I had a 2015 STI Hyper Blue edition and I loved it. Fantastic steering and wonderful gearbox (once it had a short shifter). I had it flashed and it was a really fun car.
I replaced my STI with a 2018 White Type R. I have since replaced the 2018 with a 2019 Type R. Both Rs had a PRL intercooler, KOYO radiator, downpipe, front pipe, motor mount and full Acuity shift kit, Hondata code. I have had the 2nd gear issue with both Type Rs.
The heated seats I miss. The steering was slightly better in the STI and I preferred the transmission - no grinding and more solid feeling.
The STI launch was better until Hondata’s traction control came out. Everything else in my opinion is superior in the Type R. It’s also worth noting that the STI steering rack failed at 37k miles which was super frustrating (and is a known failure point)
