Alot of reviews from normal consumers that had an EP3 and comparing it to the current can be found at civictype-r.co.uk but you need to register to view their forums.
Couldn't find the link for Evo sorry but apparently i think its the same comment like most, it doesn't deserve the R badge.
How does it compare to an EP3????
i ordered one alread, the dealer said they are getting 3 in june and 2 everymonth after that and ill bethe first one to have it in june yeah!!
Oh thats nice. How much did you pay for it? Was it a GT or normal?
I was told at the Melbourne Motor show $38K to $43k.If they can keep the base CTR under $40K ,I believe that it will be competitive.Quote:

they know nothing about the versions yet i think the options will be listed when the price comes out. They havent told me the price yet all i know is that it is within 38-43. I paid 1000 to order the carQuote:

If you go http://www.civictyper.com.au there is a video on the australian launch and it was noted that what we see in europe is what we also get in aus.
When the Megane first came out I thought it was ugly.........but now the cup versions look quite hot.
Hope things change for the R...........such a shame our first civic R starts off on the back foot IMO.
Can anyone comfirm the quote price for the CTR coz I asked one of the sales i know from homebush honda and he cant give me a proper figure its ranging from 40-50K i was like WTF
