Upu say you enjoy the Type R more then your lude. So why would you go further into "sedaness" and purchase a A4 ?????

I had a 98 SH before this, it was a very nice and sporty car but you cannot compare it to the stook.

It is much faster, handles like a go cart, and is small and lightwight as compared to the lude.

I think the S is like other Honda's.

The CBR900 Fireblade comes to mind!

Nuff sed.

For the past decade, I've only driven a motorcycle--year in and year out. But when I saw the stook, I had to try it out. I ended up buying it and selling my Honda Valkyrie because it was the only car that made me feel like I was driving a motorcycle--and I don't even have to wear a helmet! And when the weather turns sour, I just put the top up. Damned, what a car!

And for those who say it's not a daily driver, I wholeheartedly disagree. Although I don't recommend driving the car when there is snow on the ground, I've driven it so far this year when the temps have been hovering in the teens and haven't had the slightest problem. I drive it like I would my motorcycle. I don't make abrupt lane changes and give myself plenty of room. Considering the traffic around here and the fact that it's 15 miles to work, I still don't see the problem driving it all year round as long as you leave it at home when the snow hits and you drive cautiously. I can't think of a car on the road that would make me happier--at least one that I could afford.

Good luck with the decision.

It's not like any other Honda. About the only similarity is the badge (and that appears on F1 cars and lawn mowers!)

The ride is very firm, virtually no body roll, even through corners taken at eyebrow raising speed. The engine noise is to die for if you like sports cars (but your grandma may complain). The gear shift is precision itself, with a tiny throw. When you're in it the doors come up high, almost up to your shoulder, and the seats grab you firmly. You feel cocooned. You are in a true sports car.
