Utter pish on the interior feeling dated, they're almost identical and with no faux carbon
Been holding off replying to your constant comparisons.
I think you are wearing rose tinted glasses, I'm sure you will think I'm biased, but the reality is the FK8 is better, take the looks aside (personal opinion) and drive both back to back and you will come to the same conclusion. Is it any quicker not by much, if anything, crikes I can drive mine as quick as I can a 570s on the road, it doesn't matter. As a driver I enjoy driving the FK8 at 10/10's at 1/10 the FK2 I drove and then drove again but just couldn't convince myself was the finished article, so didn't buy, ironically and at the time I didn't know the FK8 was coming, which I think is a superb car.
It's no lightweight sports car, the fuel consumption is pretty poor when you're on it, the alloys are too large, the fake grills a bit meh, it still doesn't sound great, the tyre wear horrendous and as a mid 40's chap look a right **** driving one although the kids at school think I'm the coolest dad.
But on one of our B roads it is a total driver's car, the steering perfect, the brakes perfectly servoed, the handling just right, oversteer if you really go in hard and lift off, but perfectly controllable, the rear drifts marginally and when really pushing the front end dips into a corner like a sea bird diving for a fish, you turn a tricky corner into an apex, a precision weapon the turn in beyond what you would think possible with a fwd car. Plenty of power to lay 11's, too much dare I say, as change into second when on it you get wheelspin, those standard Contis just don't like it, it is frustrating, but easier to short shift into 3rd gear and use the torque, no torque steer (how is this possible?)
Lift off and select comfort, sit back in a seat that you could happily spend 8 hours in (I have) and you are driving a comfort only found in a high end German brand, fuel economy trebles, suitcase in the back, wife doing her make up, race car to family car in a flick of a switch.
Is the FK8 better than an FK2 who gives a darn, but I would happily say you wouldn't be disappointed driving one.
Enjoy your FK2 it is a really good car, but perhaps leave your feedback on the FK2 forum or take off your spectacles and enjoy what Honda is doing now, that it wasn't doing since the EP3, and that is making great cars again.
