It's a Type R! It should never have heated seats. Heck, it has more than enough electronics and added weight already.

My s2000 had all new front rubber bushings, tie rods, rigid collars(+stiffer steering rack bushings), and the steering in the CTR is sharper than the s2000 in +R and Sport modes. The steering ratio/weight becomes progressively slower/lighter as you go down to sport and comfort modes though. Neither cars offer real feedback, and you have to rely on the chassis for information at the limit.

I will say the CTR is MUCH faster and has MUCH better brakes. VTEC in the s2000 feels uneventful now, other than the glorious sound. Exhaust sound is probably the worst part of the CTR, and it’s way too quiet (but also has no drone). I’m able to tell when I need to shift by the sound frequency in the s2k, but no luck in the CTR. The s2000 also has a better shifter feel. The CTR is good, but throw is a hair longer, and it feels a bit less direct.

As far as handling goes, it’s very hard to reach the limit on the street, and you have to try very hard to get it to understeer. Even if you do, the front tucks in nicely with a lift of throttle or trail-brake. The car is so adjustable mid-turn, and its really addicting! If you leave VSA on, or to the partially off setting, the car uses brake vectoring to help the car rotate as well.

The CTR is traction limited in 1st gear, and I can get wheelspin when flooring it from a roll with the stock tires (VSA Full off). Probably better to use 80-90% throttle (or VSA-on/partial-off) in that gear, and you’ll still get great acceleration. It continues to pull hard in 3rd and 4th gear into the triple digits, and the car is amazingly stable at high speed, whereas the s2000 felt more “twitchy”

Overall, I think Honda has done a great job with this car. The performance envelope is so high, while having so much practicality and technology packed in.
