savegegeese have updated their side by side deep dive for the newly released Elantra N DCT:

Similar to the recent Motortrend accolades for the Integra Type S, the CTR's infotainment is dinged for being dated. The Elantra N also DCT edges for real world acceleration off the line, but I am not focused on red light drag races.
Mark notes his Integra Type S suspension mods to his personal FL5 and what others in the community are doing to tame down the FL5's suspension. I would be curious if others here have direct experience or feedback. I recognize this will be emotional or vary by each individual's use as a dual-duty, grocery/kid hauler, or weekend spirited driving car.

I have always driven manual cars, but however, not all households are 100% of this mindset. Injuries, are another scenario, where a proper DCT can still bring a fun car into the mix that is an auto.
I recall someone at Expo 10 who had converted a DC5 (Type S?) to automatic after a spinal chord injury. It was wicked cool and he was quick.
