Galant VR4 or V8 Soarer

I'm thinking of getting a second car its the Mitsubishi VR4 vs V8 Soarer. I'm thinking the Soarer would be more comfortable, but wouldn't be much fun to drive?? VR4 has 4 doors and from what I've heard quite fast?
I want something comfortable but also entertaining to drive. What you guys think?

The only reason I'm thinking about buying a VR4 is there is one for sale that have only done 40000ks, which is basically new.
I guess I'll just keep looking, hopefully I'll find something good in my price range. Thanks for all your opinion.

In my biased opinion....I say go the VR-4.
Although my personal favourite is the HJ Galant...and I'm pretty sure there was a 4WD V6 turbo/twin turbo model....just food for thought

In that case go for it, if the price is still cheap.
But be prepared to spend $2k + for suspension mods, if you enjoy driving. 
No matter how good the condition is in, you will have to wait ages for it to sell in a few years time as they are not very popular, and you will get screwed down for the $ you get in the end just to get rid of it. So make sure you bargain down the price if you buy it.
Check the bottoms of the A pillars for cracks/rust. Also around the boot openings and under the rubber seal.
