Had an ‘18 SI with Hondata etc and now own the Type R. There is no comparison; I wish people would stop saying “is the type R worth $10k more?” Because yes it is worth way more than $10k more. You could throw $10k at the si and it will never perform like the type r
and boost by gear!
I wish people would stop saying that too. It's a problem for all car brands. There's a lot more engineering going on than just swapping out some parts for something aftermarket. The highest performance trim of a car is usually so much better than its lower-tier brother. It's something you have to physically experience. Reading the spec sheets and lap times don't suffice.Had an ‘18 SI with Hondata etc and now own the Type R.

I also have a decently moded R and yes it makes the car that much more fun and yes there are traction issues with so much power but it’s a lot of fun
Yeah maybe the Murano might be the real.upgrade
Personally I would do PMM. I have the CW and love it, but between the two you mentioned, the black is reeeeeeealllyyy hard to keep clean if you do any daily kind of driving. It looks amazing when clean but that doesn’t last long before you gotta wash it again (even with ceramic coat). I also owned a black 8th gen back in the day...never again lol.
PMM is the correct answer. Can't fault you if you decide CW but PMM is the more correct choice here.
The black is the best but you pay to play. It'll be hell to keep it clean all the time but worth every second.
I am very happy with my Hatchback, but it is definitely not faster than my 15 si coupe. I got the hatch for the fuel economy and the extra space which the Si did not provide, although the fuel economy isn't that crazy of a difference, it was mostly the extra space that I wanted, my coupe days were coming to an end but I did not want to go the SUV route. All in all, very happy so far.
I went over to the Honda dealership today and they had a white Type R on the floor, of course the car is fantastic from a mechanical and performance standpoint, but the look of the car, in my opinion, it’s just downright fugly.
ive always felt it was fugly. it just looks like a big mess of shit thrown together on the hatchback body.
