Curious after owning the Type R what is next?

[Cranium]

I'm definitely a manual snob, tried and true a Honda fan, started my obsession buying my first new car as a 94' Civic EX Coupe (yes, I'm old), keep my cars for 8-10 years (just got rid of my Mugen Si for the Type R), and have always wanted an S2000. I would love an older NSX, of course, but the only obtainable ones for me are the ones that have been beaten on. Not going there. So.... I would either add to my current mix with an S2000, or would consider a TLX Type S if it comes in a manual, which it probably won't. Happy motoring!

I did two sessions at a HPDE in one.

I love the car. I don't love the reliability issues of the voodoo

look at a 19-21, problems pretty much non existant (i work for ford, can confirm 16-18 were real bad with the oil issues)

My first new car is a 93 Civic Si coupe and I like to keep my cars for long terms too. So I still have my 04 TSX 6MT(bought it brand new) alive and drive it every once a while (mainly hang out with friends when they decide to drive DC2R out)

I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I find the exhaust note of the R forgettable at best and obnoxious at worst. It kills the experience for me. My steering also felt amazing when new, but lately I can't feel the difference between Sport and +R. It's been gradual, but I'm falling out of love with the car.

When the money situation is right in a few years, I plan on trading in the R for a Cayman GT4 and something like the upcoming Corolla GR as a daily. The alternative might be to trade for a potential future AWD NISMO 400Z.
