With the competitors in that price range... definitely not worth it
They say that, but still they sell the UK Type R as a Type R. So they might be saying that but they are not doing it.

I reckon the reason they didn't bring in the FD2R is because no one would buy it at that price. For 55k, I'd get a Liberty STI and if I could stretch to 60k, I'd get an Impreza STI instead. You could even get an EVOX for 61-62k.
