The OP mentioned these creature comforts but I was late to notice this thread so I decided to forgoe posting this, but since they've come back up... if these things are important to you, i don't think you'll be happy with the CTR. The CTR is less civilized than the Si (add squeaky Brembo brakes, 20" rims that are pothole magnets, less rear visibility, quick-wearing tires, 2 person back seat, drivetrain whines, etc.). If these are what you think about when weighing the pros and cons, my guess is you won't be satisfied with a CTR. I don't mean to offend anyone, I just wanted to point out that the CTR and Si are different beasts intended for different drivers.
My buddy Brian (not yet on the forum grrr.) has a 17 SI Sedan(leased) and a 17 CTR(owned). I know some would think that's crazy, but this is his fourth leased SI... so to say he's a fan of the performance/enthusiast civic would be an understatement. He has put about 1100 miles on the CTR and about 11k miles on his SI. He's already caught a pothole and damaged a rim on his CTR. The low profile tires on it are not daily driver friendly to the average NJ road.
