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
