For Auto-X i'd say Type-R for sure. The car is an absolute weapon. It is ridiculously easy to go fast in the car and push. I'd say you'd get comfortable with the CTR faster than the M2.
The seats are ridiculously comfortable for what they are. The suspension is amazing on the road, doesnt beat you up at all.
Brakes are some of the best i've experienced on a road car feel wise.
You can hold a ton of stuff in the hatch (like a spare set of wheels).
That being said, there are a few drawbacks to the CTR:
- It chews through front tires like nobody's business. Front tires arent exactly cheap either (especially if you go with the 285 setup).
- You have to go through this stupid pedal dance to get all the nannies off every time you switch on the car
- As mentioned the electronic parking brake is a huge pain in the ass
- Infotainment sucks (as mentioned). If you do android auto/apple carplay its better (even bearable)
- Build quality isnt the best.... it is made in Swindon after all, but get ready for rattles and huge panel gaps (if that matters to you).
-You cant hear anything out of the stock exhaust, if you keep the stock exhaust get ready to ride the limiter ALOT
-Steering feel isnt great. It's best in comfort mode but if you run R+ or do the pedal dance it defaults to a setting that doesnt give you a ton of feedback.
Anyhow, the positives outweigh the negatives for me. If you want to chat more about the car or want any feedback on setup just shoot me a PM
