must be more than just the shape. OK they do look like an MX Lancer but still.

I would happily have a 4 over a 3, but the 2, 5, 6.5, 9 and X are my favourites.
The 4 was the first get get heavier without much of a power increase, though the 4 moved to a better chassis, better engine/gearbox and slightly larger brakes. The 5 made that setup even better with a much wider track and even larger Brembo brakes.

getting a 4 would be good bang for buck, they would be one of the cheapest to buy and with bolt-ons cast away from Evo5/6/7/8 owners they would be just as capable.

Are they the ones with the AYC issues!

yes. usually prevented by changing the fluid when it's meant to be changed. Can be solved by fitting a later model Evo5/6 rear diff. Same AYC diff is used in the 8G Galant and Legnum VR-4s. My last '96 Legnum VR-4 with over 200,000kms had the AYC 'groan' when you accelerated quickly around corners, but other than the groan the diff functioned exactly as it should have.

I suspect one of the reasons they are so cheap is so many of them are totally rooted. I'm not that much of a fan to be honest but it has always been a crying shame watching each generation of evo enter the country, filter down to the usual wankers and then end up destroyed, seems more so than most sports cars. A real shame indeed.

Didnt evo 4 engines have problems with the crank thrust bearings!

No more so than any other 93ish onwards 7-bolt 4G63. The issue arises when a much heavier than normal pressure plate is fitted, and/or is poorly serviced and the thrust washers wear out excessively. It helps to not start the car with the clutch pedal pressed to the floor also.

The Evo 4 was a big change model, and as previously mentioned, the AYC issues.They on average are a bit more of a problem child than the 1-2-3 or the 5-6-6.5.So, they're cheaper because they're considered to be more likely to empty your bank account.
With all cars though, you're going to get good and bad ones.Also considering how old they are, you're in for an ex-boyracer treatment lottery.
Personally I don't mind them at all, so long as they haven't had the wing taken off, massive chromies for the homies fitted, and clear tail lights put in.

That's not what the homologation papers say! bear in mind not all E38A/E39As are Evolution models.
