The converse? I've been driving Honda Accords the last 2.5 years and they are GREAT cars, but I want to shoot myself with how sedate the drive is
The MR would be the best of both worlds... Then again I have a GTR on order

Thanks for the review, I cant wait to drive one! I for one LOVED the GSR. People who have never driven the X saying this car is watered down are nuts. While maybe a few tenths slower than the previous gen, it still kicks plenty of ***!
Most people also dont know about how awesome the twin clutch system is. Basically, one clutch controls gears 1, 3 and 5 while the other controls 2, 4 and 6. While you are in one gear, the next is all ready to go as fast as you can hit the paddle, no delay at all. While maybe not as "fun" to drive, its surely more effective and I love it personally.
I cannot wait to drive the MR in that super sport mode!!

wow, can't wait to trade my ms3 for x mr
I was gonna settle on the gsr, but after reading this, the mr is my choice. plus you can be sure the aftermarket will improve on the sst. no more shifting. best of both world's...

Same here. After reading the review and the posts I'm leaning more towards the MR as well. One question I have though is how is the SST in stop and go traffic? I've read some other posts saying that there are some issues.....

in stop and go traffic it's smooth, but at times if feels like someone is manually shifting into first gear. Only thing I dislike, is the delay before it launches from first gear when stepping on the gas. It feels like a novice burning the clutch. I'm not sure why mitsubishi build the car this way. Every other standard automatic just launches as soon as you press the gas. MR X feels like you need someone to push you to get started. Its irritating when wanting to gun the car off the line.
