Depends what you are after....they all come with similar spec, just the odd differance....type-r\'s (like mine) have twin oil coolers.

I\'m not sure of all the little differances for all the models...best do a search.

I would suggest going for the best car you can, irrespective of model. However, I was after a type R and ended up getting a manual type X, my purist side said that a sunroof would ruin the shell stiffness, but now my practical side says it\'s great for keeping you cool on a balmy summer\'s evening. However, I wouldn\'t be able to wear a helmet as it takes up too much headroom. The rear seats aren\'t great, but I can get my fiance in the back for short trips. The BOSE stereo in mine doesn\'t work properly and takes up half the boot so I\'ve ripped it out.
