How do you REALLY like your MR on a scale of 1 to 10?

What's the good, and whats the Bad?

I may drive the MR LAST, and the Vette and Sti beforehand.
Sure, it will at least give you a feel for an Evo. I usually go to the Wednesday night MNSC meets at Culvers off of Bass Lake RD and 494 if you want to stop by.

From 1 to 10, I like it a 10; if it wasn't so ugly I'd give it an 11. It's just put together so well it's hard to describe. Everything works well together. A lot of people say it's a "driver's car" and some put it ahead of the exotics they've owned or driven as far as the sheer joy and ease of driving it.

It really is a purpose built race car though, so if you like to cruise a Vette would be a better choice. The Evo is ugly and rides relatively harsh. Especially the regular Evo dampers (the MR's are a little softer) [a regular Evo with lowering springs will probably knock your teeth out]. My MR has relatively expensive coilovers though, and even though it's lowered I think it rides even slightly softer then the Bilsteins.
