How Many Type Rs Sold this Month?

is FN a Type R or a hot hatch?

i think it is fair to say it's not the best car for both.

it fails being a good type r becos it's been toned down. it's more cruiser than race car.

it arguably fails to become the hot hatch brench mark. the R26 and GTI are both better.

i think as pointed out b4, you buy a FN from your heart. i personally can't find any logic to buy a FN if u're looking for the full Type R treatment or the best of the hot hatches.

no car is perfect. at the end, it all depends on your prority. i want a low weight, raw race car for road feeling. hence i choose EP3. it's the only fullon JDM Type R you can buy here. FN is just eye-candy and GTI is too heavy as it's loaded with luxuaries.

In my opinion, all the previous models were lacking features which is why I never contemplated buying them!

It's interesting how opinion can be so divided! :D

I meant performance features, not creature comfort features lol.

Oh yes, of course, how can I forget, you are entitled to your own opinion (behind a keyboard).

Monty you're our hero. Where would we all be without your bravery?

Give me a break. You think I'd shut up if the discussion was in public? Surely you can tell from my posts that I call it how I see it. On or off the intarwebs.

I think thats what everyone else here is thinking...

I just love some of you FN2R owners with your overblown E-WANGs...

Why don't you just admit it and say that your cars may look radical and nuts close to insane but moves slower (in every single direction possible) than its predecessor, its rivals and the DC5R? How the **** is the FN2R superior to the DC5R when it loses out to the EP3R?

Good logic... You wonder why some of you fellas get the crap bagged out of you...

Date, for a start.

Honestly, I can't believe how much you lot bicker over this. The car is fine. The other cars are too but they are old. Honda has moved on whether you like it or not.

GET OVER IT.

And anyway, not everyone thinks the DC5R and the EP3R are the greatest cars in the world either. You do, great - but I'm pretty sure they were never rated as the best cars in the segment even in their prime. And for the record I think they both suck - I don't care how fast they are or how upgradeable they are or how close to JDM spec they are.

It's all a matter of opinion and marketing. Ands anyone who believes in the "Type R" ethos is just that much more of a sucker - no matter what Type R they bought, save maybe the NSX-R.

See, speedy Civics/Integras/etc - hatches or no - are just pretend super-cars - sure, they're not even close - but for just a tiny moment, they make us commoners forget we will never see a black pony in our garage.

That, is what the Type R bullshit marketing ethos is.

And don't think that it was any different for the previous models!

:thumbdwn:

I don't care about Type R...

Date who gives a crap? I'm talking about the fundamentals... Has the new car improved on where the old one left off? NO! In fact, to almost everyone EXCEPT some of you ignorant FN2R owners, ITS GONE BACKWARDS!

So why don't you GET OVER IT, your new Honda is slower than the old ones, slower than its sister car. When did I say DC5R or EP3R was the greatest car in the world? Quote me man...

They suck how? Cause they're faster than your car? They come better equipped? Opinion and marketing blah blah blah... Get past the badge man, I'm not even talking about the bloody badge...
