Little things that are wrong with the VR-4

[bungle]

No it not just you, did this many times in my old days auto legnum. I didn't happen on manual :-)

Good to know its not just me. Not a good look as the car judders into gear,engine revving its knackers off. And yeah, nearly ate the steering wheel a few times pulling off my drive at first.

Or suddenly pressing the brake on auto as you do pres clutch manual, nearly lost my teeth that way in some bloody punto or other corsa.

This^^^ had a few beers after work (note I drive a manual navara at work) put the car in tiptronic at the lights. Press out when the light turn green then stomp on the brakes thinking that I was pressing on the clutch pedal when I pushed the lever up for second. Was like WTF just happened. Pressed out again and did the same thing. When I realized what I was doing I just put it back in drive and cruised all the way home.😂😂

hehe, had not this issue with VR4 just on small cars as they have pedals soo close to each other.

All of the things in this thread are minor, easily solvable or plain jest.

The main problem with the VR-4, and with Mitsubishi in general is that they stopped making good cars a while ago. MMC used to be the cool kid on the block.

So true.
Once upon a time Mitsubishi almost had more cool cars than crap one's in their lineup. I don't think they make a single passenger car I'd buy these days.
I remember seeing a prototype Galant in some motoring magazine about 10 years ago that got me truly excited at the thought of a ninth Gen VR4. Now I almost have to look away when I see a modern Mitsubishi.........

But just like a family member you don't much like, I still Love the Three Diamonds thanks to my VR4.

Absolutely agree with above, new lancer is one of the best looking cars on the market ATM but chose of engines its a joke, apart evo of course which is out of my budget, for now, hopefully one day.
