No notciable difference, IMO get a MR or wait for new model...

Default MR is an absolute waste of $, RS is WAY better for the $

i mean 28k for a RS out the door or 40+ for a MR....do the math

10k in mods in that car= FAST as ****

Default Umm the most...

expensive mr ive seen is 34 or so and if you have driven all three their is a difference small but noticable and not to mention it is definitely more livable as a daily drivedr, plus with the IX coming it will have much better resale value... Though if i were him i'd hang on and get the IX its suppose to be here end of summer/beginning of fall.

Default I didn't think it felt as fast as my car

I doubt you would feel the difference. I know with $2500 in mods it's high 12's on pump gas fast.

Default have you seen the article on the IX? its not that impressive....03 RS is the way to go.

if you buy an evo, and want comfort, you are buying the wrong car to begin with. If i bought an evo, id want the lightest, most agile one with gobs of hp. RS + turbo upgrade and full suspension would do the trick, plus its already stripped.
