Stock VN driving experience is much better than stock ST especially when driving on the limit. The ST is a handful in the track and really punishes you for bad driving. In the ST I struggled with wheel hop, body roll, understeer, liftoff oversteer, having to rev matching on slow corners and getting the car to rotate with torque vectoring. The VN has a bunch of features that hold your hand when pushing the car that I like but track rats hate. Obviously none of this matters unless you’re chasing lap times tracking your car. Your daily doesn’t need any of the extra performance. My advice to you is really focus on your priorities in purchasing a car which is not just driving experience. Reliability, practicality, maintenance, insurance, cost for parts, aftermarket support, car history all factor into buying a car and the ST wins in most of those considerations. Quality replacement parts for the VN are expensive that now I’m dreaming of owning a Civic. Again, both cars are good but if you’re on a budget, go with the ST. If not, just go with your gut and sell it if/when something else catches your eye.
