Oh right, you bought one so it must be better. It's all subjective so we're never gonna agree on this. I like VTEC cars. Their sound, power delivery and drive. You don't. You prefer boosted Lancers. Good for you.Quote:

You keep saying that but present no real information as to why people should spend 60K on a Civic.Quote:

Accept that people might have differing opinions to you and not agree that 60K is value for money in regards to a Civic and you might achieve inner peace.
You'd make a good Holden salesman mind you - they believe that their cars are god's gift to the world too :D
Tell me why 60k is too much for a Civic but not too much for an Evo or STi? They're just Japanese sedans too. I've given reasons for buying a $60k Civic whereas you've just said it's a Civic. An Evo is just a Lancer, an STI is just an Impreza, an R32 is just a Golf. Where do you stop? The base may be a Civic but there's so much more to it. Why do people swallow $60k for Gods gift to AWD sedans but won't cop it for a Mugen Civic. Do you buy Tsubi jeans because you think they're honestly a better made pair of pants?
This is after all a Honda enthusiast site. Why wouldn't I be passionate about Hondas? Now how many people here have spent similar money buying a cheaper car and modifying it? That makes perfect sense to us here but we dismiss the idea of buying one direct from Mugen. That doesn't make sense to me. Chuck big wheels, suspension, intercooler, exhaust and other mods on a WRX and you still have a WRX. We do it because we love it. If you look back I wasn't the one that called someone out for feeling the desire to own one.
LOL is often used as a forum term for those that don't have the balls to point the finger in criticism. How is saying I'm a fool for seeing value in a Mugen Civic a rational argument?
Spot on. Why have something that everyone else has if you wanna stand out. It's like buying those damn Zephyr 5Zigen chrome wheels at the turn of the century. Every prick had em on a Charade, Mirage and whatever other ricer they'd fit on. Buying a Mugen is something you do for hobby and passion. Buying any performance car isn't rational but sometimes you just wanna do something for yourself.Quote:

well there isnt at all any present information at the same time, why people spend so much on other things, collectables, the pokemon cards and bloody number plates etc.Quote:

So everyones different and 60k is worth it to those who "like" the mugen RR and treat it as a rare thing or something like that... and 60k for a civic ISNT worth it for those who like it but are more of a fan for something else thats 60K etc..
to be honest 60k to me isnt worth it, but i would still get it if i had the chance, just purely cos i like it and theres only 300 made. I dont think you should be comparing cars either, again everyone has own tastes.
i bought 1 cuz it's a better car and i could afford itQuote:

wake up and get out of your little fantasy.
the cars are more expensive bcuz it's a better car.
dont get me wrong i love my honda awsome built quality awsome n/a engines. but.. wake up mate. there are better cars within the same price range..
so there fore the mugen RR is not worth it
To me, the better car is the car you like best. Others might like this RR better, while for me, an E36 M3 is nicer for 20k less than this RR. No point telling people which is better because everyone has his or her own preferences.
yea pointless arguements, you guys could go on for centuries about which is better until 1 of either side suddenly has a change in taste..
The best way is for everyone to get the car that they like and we all meet up one day at Eastern Creek for a bash on the circuit. :)
im up for that bring it on lol
That implies that the fastest is the "best"...a bit simplistic ain't it?Quote:
