I've had an (Australian delivered) 2008 X since 2012, which I bought with 88, 000 Kms on it.
It was absolutely problem free (except that the ACD control module shat itself) until 290 000 km when the timing chain let go and it required an engine rebuild. I've had the car upgraded to 400+ KW, its now at 315, 000km making it probably the highest mileage X on earth, and its still my daily driver. Best car I ever had.

Looking at purchasing an Evo X in the next few months so this video was literally exactly what I needed. Thank you lads!

Current Evo x owner, have had mine for 7 years . 2012 gsr and let me tell you. It’s an absolute money pit of a car. It’s worth it depending on who you ask . For me, I’m prob 60-65k deep with mine . 39k for the car and another 23 ish in parts and maintenance. Which tbh isn’t much considering other people I’ve talked to with the car. Be ready, especially if it’s your first. It’s gets expensive real quick. You better have a genuine love for the car, only way it’s justified lol everyday I get told so sell it.

Test drove and sti, rs and ended up buying an evo. First is sti's are nice and drives the same as the rs but there's too many subarus and sti's on my area so no to that. RS maybe but not a big fan of its looks. Evo otoh is unique, more enjoyable to drive and looks aggressive. Just ask subaru where they got their design from🤣

[seldomseen_outdoors]

I'm gonna buy 1 anyways. $30, 900 with 71k miles. It's always been my dream car and I'm damned if I'm not gonna chase my dreams. Life's to short to not enjoy it!

The oil changes won't stop the timing chain stretching. Its a rubbish design. There is an updated version with stronger links which supersedes the old design. Needs doing before 40k. Also definitely get the fuel pump relay replaced to the new orange one. The original black ones burn out making the car run lean. A few engines on evo x have been destroyed because of this.

Damn You. Damn You. I checked out your M3 video cause I wanted to buy an E46 M3 to remake the Most Wanted version and after subscribing, lately I have found myself going through all your videos. Yet another youtube channel has recruited me into their cult.

Keep in mind after 30 k miles of hard driving; even with the upgraded timing chain, change out tensioner otherwise the chain will skip a tooth… my 20111 EVO X is pushing 565 whp and 460 tq

Great vid. One note the shifter fork failure was not the manual its the sst that loses even gears.

I had an Evo 8 FQ300 bought after my Subaru P1 - chalk n cheese cars, Evo far more supirior but never tried changing the modes - WE need a MODE SELECTION vid :-)

The Man. Great clip slick information 👌
Keep up the great work 🤙🤙👊

[purplenova]

Hello nice video! I like the community behind evo x including your videos. I would like to know more about the tarmac gravel and snow application to the suspension as you mentioned in this video. If you guys have the time I would appreciate that video! Thank you again for information you share!

[HyLowz]

Evo X owners, come together and inform me which year is the best to buy please 🙏 currently looking to get one but want some experienced options

[coltonn]

do the uprated diff pins depend on mileage and if so at what mileage would such symptoms occur?

[dmentia]

Just finish paying my 2008 evo x currently upgrading my brakes

Looking at purchasing a 2015 gsr 55k miles original owner. He has full bolt ons and pro tuned by a well known tuner in my area, he’s asking 28k and says he’ll include all stock parts. I think it’s an awesome price I’m willing to pay the evos been my dream car since highschool. Is it worth it?

[legionnairegonk]

Second hand there are simply too many issues for such a highly stressed car from new, which is likely to have been thrashed during ownership and now exists without a UK manufacturer presence! It's one of those cars you want, and maybe blinded by desire, but unless it's been a garage queen give an Evo X a miss unless you have very deep pockets or are a masochist...

[Michaels-yndb]

Just bought a 2008 with 70k miles fully stock 1 owner for 15k
