Hey all,
Thinking of getting a FN2R, is there anything in particular I should look out for when inspecting one?
Are there any known problems they have?
Besides the LSD and bluetooth is there much difference between an 07 to an 09 model?
Thanks!

Do you even google?
No.
What's the point of a forum if you can't ask questions?
Thanks :)
Never said you couldn't/weren't allowed to ask questions, no point getting defensive or jump to conclusions.
I purely asked a question, which was directly as to whether if you were aware of selected search functions that are available.
The links I provided above, may or may not directly relate to your question, but are going to provide the answers that you desire.
I wish you the best of luck in your future purchase.
Lol not upset bro hence the happy face...
Tried a search on here but came up with nothing.
Once again thanks for the links but still not 100% on which year model got what etc or if the lsd or bluetooth was a standard or option in the 09+ model.
Biggest differences when it was revised was the addition of the colour option of Championship White, they came standard with LSD, reverse sensors, foot well lights and rear view mirror dimming function.
Most of those things can be added as aftermarket options, but you may find minor tweaks of other parts that aren't noticed as easily.
Oh cool that makes it easier for me to be able to tell if it's an 09 model now.
I've seen a couple of 09 model ones on the net but when I typed their number plate into the RTA system they state that it's an 08 model. But I suppose I could just check the build date plate in the bay.
Also I read something on here that only the 09 models made after May or something came with the LSD, is there any truth in that? Is there a way to check if it has the LSD?
Cheers!!
go as later model as your willing to afford, generally the newer the better condition it will be.
although if u find an older one with LSD in decent condition it would be cheaper. or get one and install aftermarket LSD, so you dont have to worry.
EP3R over FN2R
.. top gear, Jeremy says it all :) .
I'm not getting a FN2 for the speed or cornering factor otherwise I would just keep my Evo if that were the case.
I've been in the JDM turbo scene for over 10yrs and can't jump into an Accord euro just yet so the FN2 is kind of my dialling down type of car (if that makes sense lol) and because it's newer.
It will be very hard to let the Evo go, might even shed a tear or two :(
Ahh, yes I went the full route, Jazz > AE111 > S14 > Euro, suprisingly the euro isn't a bad drive if you put it into sports ( wouldn't bother buying a manual euro ). although I have an eg for track duties.
With new cars there generally aren't many problems with it, I'd say do a vehicle history search to make sure it hasn't been written off, check panel gaps/paint, wear and tear, signs of rust and general service history.
Chances are you may be able to find an FN2R with extended warranty ~5 years as I did with my 2008/9 euro and I'm not flustered if anything goes wrong, would just take it straight back to the dealership.
