They're still very different from each other. I made some changes to the VN which really made a great difference in handling. I added Whiteline 24mm front and rear sway bars and Elantra N front lower control arms which are internally boxed from the factory. The greater stiffness of these really helped in front end feel and responsiveness. I have-2.2 degrees negative camber in the front and -2.0 in the rear. This car is so much better than it has a right to be! I also added an AFE CAI with a Velossa Tech snorkel, a Forge Motorsports intercooler and upgrade piping kit with a GFB BOV, and a Scorpion open downpipe...no tune yet but she runs quite well now! I'm very happy with it overall. It's the 1st brand of car that I've purchased outside of Honda since 1997! I only have just over 400 miles on the 23 R so I'll know more as I get more seat time. I'm planning to set that up very similarly to my 18 Type R. I have alot done to the 18 too so...Just sold my '22 Veloster N and picked up a '23 Kona N. Currently working on getting a FL5.

I like the civic so much I thought about buying the “normal” version as well. Do you drive it a lot? Any complaints?
Its soo good. Smooth, refined (ST) yet sporty handling and 45 mpg highway. I have that one cvt so nice smooth drive to work then the Type R for nights and weekends. The only gripe ai have on the ST is lack of adjustable lumbar.I like the civic so much I thought about buying the “normal” version as well. Do you drive it a lot? Any complaints?
Are you looking for a similar type vehicle?We have a Kia Sorento 2016.
I won't speak rudely about it since we still own it but my goodness. I assure you'll never own a Hyundai/Kia/Genesis from here on out.
We are looking to replace it but we are not in agreement with what that will be.
I think we are down to an RX350. I prefer new versus pre-owned.Are you looking for a similar type vehicle?
