I don't plan to upgrade hence I chose MR over GSR. Test drive both, I felt more home with 6 speed than 5 speed. I don't mind shifting! Beside, "MR" represents...
If you are planning on upgrading, forget about spending more money on "MR". Get RS and soooooup it up!

In my opinion, you upgrade MR you are throwing $ into a trash can... Yes, I know you could sell the parts but it is well balanced car from the factory with a warranty.... As soon as you upgrade you are also throwing away the excellent Mitsu warranty....

Just my 2 cents..

 

The minute you put wider stickier tires on your MR your suspension will be overworked.

This is a reposted vid (for those that haven't seen it). Interesting video which shows some differences between the MR and GSR.

that was a really good video

 

Sometimes it comes down to what a person can afford. Everyone has a comfort zone with payments, etc. that shouldn't enter in to it, but it does for many when choosing GSR over MR. Just my .02 worth!
