Yea, here is the rub, I need to navigate to and from work everyday. So having an infotainment that constantly froze, etc, was a dealbreaker. Especially since Honda doesn't have a fix and many with replacement units still have issues. There are lengthy threads about it here, and articles written online about units in many Honda vehicles are extremely unreliable.To each their own.
I could care less about BSW in the CTR. I can use my properly adjusted mirrors and the flexibility of my neck that allows me to glance to the side in my blind spot to make sure there isn't a car there. Infotainment. again I could care less. If I get tired of listening to the engine noises I know a good local FM station that works every time I turn to it. The CTR isn't designed to be your "Father's Oldsmobile" and I'm 71 so probably old enough to be your Dad/Granddad. This is a performance car and as such I am happy it doesn't have all the crap my Volvo SUV has. Although I do enjoy those features in that vehicle. Different category of vehicle.
Glad you are happy with your decision. Drive on in good health.
I have a feeling I would love the new gen type R but I'm sure getting one will be a huge pain in the ass for awhile. With everyone charing an obscene markup, I'm able to get a lot more car (in some ways) for the same money. I know the Type R is a performance car, but there are performance cars that are of higher build qualities in some ways that I personally appreciate in daily driver.
Lastly, I got the wide angle mirrors and didn't have much an issue. However, in the environment I drive with a ton of merges, having it is amazing.
