See how his car looks in BB in the current ambient conditions...why not just look at a boost blue with black roof?

Hit the nail on the head. The Type R is an amazing car, but it wasn't right for me at the time I got rid of it. I don't regret trading it in. I do miss it sometimes though!I used to own a Jeep Wrangler, and I had the same suspicions about Wranglers. Wranglers are immensely popular, super capable, and super fun vehicles to have. You can easily mod them to your hearts content. And they hold their value well. But living with one day in and day out is just not comfortable. They're not optimal for being your only vehicle, unless you really utilize the trail riding aspect of them every weekend.
I kind of get that sense with the Type R. It's a great car to drive, but some aspects of it just make it uncomfortable for day in / day out only car in the garage.
Or, it could be that a good number of us have multiple other vehicles and don't need to daily drive it.I get the impression that the Type R isn't a great daily driver. Most of the used ones that I see for sale have very low mileage, noticeably lower than a Golf R or STI of the same model year. It seems like the typical Type R owner doesn't actually drive their car very much.
That's kind of my point, if it was a good daily driver then wouldn't you want to drive it every day? There doesn't seem to be as much holding back Golf R and STI drivers from wanting to drive their car more frequently.Or, it could be that a good number of us have multiple other vehicles and don't need to daily drive it.
Lol what? I'd love to drive this thing daily even in traffic.I get the impression that the Type R isn't a great daily driver.

If I had a daily drive, I would certainly take my R. But the walk to my garage is about the same distance as to my office.That's kind of my point, if it was a good daily driver then wouldn't you want to drive it every day?

I cannot drive 3 vehicles at once.That's kind of my point, if it was a good daily driver then wouldn't you want to drive it every day? There doesn't seem to be as much holding back Golf R and STI drivers from wanting to drive their car more frequently.
