Nope, as a kid I liked the CL9 when it first came out but I'm the type of person that wants the latest model of everything so never really looked at the CL9 when purchasing.
I saw a parked CU2 in the car park and I was just like, I want that as a first car.
I didn't buy mine brand new, I purchased it with 35k km on it at the start of last year for quite a nice price (it would have probably been lower than some CL9 equivalents with the same km's at the time).
Take a look at Euronoobs Euro, he bought his CU2 when he first got his P's and look at what it has become:

That's tasteful modding. I like my cars clean and subtle.
It really depends on what you like. If you like the modded up 90's civics then you'd probably like modded up CL9's as there are more kits of this variety available for it.
EDIT: Read the beginning of this thread, CL9 owners switched to CU2 and CL9 owners stayed with CL9's and the switchers said that the CU2 was in every way better with a sportier handling and a more aggressive look while CL9 owners said they still preferred their sleek styling and handling.
It's all about your personal preference, don't let anyone tell you what you'll like. Be happy with the car you chose.
