    Everything you said is fine and dandy so long as you realize that every picky subject increases howuch you're going to pay. Low mileage, stock, service records etc = a big premium.

    • @ikigaidriven
      @ikigaidriven  3 года назад

      Yup! It depends on your budget and goal of the car. For a perfectly clean evo, a premium price is expected.

    Thumbs up for a good general overview that hit all the main points. I have a 9 so I can comment on a few things. Any car you see with a JDM rear bumper either has the OEM crash beam removed or modified so you want to ask about that. Many of these cars have been totaled due to rear end hits, and that is not something you can control as a driver. You are more likely to find a "return to stock" car than a "stock-never modified" one, it is that rare. Also, it takes a certain type of person to own this car, especially long term. It tailors especially well to those who are into performance driving such as autox, track, drag, etc. Sure you can daily drive it, but given the endless cars with newer tech today it is only a matter of time before the spartan interior gets you. My Evo is a weekend car and I have another daily driver with modern amenities.

    • @ikigaidriven
      @ikigaidriven  3 года назад

      You are completely correct. Mine came with a rear crash beam with the JDM rear bumper so I was happy that was done correctly. Definitely need to have a daily with more modern tech and this as a weekend car. The interior is aged and I really hate the cable driven AC controls. Wish it had the JDM version

      If you're deciding between a evo and a sti. Go get a sti, you don't deserve a evo.

    • @ikigaidriven
      @ikigaidriven  3 года назад +1

      I had the same dilemma. They're both great cars but they're very different. The Evos have more raw power and the car is more performance focused whereas the STI just have better up-to-date technology. It also depends if you plan to mod it. The Evos are mod friendly and you get more HP gain. You would have to get the STI pro tuned for every part you install as it creates risk of ringland failures. I just heard a lot of stories of people getting their STI engines replaced many times.

    Few questions on evos
    1 is this a good first car I live in Canada so want something fast for summer and reliable for winter
    2 what is the price range for a good condition evo with no problems or easily fixed problems
    3 what gen evo tends to have the least issues over time

    • @ikigaidriven
      @ikigaidriven  3 года назад +2

      1. Yes it is great all year long car. As long as it's fairly stock, it will be very reliable.
      2. Evo 9's generally cost more than the Evo 7/8 because it's the last year with the 4G63 so it depends on your budget. Evo 9s with no issue, stock will run around 26-28k. Evo 8s can be around 20-26k
      3. Each gen evo has their own issue, that is with every vehicle but it depends on your budget, your plan with the car. I would honestly get Evo 9 for it's rarity, a true raw power, but interior is outdated for sure. Evo X is good too and better for a daily.

  • @deathunitesus2135
    @deathunitesus2135 3 года назад +4

    These were good daily drivers when they came out with a warranty. Not now at all. Unless you love spending lots of money. Everyone who got these used them to go fast and use them to for what they were made for. A stock one is a unicorn and will cost a fortune.

    • @ikigaidriven
      @ikigaidriven  2 года назад +2

      Yup, a stock Evo with just basic bolt ons are reliable. Prices on these are on the high side due to the chip shortage. You can find one for around 22k up to 30k

      @@ikigaidriven Agreed, and maybe 5yrs ago I would agree, but anyone who’s part of the Jdm scene knows that the auctions are making the grades up as the feel, recently seen so many grade 3 or 4 cars that are rusty-modified- etc and grade R cars simply because of paint or the wrong wheels/steering wheel. These cars should be bought on condition alone not the grade the cars been burdened with when leaving Japan. 👍🏼
