Improving the GTR - '14 GTR vs '10 GTR, and Evo X - Everyday Driver

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

It's been five years since the guys drove the GTR, and in that time the R35 has been heavily revised and tweaked. So how much have the changes affected the GTR's personality, and how is it different than the similar but more affordable option, the Mitsubishi Evo X? We drive, compare, and discuss.

    I have to say, you guys do great reviews. It's not usual that a KZread car channel reviews cars this way. Not by benchmarks, laptimes or numbers of that sort. You guys review these cars with emotion. And that really makes me click that subscribe button. Excellent review.

    I am looking to buy a new car near the end of the year. Im in mainland EU btw. I wanna spend max around 40K euros on it, Which car would you suggest? Do you have a recent episode of small & cheap sports cars that I've missed? I know the miata and brz/gt86 and seat leon cupra are obvious candidates, but are there others? is it worth it reaching for a ford focus RS or WRX STI, or waiting for the new S2000 or civic type R? Thanks in advance for all the help/feedback Roeland

You guys are honest, neutral, objective, straightforward. Too bad there aren't many episodes to watch. Keep up the VERY good work guys. BTW, have you tested the A45 AMG? This AMG is light years ahead of the EVO with so much more power and torque & will give the GTR a hard fight if not beat it on the canyon road. Hello From downunder.

    Must say, I love - and respect - the commentary that you both have based on "everyman" considerations. Price, feel, the tangibles and intangibles both. Been watching your videos for sometime now, and it's refreshing amidst a swath of press that leave you wondering if there was sponsorship involved. Not that anyone's asking, but I did drive a '10 GT-R once. Felt the same thing --- felt rather disconnected. Ironically, I also drive an MR, which others would consider equally a disservice as it isn't a "true manual". I've lots of respect for the GT-R. Not only has Nissan constantly updated the design on the current model, but it's also built in as much value as one might find in a relatively low-cost, "turnkey" solution to fast and fun. I guess I'm still behind on the "upgrading" to the more refined class of cars. Too bad Mitsu doesn't leave enthusiasts with any new viable options to "tinker with" from this point onward.

    Making this comment in 2019 and this video has aged like fine wine. As a kid my dream car has always been a GTR. And luckily I was able to achieve the dream this year. And you guys nailed everything down on what it’s like to drive it (I own a 2015 so it’s the more updated version) the car is fast, too fast for me at times, I believe it looks alright but I’d still flaunt a corvette over it. But everything on the car makes my mechanical side happy. Except you’re right. It’s not the most fun car I’ve ever drove. If I had to tell you which car I’ve had more fun in, it’ll be my camaro. Much slower, corners like a tank, cheap interior, but it was a hoot to drive up canyons and do foolish things in. End of the day never listen to GTR fan boys who tell you it’s a better car than what ever car you own or want to own. As long as you having fun and enjoy what you drive, than that is what truly matters.

    You guys really nailed it. I own a 2009 GT-R (tuned on E85 plus other sundry mods) and prior to that a base 1999 Boxster. I still love the Boxster as an everyday car, it was simply effervescent. However… the GT-R has a sense of occasion that few cars can match. You roll Godzilla out of the garage and the word stops, and it truly destroys the track. Makes me feel like a star (which I am certainly not). I have a couple of old AMGs for daily driving, and the GT-R for weekend work. Life isn’t an either/or proposition … get a crazy car like a GT-R for laughs and a daily driver that is fun and accessible on our crowded roads. Keep the great vids coming, Paul and Todd!

    As I was told once, it's Wayyyyyy more fun to drive a slow car fast than a Fast car fast. Ex. I have a 700+rwhp supra(on low boost) and when I jump into the power even from 2nd gear, there is a ton of traffic or end of the road or just unsafe. When I had a slower car 400whp Evo, I was able to go from 2nd to 4th actually feeling the power. Was even better(more fun) when I had a 200 hp Honda and was able to get excited when getting up to 90 mph lol from 1st-5 gear.

    Todd is spot on with his analysis of the GTR's. Couldn't agree with him more. I know GTR owners brag how they can destroy 99.99% of the cars on the road, but in a way, its sort of cheating. Its like Formula 1. The driver is only as good as his car, and thats not a true indication of skill. Its one helluva well-engineered car, but basing this purely on evoking the driver's senses, and the engaging factor, the GTR is just mediocre compared to other sports cars in its class. Yes, you can run 11's all day down the drag and post some of the fastest lap times at the track, but you're not impressing me doing it in a car like the GTR. This is coming from a "Nissan guy" too. Clock similar times in a 911 or Mustang Boss or Corvette, then I'll give you props.

    Could you explain how is it that posting an amazing result with the GT-R is "sort of cheating" while doing so in a 911/Corvette isn't? Doesn't that just indicate that the GT-R is just a step up from their level? While I've never driven the GT-R before, I'm sceptical about the notion of the GT-R transforming the everyday driver into a track hero.

    I just don't understand the focus on the GTR's tech. It WAS new - the first DCT for a rear mounted transmission - but EVERY car now has one - at least as an option. The C7 Z06 isn't DCT - but just as quick shifting (apparently faster) - Ferrari, Lambo, Porsche (even their GT3) ALL have DCT ONLY. Its the future gents.

    Unfortunately don't see this happening either. Even though Nissan owns 40% of MMC, the focus of ownership is to make profit. Thus, the goal is to likely become profitable again. And that means selling cars that people will buy. And Nissan wouldn't probably have bought stock in Mitsu because of high-dollar models that won't sell as much as everyday drivers. If Mitsu makes a comeback in sales, then maybe there'll be room to appease the performance segment again. But unfortunately, they'll fall far behind in the performance market and in cred. Believe me - I'm all for MMC being relevant again. But it's an extremely tall order. Until then, we hold on to the older models we already have in our garages - much like the Evo in this review - because that's all we have left. *sad*

    Great review as always, you may remember me from when I commented on your first evo x review. Well I flew to exotics racing in Vegas and drove the 2013 Gtr 7 laps around motor speedway and was blown away. As an evo x owner for 6 years I'm now 33 years old and decided to sell the 10 for a Gtr. I sold the evo three months ago and am saving still for the Gtr and am crying daily because I think I may have made a mistake. I have a modded dc2 integra and modded honda ruckus that aren't filling the void but I really hope the Gtr will give me the mature, fun complete impression it gave me on the track. Also my good friend just let me drive his 2015 bmw m3 and my o my was that nice. With things like the hellcat and vette zo6 and rcf as well as camaro z28 what's a guy to spend his hard earned cheese on nowadays? Anyways I wish I had the cash for a nismo Gtr but 2013 Gtr here I come. You only live once right? Check my review of the Gtr on the track here iheartcz4a.com

    Nice review guys, I bought a Mini I would guess in large part to your review of compacts over a year ago.(Enjoyed it way more than the Fiat. Driving position and driving feel was so much better) I bring this up because you mentioned GTR guys buying Evos. If I had the financial stability I'd want an Evo over a GTR. No offence but GTRs are cop magnets. Evo just looks like an economy car. Looking forward to the next ones guys. Also it seems you agree again like back in the Cooper/CRZ/500 review.

The mini is fun with pushing it to the limits, the pops and bangs, the boost, the cornering speed. It’s just fun! All day, everyday!

    Since I'm no longer in my 20's I find what you say about the GT-R more fitting to my style. Being on the public roads most of the time, I'd like all the confidence, performance and safety I can get. For kicks and smiles I think I can get that with a lightly modded Miata or shifter kart on a track on the weekends almost for the price of a set of tires for the GT-R, lol. Good review!

    Out of all the cars I've owned in the past my Evo X is by far the most fun car I've ever owned… I've had a Nismo 350Z, Acura RSX Type-S, etc… I've even gone through my truck phase and have had lifted trucks… but none of them have been more fun and capable as my Evo. They were all fun, but where they were fun they lacked in other areas. For example, my 350Z was a lot of fun to drive, but I couldn't do Costco runs or take it up to Big Bear for snow season… But my Evo is super fun on and off the streets. It's fun under any weather condition whether it's rainy, snowy, or hot. I can take it camping, or up to Big Bear, and I can still go grocery shopping and fit the necessities in the car.

    Ev200818 Not really… the rear was a little squirley… like if you punch it the rear kicked out pretty easy. So when the pavement was cold or wet the rear sometimes wanted to kick out one way or another. But it was still a fun car. If I could have afforded to keep it and get the Evo I would have. It's a fun 300hp V6 car. Do you plan on getting one with the DE or HR motor? The 350Z basically went through three engine phases. The older ones had a slower DE motor, than they made the "rev up" DE motor which had more of a punch, and then they produced the HR motor with had more power.

    Great video! I had a chance to ride in a GT-R a few weeks ago and was blown away by the performance. Having had the pleasure of experiencing many cars in my days (911s, Ferraris, Corvettes, various race cars, etc), nothing, absolutely nothing matches the performance of the GT-R. What an incredible machine! Having said that if I had to choose between that and the new Vette, my money would likely be spent on the Corvette. It's a better bang for a buck IMHO.

    I was lucky to own a 2008 Evo and now own a 2009 GTR. Definitely both great cars and it's hard to put them side by side and say "this car is better". They do similar things very well, but if I had to choose one...the GTR would always win. The smile the car puts on your face EVERY single time is hard to deny.

    Boostd4 Of course they would pick the EVO. They entitled themselves to be "Everyday Driver". Then "Paul", is going to say, "the GTR isn't a bargain anymore for $100k". But their both fanboys of the M3. And is the 911s not expensive? Complained that Nissan kept refining the GTR every year. The car that does everything the best is not "fun".

    Guys, you are 100% accurate in this review. I owned a 2008 EVO X MR and now own a 2012 GTR. I did miss the fun factor of a smaller car so I got a 2014 Cayman S to fill the void. Now each morning I decide if I want to blow away everything on the road and drive the GTR or smile and possibly lose a stop light drag race. Most days the Cayman S is chosen. The GTR stock exhaust note is so weak and doesn't match the fury of the car. Meisterschaft bitte.

But I'm a guy who can appreciate a fine car regardless it's make, lol. Said; if Mitsu applied it's performance of the Evo to it's Eclipse, I'd side more with you. Just the whole Coupe vs Sedan thing for me. But I understand yoir point. Who can't appreciate an affordable average Joe performance car.

    Excellent review as always....well worth the wait (too long of a wait :) ) I do have a question for you guys. How does the Evo X GSR's manual transmission compare with the MR SST transmission? I have read the reviews indicating the SST is a faster transmission (lap times), but how will it hold up on a race track? will it have issues? If I purchase an EVO X I plan to do track days. I know the SST has 6 speeds so it will be good as a daily especially on the highway where my IX 06 RS was revving between 4000 - 4500 rpm at 80mph. (I live in Florida i95).

    I own a GTR. It never gets old...I love the transmission and the torque curve. The only thing that gets old is the bit harsh ride quality. Driving in LA with the crappy freeways beats on you. But I think a lot has to do with the run flat tires that I plan to switch out. I also have a 6spd supra which is a blast to drive and is more involved. But GTR is fun too so just buy two cars :) a second one that is a manual. I also think the price of the car has to do with it..when you just spent $100,000 you're hesitant to go to the canyons and push it 110% vs having a fun little Miata that if you wreck it you won't care as much.

    I love your perspective and your willingness to take criticism for subjective opinions. The magazines have some great reviewers but they lean back on 0-60 times and skid pad numbers. Your number one question is invariably "How does this car feel?". It takes a good size pair to say an EVO is more fun than a GTR.

    I think I understand the judgement of these two cars. This result or feeling was same as the "MX-5 vs. FR-S/BRZ" video featured from MT. The FR-S beats the MX-5 even every stats on track time and feels way much sharper and accurate than the MX-5, but the fun factor of MX-5 was still more than the FR-S; not to take anything away from the FR-S as it still is a hugely fun car too in its own way. To draw it back to this video, I think that these guys just had more fun/stimulation in driving the EVO compared to the GTR; again, not to take anything away from the GTR's fun factor. Same reason why Lexus choose to put a single clutch transmission in the LFA instead of double clutch; sure the dual-clutch would be faster and more precise but the emotion from that dramatic feeling as the gears switching over touches the drivers senses that further engages them with driving experience. Nice deep analysis video EverydayDriver, I enjoyed this one.

    I got both of theses an evo x and a gtr, to be honest i dont realy know wich car corner better, the evo is awesome but it is high profile, the gtr is low profile and even if it is heavier it corner like a beast. The steering wheele of the evo is smoother and it feels realy light. So if you want a better evo, you will need lowering spring or coilovers, a few bolt ons and a good tune and you will get almost the same numbers as the gtr, my evo is a tc-sst so is it similar to the gtr in terms of shifting. Both cars are just insane i love them

    Maybe somebody said this already but the argument about having as much weight as a formula one at speed and that makes dynamics better seems bogus. Here's why, the F1 has down force which is different from weight. Down force doesn't get in the way of acceleration/direction changes while weight does in a big way! So a lighter car has better dynamics. I do love your reviews guys. Please keep them coming! :D
