So I decided to look at a 6MPS as it is more of a car than a 3MPS but then saw all the problems the members on this forum have been having and it kinda freaked me out with all the clutch issues, diffs, turbos. Coming from a R33 skyline with 240rwkw ive had no issues whatsover with it and it now it has me second guessing whether I should go down this road??
I'd love for you guys to convince me otherwise
seems like you need to convince yourself. there arent THAT many threads. Look on other forums for issues, and you are going to find them.
If you are comparing a 3MPS to an EVO or STi it is not a fair comparison. They are in different classes.
What exactly are you looking for?
Track monster, EVO or STi.
Loud, boy racer, full out modding, EVO or STi
If you are looking for a good all round package that is comfortable to drive to work, does not draw the attention of every cop you drive past, can drive to the track in, race around all day and still look forward to the drive home on shitty roads with your kidneys still intact and then take your grandma shopping the next day then the MPS is for you. It punches above its weight and can compete with the other two but just remember, they were another 30K on top brand spankers.
After 4 years in mine I still enjoy giving it a flogging.
