You heard right. No moonroof(pro or con depending on prefference). Preety much everything else is a pro. That and the price. That's a big con depending on what you're doing with it. If it's a daily or something of that nature/keeping the power closer to stock then grab it. But if you're mod ***** like me i wouldn't really bother.

This thread is going to be shut down real fast bc this has been covered so many times...cons to the mr. hmmm well the 6-speed can be both a pro and a con depending on how you look at it. Sometimes I wouldnt mind having that 6th gear. There have been stories of issues with 4th gear on the 6 speed. People are overheating it. If you dont abuse your car and arent a road racer then i wouldnt worry about it. Plus you get a few extra goodies with the MR such as an aluminum rood. No sunroof on that model though which I would miss.

Do some research. There is a wealth of knowledge on this forum

They also forgot to mention that cute little synchro for the 6th gear. Which looooves to give you a hard time.

There are no cons to an MR. It's an overall nicer package and I wouldn't hesitate to grab one over a regular Evo. Those who tell you otherwise are infatuated with the issues people have had with the tranny when tracking their car.
