see if you can find a used one to test drive and compare it with the GSr and decide which one you like better. Just depends on what exactly you want. I thought it was!

Now, the best one to get is the SE. The SE makes the MR no longer necessary unless you want the Bilsteins, but you can buy those for $600-700 from someone like me.

IMO, the MR isnt worth it, you get the crappy 6 speed, and the Mr emblems whooo hooo lol, I would get the GSR so you have the 5 speed way better and you will have that extra 5000.00 GL>

Just so you know, this has been covered numerous times ... but I'd have to say, no it's not worth it. What do you get? A six speed with worse gas mileage and durability problems at high power and torque, aluminum roof, HID's, name-brand shocks. The shocks are nice, I'll give you that, but in my opinion, the GSR gives you everything you need.

Or if you're like me and that extra stuff gets you going, go for the Special Edition (SE model) $1500 gets you an MRed GSR, minus shocks and 6 speed, plus the sweet red stitching and cool lip. Just my opinion.

GSR, SE, and MR's are for pansies... J/K!

Seriously...its all about the RS, although I have to admit, I miss having power windows, locks, and mirrors.

remember, if you want one in a color other than black, silver, or grey, you can't get an SE. (red, blue, white) So, if you are shooting for:

Blue = GSR
White = GSR or MR
Red = GSR or MR
Black = GSR / MR / SE / MR +(appearance package)
Grey = GSR / MR / SE / MR +(appearance package)
Silver = GSR / MR / SE / MR +(appearance package)

That being said, I would get an SE if it's in the color you like. If you want white or red i would get an MR. If you want blue...well then you get a gsr.

evodude ftw lol

Get the GSR. Like people have said the MR isn't worth it.

MR is worth it. I have no regrets in getting mine. Had a choice of all 3. Dont care what people say. The 6 speed is nice, Bilsteins are nice. The ROOF has a purpose. mR all the way. HID's are very precise. Dosent fade into the darkness. You can see POT HOLES and all types of debris on the road at night. very clear. They are adjustable too. Vortex generator. The SE is nice. I didnt get it cause its not 6speed. Honestly alot of the high performance cars coming out now a days are 6speed. Who wants to be stuck with a 5?

I would agree on the people with this. GSR and save that 5 grand GSR SE would be the way to go. With that 5k shipped it to 02191. Thanks in advice.
