The new flyer for the CTR on the Honda website has CW as just an extra colour option, not a special edition model. And with standard colour rims.

If all at redline then 2nd is more like 90-95km/hr.

Which is why 0-100 times are tricky because you need that 3rd gear change to get to 100km/h.

Don't forget that both rear seats fold down totally flat (like in the jazz) which doubles the size of the boot.

Don't forget the handbrake replacement when you are there.

You mean the paint touch-up pen, right?

No need, oil isn't changed at 1,000km service it's not done until the 10,000km service so get them to throw that one in for free.

has Alcantara seats and yep with side airbags.

Well done mate, thats an excellent deal.

I can recommend Astoria Honda in Melbourne, bought mine there and they were excellent to deal with and best price I found.

It's not that far off especially if you don't want too many options thrown in. That's an excellent price to be quoted straight off from a dealer.

I noticed the seatbelt rubbing too. I bought a shoulder pad for the seatbelt, stops it rubbing on the seat.

Nah no need for a war, afterall the OP was about the rear window!

As Frost has shown, at the end of the day your test drive helps determine if you like the car enough to buy it. Personally when I...

Yep you're correct it's plastic not glass so it can't be tinted (my tint guys couldn't do it either). But you don't hardly notice that it's not tinted because it's at a low level and looks straight...

Yep it will come with a paint touch-up pen, boot net and jack for the spare, oh and a service book and manual :p
Everything else on the CTR is an option that you need to pay for or negotiate into...

Nice find. Could be that they are selling slow and Honda don't want to advertise the fact (although they list the single digit S2k sales on there) or could be that someone forgot to copy and paste...

Agree, that's why I gave them a miss on mine. Just adds extra weight anyway. (about 200grams :p)

Pretty sure it's one of the options in the settings in the trip computer.

It comes standard with a badge on the rear. You have to pay extra if you want a badge on the front and stickers on the side.
I think it's a good thing because not everyone likes the look of the...

I wouldn't expect to get it for under $40k unless you are adding no options at all. Retail price is around $43k on the road so you're doing pretty well so far.

Better to aim for 40k or just over...

Great choice, you'll love it. I'm 5k in with mine and it just gets better to drive everyday.

Try not to pay extra for any of the accessories though, most dealers are throwing them in this time of year.

Just adding my 2 cents to the 3rd gear debate. I just had my 1,000km service done and so far (since driving from new) I haven't noticed any issues with 3rd gear, either slotting it in or it popping...

I got mine tinted at another car dealer other than Honda and it looks great. I recently parked my black CTR next to another black CTR I saw in a carpark and compared mine with tint against the...

I wonder if thats the Japanese version of Top Gear?

That is one big thing driving the demand for the FN2R though, the fact that in AUS you can't get the FD2R. If they were both on sale here from Honda dealers then sure we could compare which sells...
