That's what I've been doing for a month.
I've been playing both CCE and the original back to back every night for 4 or 5 weeks to see if I can get a definative handle on what's actually the better game.
It's obviously subjective, but my conclusion is that on the whole, CCE is the far better game.
The handling is much better if you put in the time to get used to it. It actually plays very similarly to Ridge Racer with the drifting. CCE also offers more tracks, more cars and generally better visuals. The music is still shite, though.
All in my opinion, but interestingly, I was a supporter of the original before doing the tests.

for my 2 pennies worth, CCE was more than enjoyable but i think what ruined peoples pereceptions was they heard a remix of daytona was coming and thought finally we get daytona like we allready had but with much more elements and better graphics and as such it bemused most people as it was like it was some other race game with the daytona branding slapped on it, it gets unfairly criticised because of this.
CCE was percevied to be what the original wasnt, and it lived up to that but not in the way gamers thought when they got amped about it coming to thier saturns, for my self i never enjoyed CCE as much as i enjoyed Daytona USA, depsite the worse graphics and lack of options and tracks compared to CCE, but its more than worthy of adding to anyones collection if racing games is what they like.

In my case, I like first Daytona better beacuse it was my first Saturn game, it left a bigger impression than CCE, and that applies to most games I play. If there's a game franchise, the first one I play is my favourite no matter if it was the first in the series or a sequel, I prefer GTA 3 to VC or SA, WE6:FE is my favourite in Winning Eleven series, first NFS is the better than any of the sequels for me and so on...

Despite its flaws, the original Daytona gets my preference simply because it feels like the arcade original. Circuit Edition and the later PC only Deluxe version are superior graphically, but Yu Suzuki's earlier treatment handles better. However, my complaints aren't limited to just this racing series - later Sega Rally efforts didn't seem as good to me control-wise compared to the first, and don't even mention Daytona USA 2001's default steering sensitivity...

Why does everyone hate CCE's music? I'm a huge fan of rock and as a guitar player and music student in uni i love listening to the awesome rock guitar solos etc especially on the dinosaur canyon level.
CCE is an awesome game, the original daytonas handing was easier for turning but CCE can be as good if you just change the options and take time ot get used to it.

I was one of the 'anti-CCE' but a little while ago, I discovered that the baddest flaw of the game (its handling) could be rectify in the options menu! Since then, my life is better, faster, stronger!

the thing is
people bash CCE because of its handling and music
Again the music is AWESOME if you ask me, the guitar solo etc is awesome and really enjoyable to listen to compaired ot the gayness of BRUUU BRRUUU SKIEZZZ (which is enjoyable odnt get me wrong).
howevber if CCE wasnt a game DAYTONA USA CCE but something like LOLRACERX (example lol) i bet people would LOVE it because of its awesome graphics etc

I prefer the original even though it only has like 3 courses. I still think CCE is great though.

CCE Was amongst the first games I got for the saturn. I got a package deal with 5 games. Another was sega rally and VF2 It wasent until years later getting my second saturn (my first one was sold in favour of getting the new sega dreamcast at the time) that I tried out the first daytonna game. And owch, I was appauled. Persoanlly, I prefere cce as for one its superiour, I love the music too and it was one of my first saturn games. Anyone think the dreamcast daytonna was clunky? felt a little sluggish. I was actually thinking it was gonna be daytonna 2 (the only daytona I have played at the arcade) but sadly it wasent. Now we have XBLA....cmon sega release some arcade games. scud race...daytonna 2...etc.

Haven't you heard?
SEGA Lost the source code to their arcade games, which is actually a lazy way of saying "We can't be arsed using HLE emulation even though it's easy".
Plus, Daytona name is liscenced now, so they'd have to change the name to... Daytonaaaaah.

I once spoke to a Sega employee and he said that the biggest problem was the license. They don't have it anymore and re-releasing Daytona USA in some kind of retro compilation like Sega Ages, would mean, that they'd have to renew the Daytona license, which is simply not profitable. Changing the name probably won't be enough to avoid buying a license and everything beyond that wouldn't be wanted by the fans.
Sometimes it's also better to just let it be.

Fine, they can give us SCUD instead seeing as it is basically a Daytona clone ;p
