I gave myself the option of buying an EVO or putting the money into building my VR4. I chose the VR4. Enuf said

I would seriously take a vr4 over any of the evo models.
If I had 60k to spend i'd get a vr4, pour 35k into it to make it a fucking weapon and buy a block of land with the deposit that's left over.
VR4's have all the luxuries that evo's don't and they're still damned quick. Frankly, the vr4 weighs about as much as the e5+ models anyway so weight became a nonissue.
Plus the vr4 is more of a drivers car, the later evo's are full of computer aids.

Heh I'm with entaran on this one.. cops don't pick on magnas 
When I was looking for cars, there was a dead stock CC GSR for 11k in adelaide.. would have been a lot less hassle to get.. but, I have been in a lancer before, and they aren't that comfortable. Sure, the performance is there, but it's like choosing between the Porsche Carrera GT and the Mercedes SLR McClaren. They're about the same performance, but the SLR has better seats.

.Food for thought: some people rely on good looking cars to pull in chicks. :lol:
Even if I had an Evo, personally I wouldn't waste money on cosmetic pish posh. The VR4 is by no means an eye sore as some of you -very backward, I might add- Evo owners are subtly suggesting. To me, (and at the end of the day, the person's opinion that counts) that underrated yet tough stance is absolute perfection. It looks menacing to those who are well aware of what it is, what it's brought to motoring, and what it can still do to many cars on the road today, yet extremely placid to those who don't; more importantly, most cops fall into the latter category, unlike you Evo boys. :wink:
And to be comparing it to a VL? I won't even bother to get upset, clearly you said this to get a reaction TOM, and you knew you'd stir up very passionate owners. In terms of age, it can be compared to a VL, obviously. Engine potential too is very potent in both engines also; but the fact that the frequency of these in Melbourne - especially the Northern Suburbs- when compared to the occurance of a VR4 on the road, is but one evidential key point that these cars are far from being such easy comparisons.
And if you do want to argue the legitimacy of a VR4's aesthetic appeal, check out those Jap and Thai VR4s.
Besides, a majority of the "casual" car enthusiasts out there on the road probably look at you, laugh and think "haha, this moron's kitted a Lancer, how rice."
Evo boys, respect your elders!

evo vs vr4 drag day!!
bring it on!!..
lol
why i chose the vr4, because its a sleeper..
nobody knows what it is..
simple as that
i like the looks and size..
it handles well.. build quality is good...
the lancer is too small in my opinion.. i dont like the wrx/evo size..
i like to carry my groceries in the back...
plus it could be used as a family car 10 years later...
but we're all family anyway, evo / vr4 / magna... whatever it is its still a mitsu..
btw, vr4 owns evos... lol

^^ As above.
VR4's are a perfect size to be a sensible daily car, have enough room to comfortably carry 4 full size adults (with legs) and possibly a small child if you have to and have a big enough boot to go away for a week with your partner and still have some spare room in there.
My only gripe is the seats don't fold down due to cross bracing behind them!
You can keep your cop magnets
And it's Poobaru

Same deal with Evo's AFAIK.. shits me but thats what you pay for rigidity I guess..
If its a dedicated street car and you're not going to rally the EVO and want split fold rear seats then just cut the brace out as the car would work fine without it (Evo owners around the world scream out blasthemy :lol: ). A set of rear split fold seats from a GSR or Lancer sedan/coupe will bolt straight in.
As far as collector items go, the EVO 1,2,3 are still more popular than ever because many still believe they are the best shape of them all VR4's are so 1980's :lol:

evos arent small man im 6 foot 3 an have plenty of room to fuck bitches in the back seat so id assume if can root in it my groceries will fit thats a silly point an the boots massive it fits all my work tools no worries...
is everyone really upset about which is better vr4 or evo or are we just havin a go at each other coz we're HUNGRY!!!!!!!!
plus dre's vr4 was one sexc fukin machine no sleeper there it was just a damn hot car love the wheels bro!
evo's just look like race cars an thats wat we want an why we buy them ...
too many people's vr4's arent clean an look old..non colour coded bumpers etc looks a lil cheap...

EVO's are designed to attract girls. That's why so many chicks have lancers with EVO bodykits. They don't look like race cars
And I see a much larger percentage of GSR's/EVO's with different coloured bumpers than I do VR4s!
