I didn't like the styling of the old CTR at all (well, the last-gen civic, actually). The new CTR looks quite mean and you get a lot for the money - 197bhp engine, 17" wheels, nice seats, etc. The brakes are supposed to be amazing, a couple of magazines have rated it as the fastest stopping car they've ever tested, it stops faster than a 911GT3 (and having been on a track following one of those, they brake *very, very* late into corners!).

ITR is a bit dated if you ask me. I prefer something a bit more sophisticated too, in terms of soundproofing, etc.
