Mr vs Mr gouring

Is it possible to order the mr touring with the wing. Also I wanna known if the leather recaros are better and more comfy than the regular recaros.
Also does having a sunroof reduce performance.
And is The extra soundinsulation worth it.

If I want RF audio. Wing, premium tyres and brakes and struts, don't really need sunroof, are leather seats possible on an mr. I don't really need navigation. And definitely the sst transmission

Among these specs which one will suit me the most, mr mrt or se and can I make small added upgrades in each

So with these specs which one is better

If i was you I would go with the MR. The seats are leather in it, it has more sound deadning then the GSR and I think meets the requirements you have.

+1

If you are considering an MR model but really want the wing and don't care much for the sunroof, then just save the money and get the MR rather than the MR Touring. The interior fabrics used in the MR (which are pretty much the same as what was used across the IX lineup) are pretty nice.

If you really want a wing you're pretty much stuck with an MR, as far as I know the SE and MR-T do not even have that option. The only reason you should consider a MR-T is if you want a classier Evo, and since you want a wing too I think you're like me... Someone in the transition stage of their life from boy racer to working professional. I just bought a 08 MR and I'm torn between wanting to remove my wing and leaving it on. I love the way it looks but it seriously limits your visibility to the rear and you can safely assume most older people will think it's boyish. Just food for thought.... I think I will be leaving mine on because I know as I reach elderly age I won't give two sh*ts about what people think of me anyway, so why start now?

The Recaros.... Well I'm 5'9 155lbs and I LOVE the Recaro seats. I fall into that group of people that think the car is hugging me. It's got an angry front end that looks like it's saying "F*CK YOU" but once I sit in those seats it feels like it's saying "I LOVE YOU B*TCH". I have sat in the regualr lancer seats when I test drove a Ralliart and they feel like they look - regular seats - not bad not good. If you're thinking about going with the Recaro seats you should know that the only way to adjust the seat height is by adjusting some bolts or something. I didn't need to do this since the seats were at the perfect height for me already. Also for the 08 MRs for sure and maybe the 10 MRs the Recaros aren't full leather. The MR-T I believe is. Not a big issue for me since I like how the suede grips.

I can't say much about the sound insulation but I can tell you that my Evo is noisy on the highways. It doesn't seem much worse than my old RSX but I'm holding back any final conclusions until I replace my stock Advans, which according to a lot of people here wear out fast and are noisy... Both true.

Sunroofs don't really reduce performance, they just increase weight. If this is going to be your DD and you like to take long trips in your car then just get a sunroof, why not? I don't have one and I don't really miss it but..... There are a few times where I wish I had one....Few....But they happen.

I hope I didn't bore you to death, but I went through this personal battle as well. I was thinking about the MR-T HARD but in the end I got an amazing deal for my MR and price was a big factor for me. If you have the skills to pay the bills just buy the MR-T and swap out the trunk. You'll love this car no matter what you decide!
