You should go down that same twisty road that Joe Raiti from Raiti's Rides on youtube drives on. I think he's close to Sarasota. Watch his video review driving that 2020 Boost Blue. Guy had a cargasm going around those twisties!! ?
One of my favorites on YouTube

timtzots,
“You guys should have told me how well this car handles :p

Like Mr T said, it’s fun to drive, even like we do here in flat Florida. Here in panhandle Sally didn’t get to hurt it in garage- whew.

Once broken in, find a local autocross event so you can really check out the grip in turns. At nearly 8k miles and a year, I just got to do that. Hooked!

Corny but ... “If you think the Type R is fun to drive straight, wait until you dive in a turn and slingshot from the apex!” -Me

I still can't imagine how well this car is GLUED to the road, I mean GLUED. When I gave it a turn, it went with the contours of the road and never diverted. And this was all in Sport Mode!! I haven't tried "R" mode yet. That's level 3 for me, but I did find it less jerky when shifting through the gears from 1st-2nd in comfort mode that I did in Sport mode.

+R Mode expends the most glue through the tire treads. Consult your local Honda dealer on how to refil the tire glue reservoir as the system was so new it missed the owners manual publication change date. ?⚡?

Bummer. Trying to find something positive...

Once fixed, you can fully re-inflate tire with one CO2 BB pistol cartridge.

Dang. Did you get that curb rash from switching tires?
I hit the corner just less than 2 min from home. Was on the way back from Tint job. I took the right at the light too early and nicked the street corner.
