Bit misleading that title, Just thought I start a new thread on these 3.

The old ITR had a suprisingly big boot - not very deep, but I could get a lot in it. Very practical

I don't know how easy it would be to get a child seat in though....

As to the weight loss on the new ITR, it's a lot in common with the new CTR, except one is a Type-R and the other just borrows the badge IMHO.

If you need something 'sensible' then don't underestimate the ATR either. It's got more torque than most Vtec engines, so it can suprise a lot of people. Just watch out for wheel bearings (the 17in wheels are causing some to fail very quickly), and the 6,000 miles you'd generally get out of front tires!

The new ITR looks nice. The 17in wheels mean you've access to a lot of decent tires, while it's still got most of what made the old ITR great. (I suspect it's a little softer/quieter, but until I've been in one I'll reserve judgment.)

I would be. I'm taking all sorts of routes between Yorkshire and the Midlands moving stuff.

It's fun when the car behaves. Which hasn't been any of the last 3 trips....

I've got to head down there later. Exploratory knee surgery later this week Hope the S2000 behaves this time
