I'm glad they also added a comfort mode option, one of the most common complaint I've come across for the current type R was that even in normal mode ( non R) it was uncomfortably stiff on regular roads.
I'm glad it has brake hold. I use my parking brake to hold the car at almost every stop, so I'm always flexing that brake handle.
I also change clothes in my car before going to class. Looks like that will be more difficult with the shape of the center console.
