I just bought an Evo 6 GSR bone stock with 80k km in scotia white. I am so excited for it to arrive. As you said they are pricey (but well worth it) + the US import tax hasnt effected the Evo 6 as much as the 5 yet, but it will soon. In the mean time im soaking up all the reviews on the CP9A chassis Evo's. And your video is without a doubt one of the best! Thanks.
Great review, that is a very nice example of an EVO V! I like all the EVO variants even though I owned Subaru turbos! I must admit though, the ones that captured my imagination the most were the Evo V and the Evo V1 Tommy Makinen edition ones. I remember a certain NZ car mag had a black EVO V on its cover when it came out and I was mesmerised. They were not cheap back in 1998 or whatever the year was either. As I had bugger all money, that only added to the allure, they were unobtainable to me back then. Now I am in Australia, I can't recall even seeing one, so rare as hens teeth here. Keep up the great vids mate!
This video just gave me confidence. Evos are fetching a stark premium currently, and I found one clean for 14k US. But it had 203k km. This car being still healthy and beautiful at 240k that's the validation I needed I got a good car that'll bring smiles for years to come.
@@MrCrackedGuy Congrats. I hope you have a boat load of fun. Was it a UK spec one or was it imported? Does it have the fog light in the rear bumper or is one attached on top?
I got an evo iv it has 151000km and it is in the same condition absolutely beautiful car to drive and sound even better since putting the invidia exhaust on it
e5 hands down my favourite. Used to be 4 in the late 90s from Jap video games. Parents bought a CE 99 lancer new... and had a soft spot for the e5! Gotta love the factory temp gauges - something you appreciate more after your first track day
@@KiwiCarLife Oh god yes. Also I’m just wondering if you’d like to review my 2006 Touareg v6 tdi with air suspension? It’s all original and I’m the third private owner. It would be an honour for my car to feature on your channel :)
Evo always have the greatest look in evo 5-6 era. The visuals represent the performance we get. Without livery or modifications. Just from a slight glance we know how this car will run and it delivers exactly what we expect even more. Sad mitsubishi will never revive their performance lineup until theres a need for performance cars rising again like in 80-90s
Yep, Renault bought out nissan and mitsi and they promptly turned to shit, every model scrapped and replaced with absolute cvt piss poor junk. Toyota got lazy into reliable cars, and with everyone else gone and their massive usa market Subaru got fat and lazy. Insane American and European "emissions" regulations killed off all the development and forward momentum.
@@KiwiCarLife 'Definitely Much Faster' ??? Stock for stock they should be near equal in performance, STI probably seems faster due to the punchiness & sound.
I know what you mean about the interior. I stepped into my friend's 2017 Lancer and thought to myself, did Mitsubishi put together the interior from the Dollar Store? Getting back into my 08 CL9 seemed like I stepped 10 years into the future compared to that.
Totally incomparable. Euro r has a much more zingy engine which I like, but also costs less than half as much so... I'm happy with my Euro R but see why people love these too
This was always my Gran Turismo car, as I thought the evo 5 looked the best I know you could get more power out the skylines but I didn’t care 😂 Would love to have one now, although could be a don’t meet your childhood hero’s type thing…. But completely agree the prices are a little extreme, In the U.K. a decent one will do you 25k+ My Cayman R would get me about 35 And I couldn’t give that up for such little money saving !
Yeah 50k is a bit steep although in that condition it's basically like a 2 year old car. Hard to find something that offers so much for that price, nothing in the last ten years comes close
I would disagree, there’s a lot of stuff you can get for similar money that’s a substantial upgrade. M3, RS4, newer Evos, STI’s, even an MPS6, newer fast euros. I mean each to their own but an evo 5 is pretty mediocre (in stock form) compared with modern cars
@@KiwiCarLifeOG Schafen has alot of cars, owned/bought over 50 cars i think or 20 but anyway he says the Evo V RS is the single best car he has ever had in EVERY way especially driving, and he has had Porsche Gt3Rs, Audi Rs6, Bmw M4 and alot more
@@KiwiCarLife But if he thinks its too much I am still interested because I think there is some validity to the point. I mean we are seeing all these heavy high horsepower cars. I´ve got amongst other cars a 40hp Renault Dauphine with a 4-speed manual and that is likely more fun to drive than many of the new cars :)
Perfect size car and perfect amount of power.
Yeessss
My favourite of the Evos. But dear goodness, this has got to be the cleanest I have ever seen. It's cleaner than the showroom floor.
Haha yeah mate a true privilege to film with
Now thats an appropriate wheel setup for an Evo!
Oh yeah!
The stance is off though, clearance in front is higher than back.
@@The_Noticer. like in all evos, V at least, that's what you get with a stock suspension
@@The_Noticer. That's how all standard Evo are if you done enough homework or even own an actual stock one.
@@israwangwongvivat1762 lmao imagine being such a sour individual as you...
Great car, the Evo's have always been a nice car to look at. Good vid.
Thanks

What a absolutely mint example this is! So pristine.
Absolutely man
What an amazing craftsmanship ❤❤
Mmm yes very nice
Great review! You deserve much more subs and views
Thanks!

Thanks man!
90s and early 2000s was the peak times for jap cars
For sure
Cars in general, perfect blend of development, homologation motorsport, and just enough technology. Great driver's cars with 3 pedals true sports cars

Oh yeah man it’s an old car but it’s still a Mitsubishi I’m sure you’ll love it
Mine lands in the US in March i can’t wait!
Epic! I suppose they are that age now aren't they
@@KiwiCarLife yessir actually importing mine from the UK that a gentleman was selling
@@MrCrackedGuy Congrats. I hope you have a boat load of fun. Was it a UK spec one or was it imported? Does it have the fog light in the rear bumper or is one attached on top?
The Evo 5 is the greatest of the evo's. The only one to win he drivers and manufacturers WRC title.
Good car
Nice Evo, good video. We need to see an LS460 review :p
Hahah it's coming man! Got so many on my plate atm
EVO 5 the sexiest EVO, absolutely love Adam LZ's EVO 5 and has made me want to buy one when time permits
Ooh yes lovely car
I got an evo iv it has 151000km and it is in the same condition absolutely beautiful car to drive and sound even better since putting the invidia exhaust on it
Very nice
_what an amazing car, thanks for reviewing it_ 👌🏼
All good!

Haha yep very cool huh
Awesome it even has a sunroof!
Ikr!
Have an evo v rs. Always smile when driving it 😂
Nice man!
Yessss!!!
Yuuuuurs
Always remember to put the microphone under the hood while driving, awesome video btw.
If you do that it just clips. Way too loud under there
Love the induction noise
Ooh yeah
Did you put a 90s effect on the filiming ? The part where you present the outside of the car
Nope
The owner has a great taste. Personally know him and this is immaculate
Yeah man Bryan is a legend
@@KiwiCarLife Oh god yes. Also I’m just wondering if you’d like to review my 2006 Touareg v6 tdi with air suspension? It’s all original and I’m the third private owner. It would be an honour for my car to feature on your channel :)
@@asrieldreemur1764 hah touareg...
Great review ❤ I want one. 😢 very pricey, usa getting them now
Ooh I imagine they wouldn’t be cheap. But very cool!
Damn, that evo is immaculate!
Ikr!
Awesome vid 👌
Thanks man!

Great video. Great car.
Thanks man
Times when cars were focused on driving beautiful designs
Absolutely
EMPEROR GOES VROOOOM
Yes
Is the process important a car from Japan worth it ?
Yeah for sure
18in Tarmac Evo’s are rare as rocking horse s*#t! I’d kill for a set of those
Mmm lovely wheels
Time for a Tme test drive.
Yes
BEST CAR EVER
Not ever, but very good
Glad to see you prefer my V3 STI 🙂
FYI its not actually tuned, completely factory power
Would be down to do a head to head with this Evo.
Oh true? I thought it was tuned. Definitely much faster than this evo then
@@KiwiCarLife No I just dyno'd it to see how much power it actually had but all factory drivetrain. Its also had a full rebuild since your vid.
@@KiwiCarLife 'Definitely Much Faster' ??? Stock for stock they should be near equal in performance, STI probably seems faster due to the punchiness & sound.
What is the tire profile ?
Unsure sorry, my guess would be 40-45 ish
Was this just for sale on Top Rank?
@@kiefercaplan5465 it has been for sale for a while now
I know what you mean about the interior. I stepped into my friend's 2017 Lancer and thought to myself, did Mitsubishi put together the interior from the Dollar Store? Getting back into my 08 CL9 seemed like I stepped 10 years into the future compared to that.
Yep absolutely man
Between Euro R and Evo 5, which one is better and more fun on your opinion?
Totally incomparable. Euro r has a much more zingy engine which I like, but also costs less than half as much so... I'm happy with my Euro R but see why people love these too
@@KiwiCarLife thank you man hi from north cyprus 👋👋
beautiful car
Indeed
This was always my Gran Turismo car, as I thought the evo 5 looked the best
I know you could get more power out the skylines but I didn’t care 😂
Would love to have one now, although could be a don’t meet your childhood hero’s type thing….
But completely agree the prices are a little extreme,
In the U.K. a decent one will do you 25k+
My Cayman R would get me about 35
And I couldn’t give that up for such little money saving !
Yeah the evos are super cool but so expensive atm
Did you really call out Mitsubishi for the fitment of an aftermarket gauge pod added by the owner?
The rest of the interior fitment is no better though!
Silver and yellow are the best colours for the V
Mmm yes agree
Love evo
Good car
My favorite genetion lancer evo,the evo 5 Is my favorite Mitsubishi car
Good vehicle
Thank you
Loving my Evo 5 Imported from Japan. Opened since 2015 till now and will pass on to my child. Unless my fiance gives them her 6. 😂
Awesome!

wow, naise~~ 👍
Thanks
Gran Turismo vibes
Yesss
At last, Mitsubishi. Please get on Galant/Legnum VR4.
Potentially
RIP Mitsubishi. Broke my heart when I heard Nissault had bought a 34% stake in them. Will never be able to trust the brand again.
Yeah since the 2000’s they definitely went downhill
Sad to think this class of car is on the out. Rally homologation cars are the best imo
Yeah man yaris gr is the only modern equivalent I guess
Have you driven an Evo 3 yet?
I have not
Imagine finding one of these at the same price as average SUV's , i found but don't have the money 😮💨
it even modified with HKS parts by previous owner, the fatal thing is i even forget how many miles driven on it.
Dang that's cool
They also eat transfer cases and diffs for breakfast 🤣
Lol
Only if you launch them all the time
Pure drivers car you better know how to drive properly and drive it near the edge like it was built for
Yeah I guess?
Time to get EARRAPE
HAHAH
Subie boys fear no evo
Hahah
Elmer Fudd
Yes
Of course it’s in Lower Hutt 😂
Yup
CHCH european have always been overpriced. My old audi was $10000 more there!
Haha lol
Too much power not interested
Thank you
What an unnecessary and yet intriguing comment. What is low enough power for you?
@@bingoberra18 hahahah it's a mate of mine don't worry
@@KiwiCarLife But if he thinks its too much I am still interested because I think there is some validity to the point. I mean we are seeing all these heavy high horsepower cars.

@@bingoberra18 you're overthinking it. It's an inside joke. Don't worry about it bro 😂
go the WRX,
the version(wrx) you drove is the lightest one also, now becoming the rarest also.
Never liked the Evo 😂
Fair enough. The Evo I drove here was definitely a nicer example, but I would agree the WRX sounded and drove a bit better
@@KiwiCarLife I think I'm very biased though, I always wanted one since I was a teenager 😅
