Really only considered the 228i and the M235i at the time, other than the R.
The 228i costs more after optioned up, and down on power compared to the R. The M235i was out of my budget range, especially after being optioned up.
Had the Civic Type R been available or arriving soon at the time, I might've gone with that.
I miss Honda 6MT cars.
Just curious, Al_in_Philly, but, um, do you sit in the back seat often, or is that for other folks' comfort?
Solely for when I drive friends around. I don't play chauffeur all that often, but if I'm going to have a back seat, I want a comfortable one for when I do. Unlike many of you, this is our only car (we live in a city where parking is at a premium) and it needs to be able to do a variety of tasks. The great thing about the R, is that while it might not be the very best at any one thing, it's very (sometimes amazingly) good at almost everything, rear seats included.

Focus RS was the only car i looked at and had a deposit on one buy backed out and went with the R. Came from a mk6 gti, RS is too stiff for daily.
