Like i sed... we havent test drive both of the car, we cant judge which one give better performance and better features... Cant judge them by looking @ the price and statistic... must drive them yourself to find which one better... ^_^
Apparently test driving isn't enough overall as you can't exploit its potential due to a dealer on your back, the CTR is a better car over time as you begin to mold into according to the UK CTR forums. But yes i agreed everyone has different tastes and you cant judge them until you've test driven them both. But so far the reviews from consumers have been positive for the ctr.
you have to put down a deposit if you want the type R...
If you put down a deposit wouldn't you run the risk of a dealer jacking up the price? or do all dealers have a set price ? not 100% sure how this works =)

No not correct. You run the risk of it not being higher than expected, however, no dealer can sell a car for more than RRP - if they tried to do this they'd end up with a massive law suit. So basically you'll get the car for what any other dealer is selling for. They wont be discounting the car, if you want one secure it now. If you decided not to go ahead its not real hard to pull out anyway, when i worked selling cars it happened all the time. People just make up a bs story and stick to it and the manager will almost always let them get away with it so they dont have to deal with the rubbish..
The whole thing of "put down a deposit now or you may not be able to get one" absolutely sucks and makes me want to just go MPS3. I'm not putting down a cent until final features list is confirmed. And then I want to be able to actually test drive one in a reasonable environment before making a decision.
Mazda organised it so that I could try their 3 on Sandown...

NO! u can leave a deposit so u make sure u get one of the first ones and u dont end up waiting for one!
IF u leave a deposit just sign up the contract subject to the pricing when it comes to hand from honda! If ur not happy with the RRP u can get ur deposit back.
ive sold cars subject to test drives too. similar thing too.
The XR5 focus is selling well, so well they dont even have a demonstrator so people come in to work put a dep down to get one then if they dont like it when it arrives they dont have to take it, coz if they done there are another few hundred people who want one!
oh and yes as another smart member has said, if u 110% want one put ur deposit down now coz as i said i know how many we are getting and there will be no discount at all!
If u want to pull out and get ur deposit back i doubt there will be a problem as there will be a list of about 50 other people wanting one!

I wonder if Honda is going to pick up the glove?
lol no chance! u as i posted lots of ford dealers dont even have an XR5 to test drive!
Well as long as you can pull out without any penalties then thats sweet.
Not in a really big rush to get it as the longer i wait the more longer i can save.
