Thats interesting that he has had those issues with the infotainment. I have an android so I can only speak to that and the infotainment has worked flawlessly for me with 0 issues.
I also have an android and just experienced the issue with android auto not connecting. It kept saying device not compatible (despite it having worked the entire time I've owned the car til now). I had to reboot the infotainment system to fix it.

I've seen all the reviews, and I have to agree. Now that I own an FL5, after being supremely disappointed by the GRC, I can say that it doesn't disappoint. There is nothing I can say that hasn't been said, and after a backroad blast this last weekend I am blown away. It was the first chance I've had to really stretch the FL5's legs, and I was just speechless that it's just a Civic.

I think the most telling thing about the CTR's greatness is that it is quite literally compared to cars such as the GT3 and Sterrato, and often mentioned as a baseline even in comparison to cars like the Gordon Murray T50. Honda really just knocked this thing out of the park.

Were you able to rev it out to redline then? Fellow former GRC owner here. I'm only at ~300mi, haven't pushed the Civic past 5k but I'm already sorely missing the roar of that little 3 cylinder. I'm also missing the perfect throttle response. CTR's is reminiscent of my GR86 (not a good thing) where I never seem to get what I expect when I blip. I have found the Sport setting is most linear and predictable and am getting used to it.

I'm watching your posts like a hawk Fred because we both have/had GRC's...
