Thinking about buying a new Evo 13

Hi guys I am new here, just looking for some ideas. I am going to buy a new 2013 Evo and not sure if I should buy the MS or not? I do really want a Stick. Other then have the paddle shift and dressed a little better on the inside ate there any other big differences?

Thanks

The MR is dressed a little better on the inside? What do you mean? The difference, besides the Auto, is the rims and lack of spoiler. If you get the MR with the touring package then the MR gets the Eibbachs and the additional sound dampening. But the GSR SL package will also get the sound dampening.

If you want stick, then get the GSR

I went MR because I didn't want a 5-speed (I would have taken a 6-speed manual) and I wanted the Touring package. Extra sound dampening, auto-headlights and wipers, heated side mirrors, auto-dimming mirror. Unless you're planning on a very high power build (which the SST is arguably capable of handling fairly high numbers) the decision is purely preference and what extras you want.

FYI, all MR's have the Bilstein and Eibach set up, it's not a touring package option.

Thanks for the info. I have not driven the MR yet but tomorrow when I go to the dealership I am going to drive the MR before I sign anything just to make sure I am getting exactly what I want.
How is the paddle shift on the MR? Only paddle I have driven was an M3 SMG, I do love the SMG with being able to get a good jump of the line.
I will be driving an EVO home tomorrow I will let you all know what I decide. The. I'm going to need to get ideas of where to start building her!!

I bought a 13, and I prefer a manual. I also changed to the TWM Short Shifter =D. The oem shifter just sucks...its like really wierd coming from a s2k. It feels sloppy. TWM short shifter is what it should have had from the factory. But any how its a race car, you should be shifting gears.
