Swapped 2010 MR for 2011 GSR

I just traded in my 1.5 month old PB 2010 MR for WW 2011 GSR.

Some of you know I had 06 STi prior to the MR and coming from a stick shift car I just couldnt get used to the paddle shifters...Yes I was upside down a little but hefty down payment I did for MR helped a lot and ended up with lower payments.

GSR has SSS, aero-kit and chrome (yeah I know) package. Chrome package consists of chrome mirror covers and RalliArt lug nuts which I like. Need to get cf mirror covers to cover those hideous chrome on the mirrors.

Without further adieu:

My old STi



MR:




and GSR:

Should have kept the MR wheels and put on Enkies before the trade in.

Shoulda walked then until they did. In this down economy you are in charge. Bad deal anyway, they are going to flip that MR and make some nice cash.


.......but as long as you are happy.

Yeah I am def happy. This what I wanted, I should have gotten GSR initially. It was my mistake.

Yup it was only for 5 speed. I jus love clutch action.


-MR is just better car than GSR hands down. Interior looks much better with leather seats and everything. Not to mention BBS's, two-piece rotors, better insulation, blistein shocks.
-MR shifts faster and everything but it kinda takes the fun out of driving.
-For the power I will be in the future, manual transmission suits better for me since SST is not fully developed yet. Also, I dont know if my tuner could tune sst.
