CTR vs Type S

[TypeRD]

I tried on both (came from other sports cars):
1. FL5 doesn't have glued on rear hips. I hate glued on things.
2. FL5 has way better seats and, to me, a more classic interior...it says 993....to me.
3. LogR gauges. I like gauges.
4. I like the white...historic.
5. I like the wheels on the FL5 more.
6. The stereo is actually better in the FL5 if you really work at evaluating them....this was confirmed by serious analysis by savagegeese.
7. I got the FL5 ctr for 500 over msrp!
8. More honda dealers than acura dealers...

Define “better” stereo. Audio quality is pretty subjective with various measurable parameters, so I’m curious to know what savagegeese scientifically “proved.” Materially, there’s no chance the FL5’s Blose drivers are better than what the Acura has. I honestly don’t think drivers can be made more cheaply than what Bose has done and still be functional. Note, I have an FL5.

You’re kinda wasting your time. Everyone knows that guys comment was full of shit bro. Not only does the savage geese video support which is the better system. There are folks who have been able to hear both. Myself included.

Yeah…I figured as much. The reference to savagegeese saying it is “better” is what triggered my further questioning. Better at what? In what way? What objective tests were performed to come to this odd conclusion?

I hear ya. I don’t think the fl5 set up is horrid. It’s actually ok. Just definitely not as good as what the type s has

I’m sure a little bit of money can make the fl5 set up sound amazing. For sure.

Yeah. No it’s not horrid. I don’t hate it. But I know it’s definitely not premium as people sometimes (mis)associate with Bose.

When I think of Bose, I think of Paul Harvey.

When I purchased, 11 months ago, I test drove a DE5 first. That test drive experience is what confirmed my decision to buy the FL5 new, without being able to take it on a test drive. No mistake was made.

Neither is 'better' than the other in this case. Do you want a more "adult" sports car? Softer ride? more comfy seats? More 'creature comforts'? Or.....do you want a more track focused beast?

I wanted THE TYPE R! Stiffer. Track focused. Pure performance. Always wanted one. So get the car that suits what YOU want in a ride. Daily driver? Track car? Just depends on what you are looking for....

However...for all that money more for a Type S? No thanks. I'll put it into making the Type R even faster!
