evo x mr for sure!!

 

i was able to get a brochure on the 2010 evo and was looking at the differences and now i'm definately set on the MR. partial leather interior, heated seats, BBS wheels, bilstein and eibach suspension, extra sound deadening, slightly better fuel economy, slightly better brakes (i think... 2-piece ventilated?).

can someone clarify for me weather the fast key on the MR is standard or is it only included with the rockford upgraded stereo package? thats the only thing i was unsure about.

 

Not sure about the fast key, but I think the heated seats are only on the Touring edition. If you get the standard edition, no heated seats. You won't need them though. The leather is on the out side. The alcantra (sp) is very soft and warm like micro fiber.

 

I would go for the Evo GSR with SSS and Areo package. I just think the MR is not worth it. Unless, you have no problem dishing out the extra dough and then keep it stock, then I guess I don't see an issue.

 

Why would you keep it stock? MRs are handling 400+whp just fine.

 

there is no aero package on the GSR this year. you needs to do some studyin' buoy! as for the fast key it seems like the brochure i'm reading says the fast key only comes with the nav package, so yea. i actually don't want the fast key believe it or not.

yea i'll keep with my decision on the MR as 400whp is insanely enough for me. i'm coming from a 09 GTS that has 168 crank hp and probably 120 whp with that cvt tranny in it. this evo will feel like a god damn space ship once i drive it. funnily enough, the GTS actually has a 20% larger engine in it.

 

Dude if you have the dough, go for the MR!

 

Get whatever works best for you! You'll be the one behind the wheel


Hmmmm, that is total news to me! I just assumed that all MR's come with heated seats!

my brochure for the 2010 evo lineup says the GSR has no enhanced sound dampening, the MR has added sound dampening, and the MR touring has a lot of sound dampening. only thing i dont like about the touring is the tiny spoiler. they should at least have the large spoiler optional

 

I would go with the gsr w/ the sss package. I regret not getting the sss package, just because I dont have HID's. The sound part it "meh" to me, but installing hid's on this car is probably going to cost as much as the sss package.

 

I wouldn't go Touring just because of the steel roof and added weight that makes it top heavy. Go regular MR

 

yea i was planning on the base MR. i hear herzog meier took over the beaverton mitsu just today

 

That would be great if so... I thought beaverton mitsu was dead.

 

Ah, I didn't know that MRs didn't come with heated seats! When I got mine, I didn't get any choice on options as it was fully loaded. Had no clue that most of the options would eventually show up in the 2010 touring. Is the fabric material on the MR seats leather or cloth?
