Don't make the mistake thinking that the engine alone is what makes a Type R. The R has chassis stiffening, additional bracing at the rear and has additional weight reduction in the form of a thinner windscreen and zero noise insulation material underneath the carpet. All this coupled with the recaros and LSD make it a Type R. Your Type S is not a Type R. The Type R makes compromises in comfort for less weight and better handling. The Type R doesn't have the option of a sunroof just because they wanted to lower the centre of gravity for handling benefits.

The Type S on the other hand doesn't make any compromises and is better than a Type R for use as a daily driver unless you are willing to accept those sacrifices in comfort.
