Yeah I was saying that it's not spartan enough. Saying the newer ones are soft. Sorry for misunderstanding.

The car I drive all the time might as well be the fun one - make time spent commuting, running errands something to look forward to.

You always hear "I love driving stick but eh, I do too much city driving/commuting so I'd rather have auto." I don't doubt someone when they say that but I've found it exact opposite. Even in bumper to bumper traffic, seems like fiddling with a stick helps pass the time and miles (or feet really, in that circumstance.) The more enjoyable the shift the better.. I hear there's nothing better than CTR. I've only shifted one around at an auto show. Felt good, I expect like most vehicles (Hondas especially it seems) it will feel a lot different while driving.

I mean, the Type R models had sound deadening removed, AC removed, window thinner glass, and in some cases no power steering. They were intentionally spartan. The R stood for racing and many of the models were ready to go out of the box (*other than brakes, haha)
