Hi all,
I've just bought a second hand black FN2R after a few months of looking in vain for a RS Clio 197. I've already spent a bit of time on here lurking (researching) the FN2R as the reviews out there seem to be a mixed bag from Clarkson hating it to a few of the UK mag guys stating it was their favourite hot hatch in 2007. Not that I pay much attention purely to reviews but after driving it for the past week I'm glad I went with the Honda over say the much lauded Golf GTI that I also test drove. The GTI was nice but incredibly boring - felt like a German version of Corolla with extra herbs.
I've never owned a Honda car before but have had a few Honda bikes including a CBR250RR (first bike), Firestorm, Blackbird, CBR954RR Fireblade and my current CBR1000RR amongst the various Yamaha's and Kawasaki's I've had. But I always seem to come back to Honda's for some reason.
Anyway look forward to contributing and getting into some track days hopefully very soon.
