I can't really say, because i have TeinSS since i bought the car...but it's almost as stiff as the teinSS, but not quite as stiff...Quote:

I never said the TypeS seats were the best, but I have sat and driven in a DC5R for long distances, and it's not that comfortable to be quite honest.
My mother has a bad back, and she sat in the TypeS for a 2hour drive up to Toowoomba area and she didn't complain a thing...and also that's why we bought a BMW 120i, because of the supportive seats...But I know the TypeS seats are not great at all on the track.
All I'm saying is the CTR seats are nothing to jump up and down about, because you will get the same sort of thing in a Colt RalliArt...:p
I mean the seat in a Porsche Cayman, even though it's not top of the range Porsche, that seat is so comfortable and supportive...I guess I'm just spoilt.
the speedo and the steering wheel position really doesn't work. I'm around 5"11 (180cm) after adjusting the steering coulomb for a few minutes, i still couldn't clearly see the speedo...in the end i had to lower the steering wheel almost to my upper thigh/knees. And when i did this, the seating position just feels strange, feels like i was "on top" of the steering/dash...unless i move the seat back rest back...guess i'll need to fiddle with the positioning around if i owned one.
It's just that for $43k for a Civic, it really needs to "impress" me to get my cheque book out. And i guess when I've owned two DC5 in 5 years and now have a TypeS, there's no point in buying this CTR.
