That is the most ridiculous comparison. Do you realize neither one of those resemble a street driven vehicle, other than 4 wheels? No one is claiming the Dual clutch tranny autos are inferior. My opinion and no one elses...it's just more engaging, more fun to drive a manual. Just because F1 uses autos doesn't mean it's more fun or engaging. I guess you're missing the point of driving if you're using that comparison as to why DCT is better than manuals. So let me guess. You race for a trophy/podium everytime you drive your MR/SE. Absurd.

 

drive them both. By the time your done, you should know which one you want

 

I would totally do it again! I already have a 5 speed pontiac sunfire. I don't need another 5 speed. If it had been a six speed manual would have done it in a heart beat. The thing is this on the highway the GSR is way to f***ing loud. It needs the sixth gear. Get an MR problem solved. Also I like the fact that there are not that many MR tourings out there.

As many have mentioned you have to drive the car and see what suits you. I love the fact that for under $45K I have a dual clutch transmission. Similar to what is found in supercars, you can't beat that. So I was sold. Mind you I drove both the MR and the GSR. I found the 08 MR SST to be rather harsh so I waited til 2010 to pick it up. Whatever Mitsubishi did from 2008-2010, the SST is leaps and bounds better in the 2010 than the 2008 MR models.
