I went from having an Acura TLX 3.5L Tech Package, and it had all those cool bells and whistles. The one thing that I liked the most was the collision mitigation which brakes for you in case you are not looking, but I always disabled it every time I drove because when I wanted to weave through traffic which I like to do all the time, it became dangerous as it would slam on the brakes when you get too close.
With that being said I do miss the spaciousness of my TLX but I do not miss all the extra bells and whistles that they similarly added to the 2020 CTR.
I am planning on keeping my 19' CTR for a while.

Only thing I do want from the 2020 is the front and rear grill meshes that have no "waffle" like mesh and has the colored accents.

Keeping mine and looking to make other investments. Have mine built exactly how I like it in every way. I personally love having less tech and a very focused ride, that doubles as a very practical vehicle.

Did you have any issues with the transmission in that car? Curious

I never really had any issues with Transmission, keep in mind I only had the car for a couple years and put 26,000 miles on it.
Only issue I noticed happen once in a while was that I had misfires in my engine. I would notice this on hot days.
Also I put a k&n short ram intake on it which sounded amazing, so that could've been why.
Other than that the car ran perfect.

Voted no.

At first when I saw the modest price increase and all the added features I felt a little bad since I just got my CTR last year but the only thing I really would’ve liked were the side view mirror defrosters that I would only use a few months of the year.

The Honda Sensing package is a a lot of added features but the only thing I would appreciate is the precollision system but a friend at work says it turns on to easily so otherwise I would be turning it off any way.

At the end of the day I’m happy with my car despite not having the upgrades of the 2020 because it’s still a CTR.

The only thing that might make me regret getting the 2019 vs a 2020 is if the 2020 had a power upgrade. But still with 306hp it’s plenty of fun and once the road gets wet you have to be careful and can’t just mash the gas as you’ll get tire spin. I think the Supra just got a boost of almost 50hp for this year. That would piss me off if I got a Supra last year.

Thing I would want is if the CTR got AWD with an electric rear hybrid system. If the 2020 had that then I might feel some remorse. But if the hybrid system comes out in a new model in the future, I’ll still be happy with my 2019.

Any way you cut it I’m happy to even have a CTR.

Besides, I have my volume knob...Hahhaha!:D
