Yup! It's gonna be my DD. For me, that's the whole point of a hot hatch! Fun to drive, decently quick, good gas mileage, comfortable, and be practical enough as a DD.
I think the next batch is September man, followed by December. Did your dealership already get 3 CTRs in for July? I think most dealers only get 1 to 2 cars each time.

I want to hear one on hard acceleration or high RPM before judging it too hard, but it felt a little weird seeing a car with such a loud "look at me exterior" having such a quiet exhaust.
It looked like a nice car but I still have a soft spot for the DC2 ITR

The CTR is pretty darn quiet based on its "loud" exterior. Not sure what the rules are but I'd imagine Honda can easily turn it up a few notches and it will still be well within any decibel laws IMO. I think this issue was brought up by many reviewers already. The good thing is that it keeps the wife happy...lol.
There are different modes - Comfort, Sport, +R, but based on my experience, I don't think they change the sound much. I think those modes are strictly for the steering, dampers, and throttle calibration/response.
