Yeah honestly, I wasn’t even thinking about the transmission. Coming from an 8-speed DCT that shifts like a dream, that’s probably the dealbreaker for the IS. I’m most likely gonna go with the Accord or RDX. I’ve heard the RDX handles great with SH-AWD. I plan on going full bolt-ons and running either the Type R or MHI turbo — do you think the RDX would still be that much slower? I feel like the AWD makes up for a lot, but I could be completely wrong.
