The really sad part is that I'm considering spending the 3k extra (or whatever) just to have them even though I know I'll hate the auto climate control (I like how the auto CC looks though, much nicer than the manual because of the switchgear under it). Push button start is a take it or leave it for me. Fog lights at best just means I don't have to make holes in the bumper for brake ducts, just remove the fog lights and attach the duct

climate control can be used as a regular unit. at least in the cars i've used it in. so you don't have to set the temp and ignore it you can just use it like a conventional A/C and heating unit.

I dunno fellas, I guess at this stage in my life (closer to 30 then I care to admit) I feel like less is more...

In Japan the newer Civic Type-R is probably better handling technically

In the US I agree though. My modified GS-R was/is never as fun to drive or produces as fast of laptimes as my basically stock ITR. I remember when I first autocrossed a stock ITR and beat my modified (180whp, bilstein/ground control suspension (450/650 spring rates), big rear sway bar, *R COMPS*, etc) GS-R by just over 1 second.. I remember thinking "wtf. I need one." :P

lol at this stage in my life (close to mid 30s than I care to admit :P ) I'm fine with paying more to have seat warmers :P

That's one of the great thing about this car though, with three different equipment levels for the same exact car basically everyone can get what they want.. maybe not exactly, but close enough.

[mines13]

very true.

[TylerLieberman]

Very nice review. Its nice to see real opinions and facts about a car and see what people have found that they didnt like. It gives a sense that the car is more real cause lets be honest, no matter what car you own, youll always find sonething you dont like or feel could be better.

Either way, this car is looking to be more and more awesome

Would hate for you to be cold in your swimsuit on those chilly low 80 degree days

I can't imagine its not that hard to chirp Prius tires.

Finally someone understands!!

[WingsofWar]

Dave...i totally understand..i love me some seat warmers. I still use my seat warmers in my Legacy during the summer. even if the seats already hot from the sun.

..If only it gave massages and a blow job..and made sammmiches. Then i would never leave that seat.

lol everyone thinks I'm crazy but I love heated seats.

Here you go Dave-ROR..

heated seat pads for under $100, and OEM seat switches for another $100.

install guide from NASIOC.

Now you can keep your butt warm, and save $2800.
