Thoughts? New 2015 GSR or Final Edition?

Hey guys,

Just wanted to get some opinions from you guys. I have been looking for a new Evo for a while now. I have been looking at the FE but found a new 2015 GSR with the premium package. I do like the sunroof and heated leather seats in the GSR but not sure if that out weighs what the FE has such as the black headliner, etc. Now if the prices were the same, which one would you purchase?

Thanks in advance.

Tyler

I'd get the final edition just because it would have a higher resale later. If you don't intend to get rid of it, get the GSR as I love having a sunroof and leather etc..

If you're going to get a 2015, you pretty much have to get an FE. Its a no-brainer at this point

If you are not going to cut into it and mess it all up with half *** mods, I'd get the FE, but if you plan on destroying it, why pay a little extra when your resale is never going to be that great anyway.

The general market of car buyers even for this car wants a used example to be stock, or as close to stock as possible. (even if they plan on modding it themselves down the line)

A stock final edition several years from now will fetch a slight premium over non FE versions.

How can you even compare a FWD car to an AWD car?

I was set on an FE until they offered me a '15 GSR with a huge discount. I knew I would ruin a FE with mods so I saved money and got the GSR. No regerts

I'd vote GSR with premium package since you like the heated seats and sunroof. Eventually you will be bitten by the mod bug. Mod to your heart's content with a GSR.

FE would be nice! Sticker price is so high though, you could get a nice evo Ix for cheaper

Neither car has Recaros. I live in NY without heated seats and haven't thought twice. Personally, I wouldn't want a sunroof on an Evo. The whole center of gravity thing and future issues of it leaking.
