V6 vs. 4 cylinder - 8/28/2007 12:47:26 AM    Mitsubishme   Posts: 4 Score: 0 Joined: 8/25/2007 Status: offline Can some of you guys who have the 4cyl tell if you like it or not? Versus V6? The one I tested a few days ago was a V6 and I loved the acceleration but I never even tried the 4cyl so I don't know how much more powerful the V6 is. Is there a big difference? How about sound and performance wise? Post #: 1

I test drove both and theres a HUGE difference acceleration wise. Its so damn heavy the lil 4 may barely beat out a crappy stick neon. if you like speed def get the stick 6 otherwise you may regret it. my need for speed is settled with my motorcycle, this gs lets me roll out with style without the need to push it to the limites and still turn plenty of heads.

I'm coming from a 1987 Jeep Cherokee so any of these new cars feel strong compared to that haha. But I have driven many other vehicles at work and as test drive but they are all V6s so I didn't really know how much of a difference there is between them and a 4 cyl. I guess it comes down to when I have saved up the money if I can afford to fork out a few more thousand and if I don't mind losing some MPG. I don't see myself doing a lot of racing or anything. We'll see I guess... Thanks! (in reply to mystopolis) Post #: 4

First, the car is RWD, second comes with a very well built VQ series engine with a ton of aftermarket parts. Responds very well to mods... and responds very well to hot blondes : ) <---- the definition of a sports car _____________________________ These cranks are made for walkin'', and thats just what they''ll do, one of these days these cranks are gonna walk all over you (in reply to Dusty Eclipse) Post #: 9
