Canadian dealer asked what colour Type R I want

What about your rear bumper to taillight?

that pic does look problematic, mine didnt have as much. But i do see some gaps.
Would have to compare with Ctr but honest owners have also mentioned gaps existing there sproadically.

You mentioned ITS fixed some of the issues CTR had, if you don't mind telling me those. I think one thing I'm aware of is ride quality, I know this can be softer, any others? I personally don't mind the hard ride, mind you our roads are crap so I might change my opinion.

Thanks

tire compound is different for softer ride. heated seats, heated steering wheel, etc.

Ah okay, ya all things I could care less for. I'll take those red seats over anything heated ;p few more months we should get the 2024s... Let's just hope something changes so these dealerships stop hording cars. Let's go recession!!! Jk lol

Yea it’s very hit and miss on that. That pic is from another car sitting at a dealer. Mine isn’t as bad as that

Better side bolstering on seat

better sound, chosen on various modes

feel’s faster, more hp

Have you had a comparable amount of seat time in both the FL5 and DE5?

I feel like this requires clarification
Better side bolstering on seat (vs the base or Aspec Integra)

better sound, chosen on various modes (subjective)

feel’s faster, more hp (5 hp difference, the, "feel" is a tune and throttle mapping.)

Not that Im championing for either vehicle, but we're talking about twins here.

The real world difference is subjectively whether you value specific creature comforts, and can stomach looking at one more than the other.

The CTR is a vehicle made with Japanese sensibilities, spartan, quiet, precise, aesthetically subdued and efficient.

The ITS is a vehicle made with North American sensibilities, heavier, raucous, comfier and subjectively more eye catching.

Pick your poison, neither car is going to change your life lmao.

When we say heavier, its 30lbs

5hp difference apparently feels significant.

both incredible. Cant go wrong

Yes 30lbs, heavier was just a generalization to make a North American point, since it was developed by the U.S. team.

The majority of the differences are incremental and some can be swapped between platforms, or achieved with tuning.

People need to get on with their lives over which is better lol.

Pick the one you can stand to look back at every time you park it and get out, or whichever is available haha.

This! Well said, couldn't have put it better.

People need to lay this to rest . Stop inflating what you bought (ITS or CTR) to justify your decision. Its fine, we love both. Can we move on lol?

There's a great comparison that SG posted here a while back which they didn't mention in their very detailed review.

Are the side mirrors power folding?

No just manual sadly

I just completed a 2200km road trip Across America, will share a more detailed write-up once I get the chance. Some pics at the last pit stop at a gas station in Oaklahoma near Texas

I see you don't have your front license plate and you're from Ontario. Any idea what your plans are for it? I can't figure it out yet. I don't really want it in the middle and there's not a lot of room for side mount. I also can't find the tow hook access through the bumper based on documentation and there's no custom kits for this car yet.
