Why the Lancer Evolution X is the best Evo | In-Depth Review, Technical Details, Drive | JDM Masters

[@Radiioactiivoo]

I was saving up to buy my evo x but when the virus hit the USA and everything went down i lost my job and i was forced to used my savings to survive the first quarantine now all my savings are gone i am working thankfully but i barely made money to pay my bills and food hope everything ends soon and everything goes to normal that way i can save up again to buy this car one day

[@jmr6117]

Estelio Konto it will come that day when you get your dream carr..best of luck for you !...

[@ronikarell4877]

damn USA doesen't have any kind of social service that gives money in these tough times? I hope you will get that evo on your garage someday!

[@vtrs813]

Im in the same boat, started my small business couple years ago and it went smooth till covid hit and everything went down hill.. had enough save up for a house and a evo x, my dream car! Sadly i had to use %80 of my savings to keep my business alive.. im afraid that i cannot avoid the inevitable in the few months.

[@klfkenshin]

Ive loved this car since highschool (evo ix)... got my first evo 2 years ago. 2015 Evo X gsr. Cannot be more in love. You MUST experience the car you've been wanting forever because it will NOT disappoint when it's in your driveway. I still do double takes at my car when I'm walking away from it...sexy af. Keep at it man, pandemic hit hard, market will crash again, then buy up all those discount stocks and continue the path to be a proud evo owner! They ain't making anymore, the legacy will die with us!

[@georgearmerding]

What a downer. 🙄

[@MissKay1994]

One of the things people also don't realize about the 4G63, is that it's an incredibly old engine Mitsubishi had been using for 26 years back in 2007. This is an engine they designed and built for Group 4 rally and then beefed up over the years. There's no doubt they decided they can make a better lighter engine for the Lancer Evolution X

[@motuc_fan_vic]

The best Evo X review I’ve ever watched. And I’ve watched a LOT. Cheers from an Evo X owner/fan from Lima,Perú

[@georgewest7406]

Do you have real Evo ? Because most lancer owners in Perú things they have an evo but its a basic lancer with evo badge ...

[@empmusic8312]

Just bought my EVO X about 2 weeks ago, before that I’d be playing this video for months. Thank you for motivating me to work hard man, being able to actually drive it feels like heaven!

[@james9032]

I’ve owned an Evo 8 and now an Evo X GSR. I am really loving the X and it’s more modern features. Too bad so many 4G63 Evo die hards never got it. Thanks for the review, just fantastic!

[@jasechen723]

I am in my 50s. I am a collector of Hondas. Eg6, ek9, dc5r...and one day...I purchased a 2008 lancer EX ( CVT) as a daily...and driving it was great...lt felt solid, stable and the thought occured to me that I should try the Evo X. As luck would have it, I snagged a Evo X Final Edition with a heavy discount from the dealer. And I started selling all my Hondas in my collection. Omg, the driving of an Evo X is indescribable. It goes where you point it to...Since JDM Masters revealed that the AWD system runs using Canbus, I am beginning to appreciate the Evo X's instantaneous response ...and understand now why the Evo X's exceptional handling is so underrated.

[@MethmalDhananjaya]

Well Evo X doesnt has 4G63, so.

[@kobedabest]

@@MethmalDhananjaya no one gives a shit about the 4G63. 4B11 takes mods better and anything over 500hp you would need support mods for both. 🤷🏻

[@confinez555]

They hated Automatic Evo while GTR R35 also have dual clutch but they didnt hate the GTR? hmmm...I dont care what the social says. We care what our hearts say. Underrated video, Underrated Car. Gotta agree for me evo x is my best option if im looking for a evo for jack of all trades

[@johnbarron2698]

I truly believe the Evo X was made to be the most sophisticated and more of a daily driver than any Evo made. All Evos before it were really raw out of the box. The Evo X may have been different than all evos before it but it was literally the latest evolution of all evos before it

thank you for the great video. as an owner of EVO X SST, I really proud of what I have and will continue to use the car.

[@becomeraptureready]

I agree, the X is the best Evo. Not only that, the X is the best sedan ever made.

[@gsalien2292]

The ONLY time that I ever truly thought a horrible crash was imminent in my Evo X was in a winter monsoon in the North Carolina mountains.....pouring rain, near freezing temperatures, cold asphalt, steep incline with very short apex dropping into a severe right hand curve.....at over 100 mph. Evo's S.A.W.D. definitely saved the day! Had I been in the 09 M3, I probably wouldn't be telling this story. Great video!

[@Raven-uu7lb]

LanEvo 6 is the best Evo I've ever seen. But the Evo 8 is the best Evo I've ever driven. Didn't have a chance to drive the LanEvo 9 and 10 yet but I'm sure they're powerful and handle well.

The Evo X is a great looking car in its own right. It’s design was amazing for 2007. And even if it doesn’t have the 4g63 the 4b11 is still a great engine and it’s cool that Mitsubishi was trying something new.

Buying an Evo was always a goal of mine and when it came time to buy one, I ended up getting an Evo X. I still do love the way the 8 & 9 look over the X by a bit but the more up to date interior and technology is something that persuaded me for long term.

@@ndreyah1160 I used to own a 370z and I’ve owned two X’s. Evo wins hands down. Loved my Z but it’s just not on the same level.

[@dondada6496]

Great car. I've owned the Evolution, Evo II, Evo V, and Evo X. The X is by far the best feel, engine, handling, and aesthetics. I hear arguments from guys who have never owned an Evo or owned or driven only one model. Their argument is quite weak. I currently have Vs and Xs. I also have the X Final Concept if you're interested in doing a story on it. Surprisingly no one really knows about the Final Concept. Then again, it's a one-of-one.

[@dybixs1400]

As an EVO owner, you would agree that the EVO III, V, IX and X are the best evos from their generations? You are a really lucky man to be able to have such great machines, evos are my dream cars and I hope someday I will be able to have at least 1 evo in my garage. Big respect 👊

[@captainobvious9188]

I had an EVO X, but then our third kid turned out to be twins so I had to move to a minivan. It was my favorite car. I previously had a 1998 Impreza 2.5RS, 2003 350Z, then a 2008 EVO X GSR. A lot of people dislike the AYC, but I liked it. It wasn't reactive like all the rest of the driver-aids when it came out, it was indeed active and easy to predict and use.

Great video, thanks! What a great book....is there an English version available? I loved my Evo 10 which I kept as a trackday car. The faster I went the better it was! It was pretty obvious that Mitsubishi spent its money on the mechanical and go fast bits. The interior left a lot to be desired, but the performance was amazing, The people who bought them weren't too worried about the interior!

I had a 9 running 450hp now have an X running 400hp yes the 9 was faster in a straight line .. but the chassis on the X is A LOT better.. a well mapped X on some fancy high end coilovers like Ohlins are ridiculously good to drive hard .. I’ve drove 911 turbos ,Ferrari and a gallardo.. and for shear thrills my X bosses them all 👌👍

[@purrwow]

Evo has been my dream car for sooo long! I finally was able to buy one! I'm in love. Mine makes around 450whp right now & I can't wait to put the work in to make it my true dream beast😊

[@dregarage]

Truly an under appreciated and over-engineered masterpiece from Mitsubishi! While there are more hardcore Evos, the X captures the dna of all the older gens while still keeping up with the times and regulation changes. As an owner myself I feel that it is something people overlook due to the more boy racer looks of Evos 5-9

I'm from Portugal and I have an Evo X for about 3 years. It's a fantastic car! Great review, I loved hearing everything in detail from start to finish. Keep going with the channel!

[@SilverScarletSpider]

05:24 Funny you say that because against most conventions the 10th generation base model Honda Civic was developed around their Type R performance model in mind first, and then adapted into the Civic Si and base. At least, that’s what a couple promotional marketing materials and interviews seemed to indicate during the 10th generation’s launch.

[@charles2241]

I have a 2012 GT, and yes, built like a tank. The trunk area behind the back sets is really the look of sturdy. About three years ago, I hit a curb that jutted out in the middle of the road for no good reason and my car hit it at approximately 45MPH, going airborne in the process. As far as we've been able to determine, all the damage I got was a slightly warped wheel. I'm still running everything stock, so I haven't replaced the shock absorbers, springs, etc. Frame is in tip-top condition.

But it is tough finding an Automatic or Semi-Auto vehicle that is realistically affordable. But these have really caught my eye. I have always been an EVO fan in general. That SST trans really perked my ears right up. It will take me a long time to save up, but this is my new realistic dream car. I hope there are some nice ones left by the time I can save up 25k.
