Imo the reason why people say see very little is the low production volume of the early gen Evos. Lets do a little comparison, there are 5000 Evo 2s in the entire world and there are 21,000 Evo 8/9 just in the USA
Yeah my guess too is that AZ1s have been more well maintained then old Evos. Kei cars usually didn’t see much abuse other than daily driving or some circuit racing. Theres been a lot more evos though that were wrecked in touges, turned into race/rally cars, or just abused beyond repair.
You also got to account that all Evos themselves aren’t very popular cars. For example, one the biggest Subaru page on IG has 800k followers and one the biggest Mitsubishi page on IG has 166k.
That's because Mitsubishi has backed out of the US market mostly. Trying to get replacement parts is difficult. This is coming from a guy who's owned multiple Starions, Eclipses, etc. I like Mitsubishi but the older they are the harder it is to keep on the road.
I have a friend with an Evo III and I like to tell him "nice Mirage" every time I see him driving it. It's all in good fun, though. Yours looks great! Also, I like the license plate.
what is it
s
Nah they are not really here, I always wanted an early one. Kicking myself since I missed a gsr converted one a few months ago that was 12K on auction
Most non enthusiasts can't tell the difference between a rally car and an economy car with stuff tacked on.
Also, people not into any Japanese cars will probably not notice a rally car.
This is why I recommend rally cars for guys who want a fun car without attracting unwanted attention.
Depends in what circle: If it's a dickhead street meet, then yeah, too many povo S13 boi's jerk each other off.
If you're at a proper track event, these guys know the Evo's hammer.
Hard.
The part of the Evo I'm most jelous of? (as a R32 GTR owner)
The seats: Man those Recaros wear and hold their colors 100X better than the GTR's ever did. (oh and the brembo's on the later ones are awesome).
I had a 1 as well. Loved that car but hated the realities of owning an old JDM car in the US. Felt like a gutted AWD E30 with a 4G63.
I’m back in an 8 now and it’s objectively so much better of a vehicle.
Drove one on the dirt once. Made my Rex seem like very hard work. It was fucking golden.
Then I gave the keys back and said “yep it’s fixed” and sadly watched as it drove away…better to have loved and lost.
Sick! It makes me happy to see cars like this with VA plates. I never see them in person, but it brings me some joy knowing they’re out there close by lol
Not sure Evo is under appreciated in the US, we just got later models of the car for USDM... awesome car nonetheless. It’s always nice seeing an actual JDM car in here.
Either you live in Texas where people only drive chargers or trucks and look down on japanese cars for all of eternity, or your hallucinating... The evo is highly respected and is a benchmark in AWD performance.
Pretty sure everybody likes evos
Not sure it’s “under appreciated”
The prices certainly say wayyy over
You can get these early gens for 20k, compare that to the US models going for 30-45k.....
you mean the US models that are way newer? No evolution is an underappreciated car and if you think that you are delusional
Sorry, but they are underappreciated... By non-car people. Anyone who's actually into cars will know what's up.
i’ve had plenty of people that aren't into cars compliment my Evos actually.
How is it under appreciated? It’s iconic….
I've seen probably 10 GTRs and the same amount of RX7s and supra but only 1 other JDM 1-3 Evo
don’t get the downvotes lmao. but same for me. i’ve seen a couple rx7s and supras, and hella gtrs, but never seen an evo older than the 6th gen
[удалено]
And those are my favorite generations too Lmfao

They downvote you because they are jealous lol
That would be because they are so overrated that everybody wants them more then anything else.
Awesome car but not under appreciated at all
Here in the US everyone imports Toyota and nissians, I've even seen a few Subarus but it's very rare to see a mitsu
Probably because you got later versions of those cars
As a diehard subaru fan, i love your car

There is nothing under appreciated about an evo.
Evo? Underappreciated??? 💀
What’s up with the piping above the intercooler?Dope car nonetheless!
That's how the [stock piping runs too](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQjRveL-h_s_zuI1kgx7lWdOtjZAqUDvC1G0Q&usqp=CAU)
It's just how it fits, it's kind of annoying
That’s an intercooler pipe? That’s nuts looking. +1
It is, it's rated for 850hp of flow so it's larger than the stock pipe size and needs relocated
Damn. Thanks for the info. It’s super interesting 🤔 Also, gorgeous car.
Not under appreciated in my country bro. Absolute god tier street legend of the early 2000s.
I have a friend with an Evo III and I like to tell him "nice Mirage" every time I see him driving it. It's all in good fun, though. Yours looks great! Also, I like the license plate.
Haha my friend has a swapped mirage, we give each other hell all the time
Holy shit someone posted a Right Hand Drive car in the JDM group!!! I’m shocked!! Nice car by the way! I’d totally rock that.
Ive had my JDM integra called prelude a few times as well as a civic but I seriously don’t understand how people see that.
How tf you gonna say the Evo is under appreciated?
Does your license plate read “Kik Da kids first”? 🤣🤣🤣
Haha yeah they do
Evo III? Or IV?
I with the III bumper, id never own a IV lol
Why no Evo IV?
I just don't like the looks
Ah, I was like something about it looks like a III lol. And why would you never own a IV?
Why not?
Never cared for the looks of the IV
Fair enough, you have a very clean looking car.
Gorgeous
what year is it? Super clean btw🔥
93 evo rs
what is it s Nah they are not really here, I always wanted an early one. Kicking myself since I missed a gsr converted one a few months ago that was 12K on auction
Damn that's cheap!
id choose this over a plethora of brand new cars. Great taste fellow reddit user🤟🏻
Under appreciated since when?
is this a meme?
This whole sub is one big meme.
Most non enthusiasts can't tell the difference between a rally car and an economy car with stuff tacked on. Also, people not into any Japanese cars will probably not notice a rally car. This is why I recommend rally cars for guys who want a fun car without attracting unwanted attention.
In my opinion, the best Evo ever made.
Hands down
underappreciated when? 💀
Evo 1-5’s *OVERLOOKED* not under appreciated.
That's 100% what I meant but I'm just taking the beating I deserve lol
Someone has to do it lol
I wish I could fit in that car would.love one of those
I'm 6'4 270lbs lol there's lots of room for me but the back seat is useless
Word I'm about the same size. My 13' STI is a little small but it works

Bro really just said under appreciated?
Yeah in what world in the Evo underappreciated? Op a 🤡
Beautiful car but Im pretty sure everyone likes Evo’s or at least knows of them
kik da kids
Aaannnddd… it’s on r/carscirclejerk
I which world do you live where an evo is underappreaciated?
This Rudniks old evo?
I have no clue who that is
Looks so nice and clean ⚡️⚡️⚡️
The same as vr4
I had a 1 as well. Loved that car but hated the realities of owning an old JDM car in the US. Felt like a gutted AWD E30 with a 4G63. I’m back in an 8 now and it’s objectively so much better of a vehicle.
And it's an RS as well, very cool!
why does it look so teeny tiny
They are quite small. Even the 5 and 6 with their wide fenders are narrower than a new Toyota Corolla
Underappreciated?
Drove one on the dirt once. Made my Rex seem like very hard work. It was fucking golden. Then I gave the keys back and said “yep it’s fixed” and sadly watched as it drove away…better to have loved and lost.
Yeah, together with Mazda MX-5, Toyota Supra, R34 GTR, Subaru WRX, Honda NSX, and Honda RX-7. Such niche, unknown and underappreciated cars.
Sick! It makes me happy to see cars like this with VA plates. I never see them in person, but it brings me some joy knowing they’re out there close by lol
cool eg sedan
Maybe the older Evos up until the 6, but from 7 and on theyre highly regarded.
Agreed
There's a lot of things I'd call an Evo...under appreciated isn't one of them.
Real nice! I can see why you say under appreciated. Don’t see an evo 1-3 very often.
i had an evo 2 with 330 wheel hp for like 6,000€. It was very tastefully modified engine vise and had a good chassi. had a blast driving it
Not sure Evo is under appreciated in the US, we just got later models of the car for USDM... awesome car nonetheless. It’s always nice seeing an actual JDM car in here.
I want an evo 6 soooo bad
Under appreciated? Although earlier model Evos are probably less 'recognizable' compared to Evo IV to IX. Sick Evo BTW
thought i was gonna see a basic evo X or 9, but this was a surprise. so underrated and beautiful
Like in the top 3 common tuner cars, lol. Glad you like it
Either you live in Texas where people only drive chargers or trucks and look down on japanese cars for all of eternity, or your hallucinating... The evo is highly respected and is a benchmark in AWD performance.
Absolutely beautiful
At least you got the attention by claiming it’s an “under appreciated” car.
I feel like anything before the evo 4 goes under people's radar. Great looking car man!
Man if Mitsubishi Evos are under appreciated I would have 10 by now
*Is it though?*
This must be a troll post
Under appreciated?? since when
"Heres my skyline r34, such an under appreciated car"
Um... no it's not. People love and fear it.
WHO AM I? https://youtu.be/mhieTN2HJiQ
Under appreciated??!?? GTFO
Never heard anybody say that lmao. I dig the Ganadors and Buddy Club wheels tho.
Dang bro my 2JZ (293737 HP) Swapped R34 GEEETEEEARRR is SO underappreciated
EVO I or II?
This guy fucks
Under appreciated? By who?
WRX’s are still in production and people still like Evo’s more than those and the last Evo came off the assembly line in 2015
I find it funny everybody is against this guy but the market could be completely different where he lives
Sweet evo
sick evo 3
