These include sunroof, vanity mirrors, cruise control, dashboard insulator, transmission mount, drive shaft and shifter dynamic damper, and melt-sheet for the floor stamping. The list of deleted features used to include air conditioning, but customer demand for this feature forced Acura to reinstate it. The Type R's interior has attractive sport seats with excellent lateral support for fast cornering, and a unique instrument panel with a speedometer, tachometer and gauges for fuel and engine temperature on a carbon fibre-like background with amber illumination. A new compact air conditioning system is now optional. The Type R's rear seats offer adequate legroom but headroom is tight for taller occupants.
Outboard occupants have three-point seat belts.
Safety features Type R's have driver and front passenger air bags, 3-point seat belts in all outboard seating positions, and adjustable front head restraints. For crash safety, the body structure features front and rear crumple zones, and side-impact beams. Those cars offer a more conventional ride, better ground clearance, and more features for less money. But if you're an enthusiast, the added performance of the Type R may be worth the sacrifices. There is virtually no lean when cornering quickly, there's exceptional stability in transition from one corner to the next, and the tire grip is tenacious.
