We have to remember that Mitsubishi are not in a good spot right now. They need to make their best to make cars that people would buy, therefore, they had to ditch the cars like evo, etc. Making crossovers and in quote “boring cars” might be Mitsubishi’s last chance to stay relevant in the industry

Though, the Mirage right now isn't well known for performance and it hasn't been justified whether it is worthy of a performance version so nevermind, forget what I said completely.

Growing up I was always team EVO while I knew others that were team STI. While I could never afford an EVO myself, I did buy a new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, with all the upgrades. I absolutely loved that car and in my 11 years of owning it, I never once had to take it to a shop for something other than regular maintenance. When I heard Mitsubishi's announcement that they were canceling the EVO and the Lancer itself I felt so betrayed and vowed to never by a Mitsubishi vehicle again. In 2019 I traded in my Lancer for a brand new Hyundai Veloster Turbo and it's been great so far! It's smaller than my old Lancer, but man is it fun to drive!

I have a theory: Mitsu’s cancellation of the Evo is the reason why Subaru never bothered to update and upgrade the WRX and STI all these years. With no real competition, Subaru had no real incentive to make those cars better. So maybe we’ll see if Subaru revises the WRX/STI for 2021, which they were suppose to do this year. And Subaru will probably turn the STI into some quirky turbo/hybrid electric drive.

Everything you said before the 17 minute mark is true and works in my favor. It keeps the casual people away from this car, which is already rare to begin with. Many people will track or do performance driving with these cars, which is the way it should be. Sure, you can modify for show/looks, but as you mentioned, there is only so much you can do with a Lancer interior before it gets old/boring. No need to find an 8/9, the interior is even worse and don't even start talking about safety lol. I own a modded 9 and use it primarily for autocross or quick weekend drives to keep things moving. If I had to drive this thing every day, I would kill myself. At the same time, I would not sell it for anything, it really is that great.

Regarding body roll, remember this is a RALLY car - meaning, an OFF PAVEMENT racing car. The suspension needs to have travel, and it needs to be able to move, to deal with bumps, ruts, uneven ground, and of course jumps. Obviously in stock form it's not competition ready, but those are its bones. Sure you can tune it for flatter cornering as a street car, and I guess that's what most people do, but that will make it worse, not better, for its designed use. Its all-road capabilities should at least be appreciated.

I've been waiting an Evo review from Doug Demuro and finally it's here

And here I am owning a very much modified 08 Lancer 5-speed with 226k miles and a basically stock 10 GSR with 86k that I was recently able to get. I love both versions and alternate driving to work and back roads with both. Learning the differences between both has been the most interesting, like the 1st (30mph) and 2nd (60-62ish mph) gear are pretty much the same in terms of speed even though the Evo has a higher redline. Also just how much of a draw the weight of the AWD system effects the gas mileage. I can definitely keep a higher speed using less gas in the NA (personal best being 37 mpg) vs. Turbo out of boost (best I've got was 26 mpg, letting traffic pass me doing the speed limit in Atlanta). But boy when I lay into boost even in 5th gear, the rush and how fast it picks up for passing is just so nice.

This is what rally homologations do - they are standard cars, with all the functional bits turned up to 11. That's the point and the charm.

You can't go wrong with either. Both are gems.

I didn't know any of what Doug said about how to tell if it's an evo, especially since I see a ton of people put the spoiler on their base lancer. I always look at the fuel door. Regular lancers have a circular fuel door while all evos have a square shaped fuel door. Of course it's hard to see the fuel door while I'm gapping the lancer in my STI, plus my vape clouds make it that much more challenging.

It was also the first Evo developed for the World Market. None the less. Its a beloved sports car that isnt made anymore. It will most definitely be sought after in future and will fetch a high price when left unmodified and maintained. Especially with the way people treat these cars, its already starting to become a rarity to see an unmolested X. Just because evo 8’s/9’s had limited production runs in the US and thus more sought after, doesn’t mean “nobody wants an X”. There’s just alot more X’s.

"Mitsubishi canceled this car because it didn't fit in with their product portfolio moving toward crossovers and SUVs." Clearly, the crossover thing worked out for them. But seriously, so many automakers have a penchant for killing beloved, iconic cars. Cars that actually get people excited about the brand like the S2000, (old) Supra, and of course the Evo. Yeah, they have to make a business case, but Subaru and Mazda are able to make it work with the low-volume WRX and Miata.

Mitsubishi certainly did themselves a disservice when they walked away from the performance car market. I always preferred the Subaru STI but the EVO certainly had some impressive performance characteristics of its own. But I can see your point about the last EVO had less impressive build quality. Mitsubishi definitely lost interest in performance and coolness of cars. And it showed. Which is why the EVO is gone while the STI is still with us.

Love them. They're probably every 200 - 300 cars you see here (New Zealand) but when you do see an original they stand out a lot because theyre sleeper-car beast-mode!

Not to mention yaw control and torque vectoring were invented by Mitsubishi during the earlier Evo development. Ive seen so many STIs burn up after pitiful amount of miles, not the Evo though. And lets be honest: both cars were made to mod for rally, so comparing stock is useless. Modded STIs, while great in many aspects, need a helluva lot more mods to be effective and reliable, especially when it comes to the motor. The STI motor (comparing EVO X to the STI of that year of course) was simply built like a tin can. They couldnt take mods. First users were pissed off on the forums, took a few years for aftermarket to make upgraded rods and pistons to make the STI motor able to take any increase in torque. But they are different cars. STI is lighter, EVO feels heavy like a German car. But honestly, point for point the EVO is just better, and it was more expensive so go figure.
