Not sure were you got your source from but alot of consumers are happy with the car. Please test drive one and make your own judgement rather then depending on other peoples comments. I have seen people converting from the EP3 to the FN2 on the UK forums saying that the car is now livable compared to the EP3.Quote:

It's worth buying and it felt faster than stock dc5 :D (no flaming here).
CTR gearbox is much nicer than ITR.
Not sure where I got my source for which comment exactly?Quote:

If someone complains about a ITR/CTR not being "livable", I can't help but be baffled as to why they're buying a car that is targetted towards weekend racers and hardcore enthusiasts. On the other hand, if you're happy with a car for the masses, all power to you, however I'll never agree that a 1345kg civic is worthy of a type-r sticker.
Anyway, back on the weight thing, which stat is actually correct???
UK website lists the mass as 1267kg, Oz lists 1345kg...
:confused:
1267 sounds a good deal better, I'd consider the car if it was closer to that sort of weight...
saw the CTR today for the first time in the flesh and honestly it looks 10x better in real life then in the photos we see. Awesome car!
so ...why is there 2 TypeRs? LOL
what's the point of this UK CTR when they have another TypeR which is and is known to be so much better performance wise? (I compare the two based on performance, since both are called TypeR)...
The bean counters in Honda feel that they would make more money by selling the UK spec CTR's in Oz... And they're probably right.Quote:

because all the uk civic are built in uk and there are not the shape that we are getting in australia. So y cant they have their own type r? the previous tye r also built in ukQuote:

hahaha you make me laugh buddy, you are a Honda salesman and of course anything released from Honda you will say it's FANTASTIC!! especially this ctr is the first new Honda performance model in quite a while, you would do anything to put gold on it. The only time a car salesman would say anything bad about their own model is when they are trying to push the sale of another.
lol before this comment, I actually thought you had some credibility as a Honda sales person...Quote:

With the weight comparison UK has two versions Non-GT and GT while Australia has one, you might want to double check what version it is in the UK.
someone better warn them to wear their flame suitsQuote:
