Regrets?

Do you guys who bought a GSR regret later not getting the MR?
Also, the ones who have the MR, any regrets later about not picking up a GSR?
Reasons please.

Thanks

Sorry if this has already been posted.

I don't regret saving a few thousand dollars going with the GSR rather than the MR.

No regrets getting the MR. The interior looks much better, heated recaro seats, and of course the TC-SST.

I wish they made an option for the GSR for the nicer MR heated leather/suede seats. Biggest thing I like better about the MR and man is it expensive to upgrade.

I'd like the leather from the MR, but I can deal with it perfectly fine... 5 spd that can hold A LOT more power? Ease of replacing in case the tranny happens to go, etc... the MR is very nice, but no, I don't give it a second thought. I got my GSR for 31k OTD... what would have been my best price on the MR that I couldn't add those few things I might like to have with the difference?

no regrets here too. Bought manual to be traditional. Only suggestion to mitsu was they should have made a 6 speed manual instead of 5.

Sometimes I miss the driver engagement that a manual provides but a flick of the paddles takes care of that. Overall, no regrets with a MR

I only bought the car because it had a manual transmission option...if they only offered automatic, I would have stuck with my Acura TL.

Admittedly, the reason I didn't buy the Evolution X back in '07/08 was because I thought it only came with the TC-SST option (stupid mitsubishi and their crappy website). And of course, I've never tried the TC-SST option...so my opinion is rather biased.

You can upgrade to heated leather (not suede) for about $1500. I had the dealer throw it in on my GSR.
