Versions
Type R GT includes, dual zone climate control (Left:right independent), rain sensing windscreen wipers, refrigerated glove box, automatic headlights with dusk sensor, front fog lights, power folding door mirrors, cruise control, front and rear curtain airbags. It is finished in the same three colours as the standard FN2, and a new addition the range, deep sapphire blue pearl. As often, names and trims vary even within domain markets down to local ones, and a Heritage version replaces GT version in some of them, adding Xenon/HID lights to the mix. The topping Heritage Navi version adds Bluetooth telephone system and voice recognition DVD satellite navigation. A more radical version dubbed Race differs from the Heritage by removing components (incl. HID, AC, fog lights, audio system, sound proofing, some airbags) to reduce weight as much as 40 kg (88 lb). Finally, together with the 2009 revision to all 8th gen. EDM Civic variants (adding for example a USB iPod-compatible plug to the audio system), a special edition called Championship White comes in the eponyme Honda colour, with the same alloys only with matching white colour, 18" wheels (19" white Rage optional). This edition adds an exclusive limited slip differential to a Heritage trim level, which Honda touted at Paris Motor Show as helping the car shave off more than a second to its undisclosed Tsukuba lap time. In addition models made from 1 March 2010 have LSD fitted as standard.

Assuming you are talking about the Civic R; the engine, suspension, power and all the other things that make it a car will be the same across both models. The GT has a few extra luxury items, which will probably add weight to the car and make it slower. It probably also has a 'GT' badge somewhere.
If he's trying to sell it, then remember that he's going to try to get as much money out of you as possible. You have to keep as much of your money as possible. Being a GT does not add value to the car at all once it's second hand so he shouldn't be considering all that in his price...

Good luck with your GTR.

What? Of course GT adds value - to anyone wanting the extra luxuries. If you don't want extras, don't buy a GT.

There's no GT model in Australia, there's either the type r or non type r

There is a GT Option in Aus.

I would get the GT if I were going to buy the failure FN2R.

I even like the look of the GT better.

Dealer is correct , GT is the higher model. As it comes with extra's dat the normal FN2R didn't.
