If you're not going to race, I don't see the point in getting a Type R other than as showing off to ricers. The car doesn't have leather, sound deadening, cruise control, a sunroof, etc., etc. She's stripped and ready for the track. IMO, for the price of one, you can get a nicer looking, more comfortable car.

I myself AutoX and will be taking my baby to the track whenever time and money can afford it
