Default Features of Type s over base?

Ok i drive a base now. Im thinkin about swaping it in for a type s. Besides the 40 extra hp, better brakes, and bose audio, six speed, stiffer suspension, and subtle color cues, are there any other things the type s has an advantage in?

What, thats not enough for you? Leather seats, better exhaust, and a lot more potential!

I know it kinda seems like im being a smart *** since i did mention nearly everything already. i got the leather already, see but i didnt know that about the exhaust. I knew the tip was a lot nicer than that peice of the tin the base comes with. ALso i heard the type s has heated seats. Is that true? cause if thats the case then im sold.

depends on your plans for the car, because you could just buy Type-R parts and a Type-S head instead of trading cars. Because trading in your car you most likely will lose some money.

Not sure about that one, maybe on the Canadian spec models? I had a base too though so I could be wrong...

They have heated mirrors. No heated seats.

The engine alone is worth the trade. I mean, don't you want to run "real" I-VTEC? A3s don't have it. Plus you get more hp for the dollar when you add mods. I was sold on the DC5s before it came out. i did all the homework I could to learn about it. Now that it's been out and has a lot of after market support I couldn't be happier.
