A little regret on getting my car instead of saving up to buy a house, but that fades away at 26 PSI of boost, haha.

I don't regret NOT buying the MR, but I do wish we had the seats with the same material and I believe the door panels too.

I also don't regret NOT getting the SSS package however driving with halogens..... SUCKS monkey b*lls!!!! I just didn't want anything else that came with the SSS package. Bought the SSL package for the IX back in 06' and besides the headlights, what a waste of money.

I don't ever want an Evo an automatic of any kind. Period.

So after saying that, I do wish I had the MR Touring interior. I saw one at the dealership and loved it. I also got the SSS and wouldn't have bought the X without it.

The only time I regret getting my GSR, when I want my wife to drive it and enjoy the road. She likes it, but is typically reluctant to drive it with the baby on board. If I had an MR I'm sure she wouldn't hesitate.

...Then again, this is probably a good thing.

Wow, really interested in this. Am going to have to do some digging. That may be the first thing I do.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, what is the "other" forum?

Yeah I did at first . The clutch thing I told myself " **** I should have got the MR I wouldn't have to worry about replacing the clutch on the ****ing GSR, ****!" now I'm like "**** those MR trannys have mini clutches and they burn out too like regular clutches, I think?" Can someone tell if the MR clutches also burn up like GSR clutches? So I can like my GSR more? If the MR clutches don't burn up than I like the MR more

When I'm stuck in gridlock, I would rather have the MR. When writing my car payment check, I'm fine with my GSR.

The clutches will wear out. They are "clutches".

There are some people with GSR's that ruined their clutch before 10k miles. But I did say "ruined". That has to do with drivers error. The GSR clutch isn't that bad. Even though I'm sure it would wear out before the MR's clutches. And its ALOT cheaper to replace a GSR clutch than the MR's. Then there is the price difference between the new trans fluid, and it goes on and on.. Just look up how much that is for an MR compared to the $35 fluid we need.

I can't imagine having the Evo without the 5spd.

Absolutely no regrets with getting the GSR.

It really comes down to what you are looking for...buy the one that fits you best.
