Evo MR and SSL package question

On 's site when you go to build and price and hit reg. IX you can select SSL. When you hit MR you cant ("Your selection comes fully equipped; no additional option packages are available."), but in the decription of the car it decribes a non SSL ("140-watt CD audio system with six speakers", no sunroof talked about)


What's the deal? I wasn't under the impression MR came standard with SSL, or samely that you couldn't get it...

It doesn't get SSL. It does get a crappy, base sound system with a cd player, though.

MR don't come with SSL. I got the SSL IX. The stereo absolutely sucks. Actually, i think the stereo in my old '04 evo was better than the premium SSL stereo. You can barely hear the sub, the sub distorts easily, and no midbass whatsoever in the interior speakers. However, the leather, sunroof, and HID are very nice...

^^Nope....That's why I opted for the '05 SSL. I was going to change out everything anyways and wanted a sunroof and leather. To me all that $$$ just to only end up with a 6 speed didn't seem worth it.

Sunroof doesn't really mean anything to me, but I'm a fan of leather. But I would take 6 speed/blistens/shark fins(the votex things) over SSL.

The HID's did it for me. I kinda like sunroofs, could have done with out it. I knew the sterero would be weak and would get removed. I thought the leather was okay, but mainly because it covered the blue in the seats which I always hated. The new IX seats look good tho'. The HID's, I just could not do without.

Luckily, for those of us who DID get MRs, we got more than just a 6spd for the extra cost...

Yeah, you got extra weight too. Shoulda saved the money and bought a clue.

He SAID he was changing out everything the MR came with EXCEPT the 6 speed.

Read that last one repeatedly until it sinks through.

Good decision dadriva.

eh? I didn't get the extra weight; he did. You do know the GSR w/SSL is the heaviest possible Evo, right?

I'm not concerned if he was going to change out the lightweight BBS rims, the lightweight aluminum roof (nope, got the heavy sunroof), and the awesome Bilstein shocks. I just said that "luckily," that's not all we got for the extra cost.

Something must be wrong with yours. I was in my buddys 2003 EVO and the system was awful. Im impressed with mine (SSL 315 watt one)
