how come they don't let you drive it? several people have mentioned this?

Are they afraid you're going to drive off with it?

You won't get much off the FN2R, Honda is pretty determine to sell it no less than 45k for 09 model with lsd and rear parking sensor. Only option to nag the dealership for extras. just get 07 or 08 model and put lsd in it.

good luck to them.......

personally i'd also buy the WRX. best bang for your buck + good features (eg. HID).

with the $4.5k left over, i can get coilover or some tasty 18s.

no idea man.

we test drove the FN when they released but my friend couldn't get a test drive now. don't understand.

wouldve been better if they made the fn2 abit lighter. bad power to weight ratio x.x

if you could get the price down to $40's for the CTR 09 with LSD, would you think it's worth it?

I don't mind it as my everyday drive, prefer it over the WRX though.... but it's a close call between the Golf GTI - although the new GTI model is due out soon.

i would prefer CTR 09 over Golf GTI. personally i like the look of the CTR but WRX does have value. Depend if u like NA or turbo i guess

**asiansquad** · 23-07-2009 09:16 PM

i just purchased one for 45k and i'm quite happy with it

**redbull&vodka** · 23-07-2009 09:20 PM

asiansquad did you get much off the price or is that rrp?

yeah don't mind the car - did u get the 09 model with the lsd? End up getting the white or another colour?

**asiansquad** · 23-07-2009 09:22 PM

got a bit off..can't rememebr what the rrp was.

yeah i got white, with the emblem set, glowing sills, cf dash, rear tray, tinted windows, interior and exterior protection
