This is probably one of the most stunning cars I've ever had the pleasure of reviewing. Whether you think they're worth what they are or not, back in the 90's Mitsubishi sure knew how to make a cracking drivers car!

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.

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!

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

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 !
