WHAT CAR SHOULD I BUY? 3.8 R-Spec, 370Z, Evo X MR or WRX?

- I am in the process of buying a new car! I just traded in my 2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T Premium at Champion Car Company. The goal is to buy a car that has more power, better transmission, better brakes, and just an upgraded feel as a sports car. Four cars are on my list. 2015 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec (4k Miles), 2012 Nissan 370Z (22k), 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR (38k), and the 2011 Subaru Impreza WRX (44k). For reference, my 2.0T had 33k miles.
Of these 4 cars, what would you buy? What do you think will work best for me? If you own these car, what do you think?
Pros:
3.8 - Powerful, Good Manual, Great Sound, Premium Feel, Good Handling/Brakes
370z - Awesome Driver Position, Powerful, Awesome Manual, Good Brakes/Handling, Loaded Interior, Backup Camera
Evo - Practical, Easy To Drive, All Season Control w/ AWD, Advanced Transmission, Tuning Options
WRX - Practical, Tuning Options, AWD, BOV Sound
Cons:
3.8 - Seems Too Similar To My 2.0T When Cruising, I'm Already 'used' To It
370z - Poor Rear Visibility, Lack of Storage Space
Evo - I'll Never use The Rear Seats, Not much Higher RPM Power Like a V6
WRX - I'll Never use The Rear Seats, Not much Higher RPM Power Like a V6, 5 Speed

I know my comment won't get read or even seen, but I'd go for the 370 hardtop/coupe. The VQ37vhr along with the whole VQ line up is very bullet proof and powerful sports engine. Also.. You'll be one level under an actual GTR that sports the VR38dett. BTW the VQ35 hangs with 300hp+ V8s.. The 3.7L is even more powerful
Nice comment. We actually read every single comment we get, and reply back to nearly all of them :)
I'm with him, I have a VQ35 altima that I just paid off and am looking at getting another car, I want the 370 three most but I have a son so it just doesn't work but I love the z so I'm looking at the g37s. the VQ line is amazing and at 140k on my altima never had one problem. If I could I would get the Z. You should get a Z for those of us who can't. Subscribing to see what you get.
370z all the way. genesis is just the same car. four doors, you can get those later in life. right now, you will enjoy the 2 door 2 seat best.
@@Jay-gy1cy whats up? I currently own a G37XS, the rear seat room is not good. The interior window/ceiling is very low. My 18yr old barely fits in the back. In addition trunk space is very limited due to a full size spare. In terms of fun, wow is all I have to say. Pulls hard, VQ as you know very reliable.
@@davidbrowne9984 how tall is ur 18 year old?
Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-SPEC for sure!!!
i would go for the 3.8 R-spec, i thing it's such a clean car. I am actually saving for a down payment to get one myself in October
Ed Findlay lmao same hope we both get it 💯
We all need to get there I’m grinding to try to get mine by July!
I'm trying to get a track 2013 with 8 speed automatic. Let's hope we get it🔥🔥
Y’all don’t be crying when you see a Evo fly by you then 😭
A J just got mine to still shipping tho can’t wait lol
I have driven a 2012 Genesis coupe for a week and absolutely loved it! However, I currently own a 2014 Nissan 370z sport and love it even more. Great review brotha! You nailed the comparison of the two.
That Mitsubishi is an absolute suitable car for you than the three cars
as long as he doesn't mind it being and auto
his old genesis was an auto
+Aspiring to Inspire it has paddles. they dont make a fully automatic version to my knowledge
+Next Level Scrub if it doesn't have 3 pedals it's an auto
Aspiring to Inspire thats a good way to look at it but its not fully auto.
I'd love to see you stick with the genny! Just a beautiful car point blank, you pretty much know what to expect. Although you can never go wrong with a wrx. Hope to see your decision soon bro
yeah if I were u I'd go with the Genesis I own a 3.8 ultimate hyundai Genesis and it's got lots of power sounds great and performs great :)
The EVO,it has an amazing engine & drivetrain system.
Evo!!!
I hear Evo X MR transmission overheats if few minutes, is that true?
the DCT feels abit dated in comparison with newer generations DCT's tho

I would say the gen coupe 3.8l would be the best car to upgrade to. I would only say the 370z would trump that only if you would be planning to go Twin Turbo on it. Only then would i say hands down would be the 370z. But in terms of practicality id stick with the gen coupe with the choices you've given us.
Cant wait to hear your choice! We'll have it detailed and ready to go once you decide!
The Evo has the best of everything. If you ever do need to take more people with you, you have the space for it. It has the high horsepower and high torque, and the AWD is always a plus. I'd go with the Evo.
Take the Z or the Evo depending what kind of condition they are in. I know the genesis comes with brembos and a vlsd, but the Z is a much better sports car, lighter, faster, handles better, has heritage and gets respect, and those extra options are available for a little extra money later down the road. Plus the Z's engine is probably the best sounding v6 of all time
oh wow just realized its a Z with the sports package already... so its a no brainer. Z or evo i say Z !!!
Yep, Z
The Z is made for small midgets not men over 6ft4.
thats funny because im 6'3/6'4 with shoes on and 210lbs, i sit with the seat not even close to pushed all the way back
GT-R?
I can see you in the 370z more than any of the others. You seemed to really love the 370z Nismo you drove recently and after seeing you with that, I was already convinced you would end up with one. :)
I would say Genesis coupe it is literally the next step up. Has the most power out of the box beautiful sounding v6, fun rwd sports car to throw into corners, still comfortable enough to daily. It is familiar but only looks definitely drives a lot different then your previous car but still has a lot of the same concepts and maintenance you already know about the car. I would definitely go with the Genesis
Evo x would be a full package but it's a MR, it all depends on what you plan to do with the car, Drift? 1/4 mile? or Faster on the highway. I got a Evo X GSR instead of the Nissan 370z because I'm more of a quarter mile guy and the Z is mostly a drifter's car.. My buddy has that Genesis and he doesn't like how long it takes to get to that peak power so it makes for slower 1/4 miles, My other buddy has a wrx hatch and he loves it, it really is the best bang for your buck in these 4 options for me just because its manual.... Hope that helps a little!
i would go with the genesis 3.8, just makes sense to upgrade to the more powerful car, but u decide at the end, Good Luck!!!
had this exact same decision.. drove them all pretty hard.. Z was my favourite hands down.. been a few years, no regrets.
ill go for the wrx it has that awesome turbo spool and the exhaust that sounds great
shouldn't the STI be there instead of a WRX
SageoftheSixPaths Focus RS
Well the WRX is financially better it just makes 20hp less than the sti so not that much of a difference really. It be smarter to get the WRX than the sti
@@layne4376 also the wrx has AWD but to be honest subie arnt all that just overhyped and priced. Why do I want a boxer engine that's notorious for head gasket leaks and when passing 100k on the car you have alot of problems talking from experience
@@layne4376 my friend had a 2007 sti he did an e85 and a bigger turbo, he dynoed it at 404 hp month later the tranny blew. I'm not full of shit. I'm guessing your a subie fanboy but subie are shit. The only subie I like is the 22b
@@layne4376 I would rather get a 370 nismo than a subie. I hate how the subie culture think they have fast cars when the dont xD there shit is slow asf
Go with the 370z, hot rod red is beautiful on that z and the 4 doors are nice but they don't feel special. You won't get the love you would for owning a 370z. It's new, it's beautiful as fuck, and it's a 2 door sports car we know you've grown to love!
3.8 r spec 👌🏽😏
I just bought a genesis and it's awesome. I use to alwsys search up genesis coupes here on UA-cam and if it wasn't for the genesis coupe I would have no idea your youtube ever existed
i got the 2015 3.8 ultimate and love it! but man that 370 looks mean bro
Looked like the 370z put the biggest smile on your face, but the evo really is the best of all the worlds with the most potential for growth. If weather is ever a problem where you're at, the evo would be the obvious choice. That's what won me over. I am currently in the process of trading my G35 coupe for an Evo. Good luck!
EVO!!!! For sure my favorite out of all!
The genesis looks so clean especially when you lower it, get some work wheels and a little bit of camber, no doubt the best looking car there but the 370 is lighter and a few upgrades and you have a very light car with 400 hp
The Genesis was a fun car for sure! i enjoyed mine. But the 370Z is such a step up in performance, I was very happy going with that. I ended up trading the red Z in for a Nismo Z 6 months later. And then a year later traded that for a GTR. Now I have the new Supra along side the GTR. But the Genesis Coupe is a great entry level sportscar and they are super cheap now
I would go with the 3.8 R/Spec !! great colour also :) :) just beautiful.. and if you want you can always upgrade it with a new exhaust to make it less familiar :) you can hear that V6 even more.. I dont like the interieur of the Nissan. :) and also not the colour.
and 4 doors dont like them, Im exactly like you, dont need the space and they look less sporty
good luck with the pick mister!!
Depends on how much power you want to make and what kind of driving you like. The WRX and EVO grip like crazy, the evo has a more mod happy motor than the WRX. The only negative on the EVO is the interior and the transmission. The 6 speed isn't very strong. The WRX is a great daily, but the 5 speed will max out with the motor at around 320 whp. If you go with a subaru, get the STi. The 6speed is unbreakable basically. If you like drifting, I'd get the Nissan over the Hyundai. You're trading in a Genesis, so clearly you wanted something different. The EVO and STi are great cars, but obviously they don't drift much. However, once you go turbo you don't go back. There is something addicting about the turbo life. Either way, you've got a great list of cars here. Good luck with the choice!
yeah the Mitsubishi 2.0's are great engines for modding, thats for sure
6 years late but whatever. I have a 2015 MR, the trans is just as strong as the GSR, though it will cost a bit more to repair. Both the 5MT and TC-SST can handle 400wtq before stuff gets dicey.
one more thing too change out the factory pads for hawks or ebc Yello stuff and your gonna notice a difference twice as good it's amazing
WRX is a great value. I've had my '15 for over 2 years & 20,000 miles. It is fun, fast, safe, & reliable. AWD & 4 doors. I chose the 6 speed with a short throw STI shifter. They're all good cars. Get what you want.
Not a fan of those cars but if I had to choose I would pick the 370Z.
If I could go back I'd take the Evo X, but the 370z isn't bad..I'd also prefer the WRX over the Genesis due to the Gen having a not so great Trans imo & not many shops that work on Korean cars (Tune, etc) but the Evo X has the most potential out of all the cars listed
I do with either of the turbo AWDs, that Evo with the dual clutch had me drooling but I understand if you don't pick it because you want a manual
easily z but I'm biased
Yeah he should go with a 370Z. RWD, N/A respectable power and the Evo has too high of a sitting position feels like a damn truck driving it. I'm sure theres high lateral G's on the driver while cornering . It seems that almost everybody has an Evo X now too many people slam them and stance them to the point where they cant even drive on a dirt road.
i have friends with evos and stis and those are the 2 best cars i have driven and i like the wrx the most because of the feel
Get the evo. It will hold its value better than the rest, and without a doubt the fastest out of the 4.
I'm getting my 3.8 soon
ill sub juat to see what you get! :)
i reckon go with the 370z
i have a 350 atm and am about to upgrade to a 370, such great cars!
370 with the stillen gen 3 cold air intake and full exhaust with the 'uprev' tune and she'll fly! also improves the throttle response
I'd say Evo because the wrx looks like it was modded a tad so it's likely it was beat up, not to say the Evo wasn't beat up either but looking at the grille I can't see any mods. The genesis is probably the better all around but the 370z is really good considering it is inferred that it is gonna be reliable (Japanese) and it is a really nice interior compared to the other cars
Great video
Be different get the Genesis Coupe 3.8 , or get the Evo one of those hard decision
Get the bk2 3.8. The 3.8 L is such a special engine. It has 4 seats to.
Test drive the 3.8. i have a 2013 3.8 and i have no regrets. I pull from modern v8 cars in my 5th every time lol.
For a 3500 lb car it handles well.
just saw you test drove it lol my bad, buy the car though its so unique and awesome. Its top end is fucking insane btw. 100-150 is stupid fast.
From these 4 cars I would take the 370Z. If you have friends or family take the WRX because it is 4 door and it is practical, the EVO is auto and it is shit. Don't take the Genesis because It is basicaly the same car with more power, if you need a change do it properly.
370z for the most raw hardline sports car experience of the four
370z!!! I own one and it drives great. I've driven both the Genesis and the wrx, all three are great cars. But I really like the 370. It is an overall great car. But warn you the 09-12 have csc problems, oil overheating problems, and steering lock problems. You will be happy with the 370z
I think you'll get the 370z for more power, change of seminary. And also since you don't a lot of space it seems like the choice to make
Why that many dislikes? This was pretty good... nice comparisons of a few top desirable cars for a lot of guys(and girls) looking for a fun car
Don't get me wrong I will ALWAYS have love for the Z, WRX, and ESPECIALLY the Evo, but I love my 12 BK1.
I do agree the gearbox is not a very good system on the BK1 compared to the BK2 and the other cars you looking at. Luckily though a Megan racing transmission mount fixes that issue. Much better!
I've driven all if the above. my favorites are the Evo and the Z I ended up with a Z. the seating position in the Evo was all wrong for long term driving. The Z is the most pure driving. but the Evo is the most visceral. I bought a Z in the end
Yeh I didn't fit well in the evo for a long drive. It felt like my legs were not on the seat. The front of the seats needs to move upward like the controls in the Z
+Bros FOURR Speed
Just be prepared to pay big $$$$ on tires. They last about 15,000 miles in real world fun driving $1,400 a year if trying to have proper tires. I run pilot SS. You can get away with Hankook for about $900-$1000
+unknown This has Toyos on them now. About $1k. But I only put about 6k miles on a year. So I should be good on 1 set for more than 2 years. And that's with mountain and track event road trips.
wait are 2014-2016 genesis’ better than the 2013? i thought since they were the same generation that most everything was the same quality. you mentioned the transmission being nicer in 2014 and up. is this concurrent in the 2013?
go with 370z. i love mine. i tested EVO and subaru's really didnt feel the 4 doos sedan looks. i wish they made coupes i did like the Evo tho and for genesis lol i wouldnt even drive a KDM sorry.
Any 4-cylinder 2 liter turbocharged rice rocket that rides 1" off the ground on 20" wheels with a straight pipe exhaust and a 1,000 watt stereo system plus having limo tint on all the glass. Make sure that the boost gauge is at least 4" in diameter and that it sits front and center on the top of your dash. Don't forget to include high-volume smoke canisters under your rear bumper that can be activated to lay a thick smokescreen that will confuse pursuing police cars that are intent on making you satisfy their monthly ticket quotas.
evo x man the awd high torque is amazing. plenty of room in the back seats and has plenty of upgrade room with bolt ons
I've owned both a Genesis and currently a 370z. I'd take the Genesis for comfort without a doubt. If you're looking for a sportier car though, I'd go 370. In my opinion, the 370z is simply just more fun, minus a little comfort and practicality. It all depends on how much a back seat and a trunk matters to you. And for the other two, well, let's just say I love RWD.
bruh i have the base 3.8 2015 bk2. its SO comfy to drive. lol
Wrx all the way!!
the 370 bro vq power few bolt ons you'll be dippin
Get the Z. You won't feel the need to waste money on modifications. It'll make you a better driver and won't attract cops.
MR Evo is hard to get. It will hold its value, rare car and more practical with turbo and awd!
I can attest to this. I just recently got a 2015 Evo X MRT with 36k miles on it a month ago (now 38k) for 43k and some change. There were many GSRs but only a couple of MRs and only 1 MRT; they definitely are a hard find nowadays. The MRs minimum were 35k, and most of the GSRs apart from a few clean spec ones were under 35k.
EVO X MR is that even a fucking serious question bro? EVO X over all.
It's an auto tho
+Mustafa Barlas It shifts faster than manual..
+Sosuke Auto is shit deal with it
+MA_DD Lol. you know nothing about cars. The world's fastest supras are all automatic. Hell, the fucking GTR you fanboys is automatic.
Sosuke Well you are an auto fanboy. Whatever floats your boat. Have you ever driven stick who cares if auto shifts faster, manual is more involving. Or you are just 14 year old boy that never sat in a car and plays need for speed all day.
From a honest perspective? I'm a GenCoupe man, but I say go with the Evo. Genesis Coupe will always be my "go to" and the 3.8 V6 will always be fun. Had mine for a year and I still get thrills from it. The thing is though, you've already had a gen. While its good to stay with something familiar, it's basically the same car. It'll feel like a big upgrade (which would be the point right? lol) but that's it, just a big upgrade or not much of a new experience. The Z is amazing, but depending on the roads (and this is based off of others testimonials) it could be a joy or just plain tasking having to get used to feeling a lot more bumps and changes in the road as supposed to the Gen. I'm also a Subie over Evo kinda guy and that change happened recently within the last couple of years or so, but the thing is... there will be more WRX's down the road that we will grow to learn of. The EVO X is the last of the EVO that we all know and love, and chances may be that Nissan's intervention may promote the idea of retracting that statement of "No More Evo" but I'm calling this now. Nissan/Mitsu may make the next EVO (If brought back) a GTR fighter, and with that also a GTR fighter with a price tag. I'm really hoping that if they do bring the idea of another EVO back to the living? that It won't cost donating a couple of organs and taking out a loan to obtain. But with the latest trend of bringing back the names that tug a bit at the "memory lane" card. I wouldn't be all too surprised... The auto box is a stretch, if it was manual? I'd say it hands down. But If I had to give my choices in order? EVO, Gen, Subie, and then Z.
good points for sure
+Bros FOURR Speed get a wrx sti
I'll get the EVO or WRX, but at the price point you're in I would just buy a new WRX. Much better all around car and really keeps its value. You might not think you need a back seat now, wait until you don't have the option, I learned the hard way.
1. The Evo X MR and then the WRX. Then the Genesis for extra seats and then the Z. Love it but 2 seats don't work for my lifestyle.
Hyundai .. Had already 3 coupés and still love them
Coming from someone that owns a wrx, if you want the fastest car out of those it's an evo. If you plan on modding evos can get to crazy numbers.
u have to be crazy dude.....evo overall.....another level man..
3.8 Gen or the Evo.
EVO hands down. I'm getting one in June of 2017 so
Good for picking the z i had the 2009 model and i just bought a 2016 model and it's an amazing car!
carlos hernandez does it sound like the gtr?
leonard de vera jaja not even close lol but the Z has something special its a simple car with a unique design and an excellent engine! But the gtr is my dream car for sure!

Lol i am actually in a very similar situation. Im getting rid of my 2011 Genesis coupe 3.8 automatic and trying to get a manual version of those cars. I'm going to tell you from a tuning perspective of what I have researched.
Genesis coupe 3.8 2013+: The bk2 3.8 has the same engine as the old bk1 but with the addition of direct injection which could be a good thing and a bad thing depending if you are planning to tune it. Because it is direct fuel injection, you will not be able to run ethanol. They sell a turbokit from turbokits.com which I heard is great but you wont be able to run e85 so it will restrict you on power if you plan to boost it later on.
370z: The 370z is actually a bit quicker than the gdi genesis 3.8 and the rest of them from a ROLL not a dig but you will lose backseats. The 370z if I am not wrong has the best transmission out of all 4 and it comes with the rev matching which is cool. If you want to make more power, they make a fast intentions twin turbo and an AAM turbo (which I think that you already reviewed) for the 370z along with a stillen supercharger. I have heard that the fast intentions is slightly better and you can later on run ethanol which is really nice.
The evo and the wrx are basically the same but the wrx will run into more issues after you start adding in more boost because of the weak ring lands. And I believe the evo has a superior transmission to the wrx.
I'm sure you've already choosen what you're going to buy, but I try anyways. Tbh I'd go for the 370z. I think it's the best looking car between those and also I would keep staying with the rwd drivetrain.
Genesis is rwd also
+Kevin Le I know, but it's not a big change from his old Genesis Coupé. That's why I'd go for the 370z
+SuperCroc97 oh I gotcha. Yeah, 370z would be the pick for a change over
I would suggest your test more cars if you could.
Out of those 4 the EVO! 2nd 370Z
what year is this wrx I hear the pre 2015 rumble ? my advice get another genny
370z love that vq noise
I'd say take the EVO, it has a great AWD system, You can haul 4 people when u want and drive it wherever you want in ANY weather and it has a good engine. I'd take it over all 3 cars + it makes good power with mods....(btw I drive a 9th gen accord 6speed)
I personally own a 2014 3.8 Genesis. I would recommend that's you stay away from it and that you go for one of the other cars. I thought my Genesis was grey when I first got it but there is honestly so many little that are horrible that make it worse than the cars. I'm personally looking at trading for a 370z
Hands down I gotta get the R speck how could I forget
I suggest the 370z or Genesis.I would not take the WRX because of the Ringland common problem with these cars ! And for the Evo X , it's a automatic -.-
theyre all nice, but id take the EVO MR
I really like the 350/370z but the 2 seater thing I just cannot get with and the truck space is trash. I mean, you could barley fit a weekend bag if you were driving out of town to a car show. I'd go with the Genesis coupe.
Not a fan of any of these specific examples but id go with an EVO X
Evo x but gotta get it in the manual
I wouldn't choose any of them but maybe the Evo if I had to
Out of those options the WRX or if you could open your search a bit and grab an older STi do that!
I love my 2015 Genesis but there's not a lot of performance upgrades like the others🙁
My choices are the 370z or Evo. I think you should make a survey so you can see which one(s) your subscribers like most
Bro id get the z they are so much fun to drive they look incredible and you'll never get tired of it perfect amount of power so much fun to slide around in it rear wheel drive are always funnest. The most practical would be the evo or sti they're quick and capable of any weather condition but they aren't as fun u just gas and Go rear wheel drive requires a little skill to drive and will always keep u on your tippy toes I say the z all day. As for the Hyundai I can't say much cuz am not to familiar with them I personally would take all the cars over the Hyundai tho Subaru and Nissan are very reliable mitsubishis are ok but Hyundai hasnt really ever been a real player in the car game till recently
the godzilla Z!!! much more better you can also make it a drift car.
Hope u went with the evo
370z!
i would say the Z or try to get the evo in manual. manual is so much more involved im driving. the subaru is a huge money pit, especially with mods on it. and the gen is amazing as well, but you just switched from a gen, but if thats what you wanna stick with, its perfect. but change is good as well. so again, probably the Z or the evo, if you can get it in manual
i hope u got the evo bro, i have the evo and my next car is def the 370z
Anyone else notice that FMIC hiding there in the WRX? I'd reckon that thing is likely pushing 300WHP+ easy. You don't put an FMIC in a WRX if you're not already doing some nice power upgrades ;)
I would say the GenCoupe, they are so amazing, I have one and I love it, great cars, really reliable, fun and easy to work on, but you already know that cause you've had one, but on the other hand Evo's are amazing! Those are my 2 picks
370zsport for sure! I have a 2020 370z sport/touring an awesome machine,no regrets!!!
I ended up buying a 370z, then traded for a 370z nismo and then traded for my current GTR! But the Z's are so much fun I might have to get another one some day!
I wish the EVO looked good. Get the WRX.
congrats on whatever you choose... but id get them in this order 1. 370z 2. Evo 3. Genesis 4. wrx/sti
370z way to go bro. I own a genesis 3.8 and I already want to switch to a Z
Z hands down, might be the least usable (lack of trunk space, 2 seats), but it can't be beat for the performance and reliability combo.
