I love the Evo's. Always have. Always will. The biggest thing for me is that I just couldn't justify the price for what it offered. It's a fun car, but no folding rear seats, all plastic interior that never stops rattling, and running 4k RPMs at 75mph on the freeway (in the 5spd GSR) made me opt against it. Plus, the 15MY doesn't even have Recaros anymore

Out of those three options, I'd have to lean towards the SS side, simply because I personally feel like it offers more for the money as an all around car.

But, I also agree with what was previously said: Take all three for a good test drive and see how well it would fit with your wants and needs from a new vehicle.

Best of luck!

Don't get the MR. Get the GSR. The manual in the GSR is stronger then the MR.

Yep, that's when you put the back seat down, open up the trunk and stick them into "pa-pa's hatchback", where they have their very own skylight ........

(just kidding - don't turn me into CPS)

Damn, normally I do know how to use it except for this one lol good catch!

I do agree on the test drive also, don't do it just once or twice. Drive all 3 as much as you can to get the feel of it after a while.

Well, now, @NahumCC ....... let me share this piece of advice about that.

After 50 years of marriage (to two different women), I learned that this phrase works best:

"Yes, dear, you are absolutely right ...... I'm an ass hole"

(in a medium voice, with puppy dog eyes and head slightly lowered)

Then, DO NOT walk away ....... because she will feel she is not done with you ..... but, after she realizes what you just said ...... she will stop.

The 3 options are in completely different classes. So I'd say u have to decide what your priorities are..

As a father of 2 my suggestion is a car that is higher off the ground, so u save your lower back.

We had an 09 civic sedan with my first kid and BOTH of hurt our backs with all of the in/out while twisting. Despite being someheatcfit, we each slipped a lumbar disc. We manage now but for the 2nd kid we got an SUV.

So what do you want?
Performance
Handling
Creature comforts (dual zone climate, heated seats, power options etc.)
Gas mileage?

Somewhere u have to pick and prioritize what you want, that will guide your decision.

We ended up going with a loaded Santa fe cause we wanted all the creature comforts, 3rd row for future expansion, awd, decent power and of course lumbar support :-) what I sacrificed was handling and gas mileage. And no street cred lol

Haha, I do that and it doesn't work yet after being together 10 years (married 6 in april out of the 10)...........Haze Gray and underway is the only way out at that point and my present duty station doesn't permit that.

All the same I love her.

The child comes first man, use your discount for a personal preference within the options the discount will cover. Kids don't come cheap.

You have a kid on the way, this isn't about you anymore.

Is the FRS the only car? If so, yeah, you are going to need to get rid of it. If not, change the other car

. I'm the baby carrier with the FRS

. I take her to daycare every morning and pick her up at night. It works great, but their is no room for a passenger with a rear facing seat.
