I -- and more importantly my wife! -- find Comfort mode to be acceptably compliant on our absolutely terrible local roads, especially compared to our GR Yaris and Jimny which are noticeably firmer over bumps. However, to my surprise, at least two persons who have ridden in the back seat...
Are those tacked-on fender flares? A pity if they are... the clean, integrated flares of the FL5 would suit the ITS much better than an "aftermarket" tacked-on look
The Mazda 3 hatchback looks very sensuous but it's really tiny inside (particularly at the back row). It used to have a big edge with interior styling and quality, but the latest Civic closed the gap significantly. Between the two, the Civic is the clear winner overall for me and I'm speaking as...

Incidentally, the ride wasn't too firm at all in +R suspension mode, I guess the track was fairly smooth!
Had an FL5 trackday, some found the rear end too planted and refusing to move even under trail-braking or lifting off midcorner. A bit boring and one-dimensional therefore for some, while some found that reassuringly safe and stable.
However, all the reviews on the internet and on YouTube...
We get the alcantara wheel standard in our market, and compared to a smooth leather wheel it certainly feels nicer and much more special. I don't know how long it will last, but it's very, very nice while it's new.
That said, I probably won't bother spending a large sum to get it over a...
Thanks, I can't be bothered to do youtube lol.
The ND2 is really fantastic in its own right and is definitely much, much more than the sum of its humble parts
