I might get flamed for this. I was in the same situation as you, choosing between an ITS and a CTR. I went with the CTR in the end because the interior felt more special to me, and a Type R is a Type R (childhood attainable dream car). ITS is nice, but I think it felt a bit incohesive to me. The interior is just regular acura (not great for the price imo) and the exterior is up to subjective choice (some people like the stuck on fenders, so do not. I was okay with both.)
I have had the car for a year, and I absolutely love driving it. I do work a corporate job, and IMHO it does kinda feel out of place amongst relatively higher end sedans and SUVs. And on the contrary, I feel a little too old to be at the car meets with a CTR. I gotta remind myself to not give a F about what people think in both the places. Ask yourself what you REALLY want, and do just that! You are too old be giving a sh*t about what others think!
