There is no doubt type r is a better track day car. But I like the fact that with the ST you don't have to wait for 6.5 you just get a surge . Plus the ST is far more refined. At the end of the day, i'm a shit driver, who knows very little about putting a car through its paces but when I go for a blast on the weekends without the kids I would prefer the Type r. With the ST it doesn't feel so naughty, plus I cat keep up with the Elise's on the mountain roads, with the civic its no problem.

Well I currently have a ep3 2005 which I'm selling, as have just got a company car so going to consolidate the Mrs car and the Type R.
The Mrs wants a ST so will be looking at getting one in the next week or so.
I love the civic (when its dry) so much fun and very sticky. However when it rains, its very difficult to drive quickly (well with my limited skill).
I will be getting the 260 mountune upgrade asap also. I will report back my findings. If I can be arsed.

I know it's all personal taste, but for me, as the everyday car, the FST feels A LOT quicker than the CTR - the obvious low down torque advantage makes the car fun to drive without having to rev the nuts off it to really get a move on.
