^sorry not everyone here have to like your car
so dont give us shit , i also think its not really a real 'type R'

You don't have to like it but don't criticise it. Hey, at least it's better than what you got.

Type R = Type R irrespective of where and when it's made.

DC2R = Type R
DC5R = Type R
EP3R = Type R
FN2R = Type R
FD2R = Type R

They are all variants of a Type R. Saying its not 'real' is an insult to Honda engineers and researchers.

Lets be real here. If the so called "real" Type R came to Australia you or 98.5% of the people here wouldn't buy one anyway. Calling yourselves diehard fans and crying about getting a "watered down version" serves no justice if you're not willing to buy it. Oh, and test driving it doesn't constitute a "fan".

DC2R is an 8 year old car that's worth peanuts in monetary value.

i just believe the real type r are dc2r and fd2r since those are the hardcore one.
but stuff like fn2r and euror they more just sport style.

however, i still personally love euroR and it is still my favorite type r even tho people say it's not real r

What is your definition of hardcore? The fact that it requires 100+ octane, gets from A to B in fractions of a millisecond quicker than the "sport style" cars? The fact that it lacks air conditioning and a stereo therefore it's a "pure-bred and thunderous racetrack demon"?

What, also, is people's definition of "real"? Is it the converse of a fake? I just find it rather silly how people create trivial facts out of thin air without supporting and compelling data.

its down to what each driver likes. its great u enjoy the fn2.
i think u need to take critism about cars. after all its ppls opinions, and in the end as long as YOU the owner enjoys it.

have u driven any other type r other then the fn2? just out of curiousity

I don't agree that Chinese dont like to drive hatchbacks.

Its just that Chinese don't like spending more on a hatchback than a sedan. Jazz price for a hatch? Yes. Type R price for a hatch? No.

EuroR in my opinion is the worst type R out there. Its like having an Oddyssey type R or CRV type R.

I'm chinese (not mainlander chinese) and i drive the FN2R, but i think its true that asians in general don't like to drive hatches

Thats why its called the EURO-R and not a typeR, i think the euroR is a great car for what it is, cheaper than base model audis, mercs and bmws with arguably the same amount of comfort with more performance

Was wondering as well if the owner of the milano red FN2R is a member here, the one that was beside me at the lights in caufield and I mentioned it was a nice car in a nice color

What you mean it's not a real Type R? It's branded Type R, sold as Type R, marketed as Type R, registered as Type R, insured as Type R, hell it even has Type R badges inside and out.

Integras and Civics with fake Type R badges are non type Rs.

What you're referring to is that there are 2 civic type Rs. One is for the european/australian market and the other is for the asian market. Both are Type R's no matter what you think it is.

Your FD1 is what we call a non Type R.

And don't give me that "its not as hardcore or raw" crap.

what i'm said no offense to fn2r owner, just my 2cents
like merc E200 or S320, it's merc, sold as merc, registeres as merc,and bla bla bla, but for us, it's "shemale"

Anything merc is grandpa to me, except the SL series. (nice avatar btw.. *cough*)

The EuroR isn't a Type R.

[aaronng]

If these guys don't consider the FN2R a real Type R, I wonder if they consider the DC5R a Type R since it is very watered down compared to the original spec.

You left out the EK9.

To be fair, people are entitled to their own opinions, although I have to admit the FN2R is getting alot of unwanted bashing.

The FN2 is a type R, but not the track orientated type R japan always brought out. Perhaps this is the reason why people are giving it alot of stick, but as the saying goes, the grass is always greener on the other side. If the FD2R made it here, it might not be the frequently talked about car anymore. People always like things they cannot get.

A car that is 8 years old does not mean it is worth peanuts, it depends on the condition of it and if a genuine DC2R had only 10K on its clock, I am sure it won't sell for peanuts.

Anyway, just enjoy your car and that's the most important.

Cheers.
