    People who complain about the aesthetic of the tablet on the dash don't realize that integrating the screen into the dash, no matter how well you do it, makes the dash feel MASSIVE.

    It's great that Honda put the infotainment screen on top of the dash in the line of sight (like Mazda). Now they need control and volume knobs next to the shifter and directly underneath your right hand (like Mazda) so you don't have to reach up to the screen, hit the wrong button when there's a bump, and put fingerprint smudges all over the screen.

      Elantra N is slight worse of everything compared to the new Type R even tho it’s still an incredible car. In a canyon road setting Elantra N has way better ride than the type R. However I would take the Type R any day, the price is worth it. Don’t give a shit if DCT is faster

      @@30hours51 slight worse? Yeah no. Interior features it's better and it's a way more comfortable daily than the type r, it also sounds better and I think has a better steering rack especially on the FL. On track sure type r is slightly better. 100% a type r isn't worth 18k Australian more. It's actually boring on the street

      @@30hours51 I've driven both on track. I'd take the type r for track probably everytime but for street the Elantra N everyday. A few mods and the thing is just as quick and more fun to drive

    Tedward and Topher? I feel like worlds are colliding here. Is Tedward the Bizzaro Topher, or is Toper the Bizzaro Tedward? It's too much to try and comprehend.

    I’d still like to see the Type R get heated seats, as the last gen didn’t have them either.

      Wait for integra Type S. This will be the more luxurious Type R, hopefully...

    being a driver of an EP3 i got really used to the shifter that is very close to the wheel...the next generations of civics made the distance significantly longer, but as cars in general they get better and better despite the fact that they left the hot hatch category and they got... into the hatch-coupe :/

    The biggest reason for the high msrp right now is inflation and just the state of the economy rn, give it time and im sure it'll drop
