I daily drove my Evo 9 for over 5 years without a single issue. Like others have said, I don’t know where you heard they weren’t reliable? Half of the instances where evo’s have broken down are when they are pushing over 700whp and are beaten like a step child. And at that point, anything would break down

[jakesleagans]

Reliability...if you drive either an STI or Evo like a raped ape its going to break. Comes down to the driver, the tuner, and service. -Evo X owner and daily driver.

Evos are red
Subies are blue
And they go STUSTUSTU

" It's a simple fact that the Evo is one of the most unreliable cars ever made "
That's not fact, it's a statement by a loved up Subaru fanboy.
I daily drove my Evo IV as my only transport & it only ever had one failure which was a crankshaft pulley, replaced at a tiny cost.
I'm afraid it is the boxer powered Subaru that has the reputation for being prone to failures.
In back to back comparisons it was the Evo that came out on top more often, the Impreza WRX STI might have been easier to live with on a daily basis but the Evo was always the more focused drivers car.

[EvoRacerG]

Evos aren't unreliable.. I know one who has over 500hp over 10 years and it still runs perfect

[srasheedgtr]

Are you saying that EVOs are unreliable? Dude the fact that 1300-1400bhp is so easily possible in a 4G63T and 4B11T is because of the reliability of EVOs. Some EVOs have even been using stock transmissions and axles/driveshafts at that kind of power level. I've never seen a Subaru achieve that kind of feat.
But you say that you're a Subaru guy so maybe you're just saying BS about the EVO. The fact that you can't daily drive an EVO is utter bullshit. You can! Want proof? Check out the owner of Shift Fast Motorsports. He daily drives an EVO 8 that he has tuned to 700whp on a STOCK bottom end, at 42 PSI of boost and has never had one single mechanical fault/failure, even after owning it and daily driving it for years. Unreliable my ass! When it comes to EVOs and their reliability (which is solid), who do you think I'm gonna believe? A random YouTuber who's never owned an EVO and is strongly biased towards Subarus? Or a tuning shop who is the leading masters of tuning EVOs and STis (and has been doing it for so long)?
I'm very obviously gonna believe the latter cos I'm not a fool and ain't stupid.

[halvey]

Heard of a lot more Subarus blowing up before Evos😂

[firyxx]

You are getting flamed for saying that the evo is not reliable.

[montezmanning]

Imo the evo is more reliable and easier to maintenance than the sti.

[tommyriskrunnertattaglia]

R.I.P EVO because Mitsubishi want to be a Range Rover impersonator

[RallyLancer]

Subie fanboy makes video about the Evolution. Not really a good idea

[Cal]

The 4B11 has little to no known issues. The only issues were the 2008 and 2010 models which had a weak timing chains and would break. The 2011+ models had no TSB warranty issue and can run north of 450whp forever with no issues. The 5 speed transmission can handle 1000whp. I don't know where the reliability argument came from. lol.

My second car was a modified Evo VII which I daily from 70K to 310K for 9 years, doing 140km 3-4 days a week. Only problem I've ever had that rendered my car useless was a busted alternator which made me late for work. Take care of your Evo and it will remain loyal to you.

[kevinvines]

I daily my modified Evo X, and it is excellent. The subie may be a bit more comfy for the daily commute because of its creature comforts, but the Evo is much more reliable. Your bias has your facts mixed up there, buddy 👍🏻

" It's a simple fact that the Evo is one of the most unreliable cars ever made "

**ahem**

Ringland that is all....

[thhousealchemist]

EVOs are only considered unreliable because most owners don't keep up with the pricey maintenance. They are broke with the purchase alone and spend money on Mods over maintenance. I was lucky enough to get a 5-sp manual EVO X FE with 15k miles from a dealership that was dumb enough to Pre-ceritfy the car. I bought every extended warranty they offered, plus had two months left on the manufacturer's warranty. I took it to Mitsubishi the next day to diagnose any issues and got a clean bill of health.

[ericong]

reliability with subaru?
man you gotta be kidding. the 4G63T is easily one of the most reliable 4-cylinder engines even until today's standard, and way cheaper to maintain than subaru's boxer.

[datevo]

"It's a simple fact that the Evo is one of the most unreliable cars ever made ". Are you sure about that?

[evolvedix]

Not sure were you get the Evo is not reliable and that the Subaru is more reliable than the Evo the 4g63 is probably the best four-cylinder motor ever made and they are very reliable I should know I have owed three of them without a problem but you always hear about how unreliable Subarus are and how they keep blowing ring lands when you try to make any kind of power without tuning them just saying I like the video but reliability and Subaru just don’t go together just saying

[shahrozalijafri]

The active yaw control for me is what that makes it so great probably faster than Morden supercars around corners and what makes it better than the sti
