MrSpacecow101]

There's a USB jack in the glove box. It's above, I had a hard time finding it.

[@leslie7872]

My dad works for Mitsubishi in the Automotive Department and he always tells me, "Wait until the re-birth of the 3000GT VR-4! All wheel drive, 4 wheel steering, 3.6 Litre V6 Twin Turbo engine pushing out 560 horse power at 8,500RPM. It'll be 1,580kg with active aero and a decent interior!"

[@salsathe4th]

Wish they would just come out with an EVO 11. It would probably save their dying company. EVO X is outdated and only has exterior designs and a nice engine going for it.

[@luiggisebastiani9786]

I read that Nissan is making the Evo 11

[@nikos3330]

Luiggi Sebastiani where?

[@itsajoke631]

Luiggi Sebastiani stop lying you little bitch.

[@nikos3330]

Workout Baby yeah this could not be real. because nissan has infinity and not lancer or anything other. i think they cant think of anything new soo that is why we are losing it. im sure that in futur we will get another one, maybe in 20 years like nsx. we will see 😊

[@itsajoke631]

Nikos yeah good car always come back! Soon evo will also be known as one of the legendary car.

[@jeremyjmontoya]

Matt, the evo has a usb jack kinda hidden i the top of the glove box compartment. Good video though. thanks.

[@Fitforacting]

@10:39 Matt, you should do a video on what the “Secret Sauce” is after driving so many other cars. Is it suspension mixed with the chassis and how they designed it? I know these Cars are so heavy. Let us know if you can and have time. Even on a Live

[@17736tja]

Bad ass intro brotha! 👍🏼👀

[@ToeKneey0]

One of the GOATS

[@jonescolej]

Thanks for reviewing the Evo X and the the 2002 Camaro!

[@speedfiend925]

One of the guys from Everyday Driver said about the Evo during his review when describing the grip, "It's like the tires are kneading the road!" :D

[@Omagerod]

This Chanel is growing pretty fast

[@tashinorbu3454]

I am planning to buy new ride next year after my deployment. I like evo but I also like new m3 and gt350. Anyone suggestions from previous owner?

[@AngeloR674]

I recently just had a '14 evo mr in grey so sad to see it go

[@FPsGameFreak]

Those seats remind me of my mom's corolla.

[@lilhazardx2435]

Noticed in your lists you marked no usb Jack but it does have one it's hidden in the glove box.

[@JesseCarmichaelAutos]

I'm not happy about removing the Recaros

[@williamjohn2057]

Me too bro

[@Beach5and]

The USB jack is in the glovebox.

[@AndiSadeedSaid]

3:30 The head unit is for right side driver as for Japan, but installed on American car.. Same goes to many 3rd party head units from China, the knob is on the left side. We in Malaysia driver on right as Japan, gets oddly head unit from China.. 🤩

[@Pobs81]

Does the final edition have a different engine than previous generations?

[@kbmrlvids]

I hate how he doesn't put a camera at the back to here the exhaust when he starts the car

[@Willow5673]

I'm surprised they never put in a stock boost gauge:( or any type of gauges

[@anklezyt2094]

there is a usb jack its inside the glove box for some reason on the top

[@Arsing116]

The USB is in the glove box towards the top!

[@pontiacslut]

got a 2017 lancer es base put a axleback exhaust onit with hhk mufllers 17 inch 5spoke black foose wheels with pirellie performance tires

[@Jeff-uq7iu]

Anyone know the hp rating for these, I ran one the other day, the guy said it was just over 400. But I left at around 10# of boost and he never came close to catching me

[@Autofire80]

Love my FE, bought it earlier this week and I make excuses to go out and drive it.

[@dinosoarbutts14]

I never saw why the MR got so much hate? I personally had both a GSR and a MR and I can say that the MR was far better than the GSR

[@akull6215]

The Evo has been around in the USA since 2003 or so, and that was the Evo 8th gen. The Lancer Evo has been around since the early nineties, and has only been in the states since 2003.

[@sixstrz8310]

Design never gets old to me:)

[@JurisKankalis]

We have two mitsus in the house - one is one of my cars, a 2004 Lancer wagon, it has NO SQUEEKS OR RATTLES in the interior. Nada. Zero. Naught. 240 000 kms. The seocond one is a 2005 Colt, 90 000 kms. the lower part of the center dashboard rattles. So Lancer interiors do not rattle or wobble.

[@Fitforacting]

I would still want an Evo 9 over this. But stuck on whether I would want an MR or not. Probably not MR because I want Manual! 🤩🤩🤩

[@DirtyDan6T9]

Planning on getting a 2015 Evo FE, I test drove one today, 3rd gear was tough to put in, get like it had a safety or guide to protect from the money shift. I heard it could be bad synchros in the tranny. Anybody have any input?

[@matthewfrancucci3870]

Even tho I'm a Subaru WRX STI fan... I still shed a tear when I heard Mitsubishi was going to stop making them

[@usman5279]

thanks for the review

[@TheRealKalEll]

U heard it" the GREATEST THING about the car were it's, lol, Racaro SEATS". Not the motor, body, sound, roll, acceleration, no. It was someone else's seats. Awesome car, awesome show !!!!!!!!!!! 🍻

[@yeezus850]

What's a faster car this evo or a v6 camaro or mustang?

[@KERBROES]

Glad I bought that evo 9

[@RosewaterYasin]

400k? really? you guys deserve more than 15 mil

[@eyoy4revs]

I just dont get it evo x weight and hyundai genesis 3.8 are almost the same.. But when Roman talks about hyundai genesis 3.8 he always says its so heavy but the genesis has 45hp more.. I just dont get it... Hmmmmm

[@lrgman1313]

How do you say subaruwrxfan so fast it's literally cray cray

[@MSaucedo760]

Well isn't the Evo more front wheel biased...? Like 80% to the front and 20% to the back wheels ?

[@veyso32]

Do they sell the Mitsubishi Triton Ute series in the States? Their really popular & great value! in Australia.

[@downunderexploits4349]

Quite possibly the most beautiful sight of the recent times...the EVO X that is.

[@OwenGTA]

RIP Evo. Missed but never forgotten.

[@flintlights]

I could've bought an Evo X last month, but I ended up getting an FR-S. I test drove and saw 3 Evo's, but damn, the money the people were asking for plus insurance was killing me slowly. Hopefully, once after I play off the FR-S in 2 years, I'll get the Evo I've always wanted. If I only had the money, sigh.

[@corrosivedevourer]

flintlights the reason why I didn't get the evo is because of insurance premiums I would be paying! it would be as much as another car payment lol

[@9694angel1]

USB port in glove compartment bro

[@killersushi99]

Here I am in the future riding around in my Evo 11.......What? You thought they wouldn't bring it back?

[@1800_iameli]

Are any of the Mitsubishi Lancers automatic?

[@LordCarth]

Can you do a 2005 Nissan Altima 2.5s sedan review brother?

[@ChaseN194]

this will be the car i miss the most. such a shame nissan isnt planning on bringing back mitsubishi motorsports/ralliart
