I'm only curious because I've owned a Evo X. I still haven't had a car exit a corner like an Evo X, not my RS or the M235i I had before. If the Civic type R is anything like the Evo, I'm impressed. |

On the evo comment, the evo scrub going fast out and easily over driven. If you want a fast out car try the Porsche 991.2 cars. I can't wait to see the lighting lap and comparason articles to verify my claims. |

This might be an interesting car to me but I can't get over how BAD it looks. No matter how awesome this car handles, this is were I draw the line. My 2 cents.

As an old fart, I couldn't bring myself to buy a FWD sports car, no matter how it looked.
The looks here don't change my mind. Still, the OP is happy with his new car, so shitting on it too much is bad form, in my opinion. It's what he wants at a price point he's comfortable with. |

Sorry, when I opened the thread it went to the first unread post, which was by the dude who just bought a Civic and was clearly happy about it. So he wasn't the OP, he was an in-the-middle P....I

It's not really that limited, estimates are 6000 Type Rs in North America between both the 17 and 18 model years. It's such a niche car in the US (manual, FWD, hot hatch, polarizing styling) that it should end up having far more supply than demand in my opinion. It's the hype and the false demand the scum dealers are trying to portray. It's an exactly copy of the Focus RS launch where cars were selling for 50-60k initially, but now a bunch are sitting on dealer lots at MSRP.
Lots of people who idolized the Type R growing up up are at the age where we can actually afford 60k for one so many of those are willing to pay a significant premium for one of the first few batches of cars. Like I said in another thread, I can certainly afford it but it's against my principles to pay markups (especially 20k ADMs!). |

My first car was a Honda (by choice) and I've owned several Hondas over the years and so the thought of buying the best performance Honda has me intrigued. I ordered the M2 and now in wait mode. I do plan to test the Civic Type R and if I like it, might just opt for it instead. I will say my wife no doubt will give it a big thumbs down but she doesn't have to ride in it if she doesn't want. Wife loves the M2 in LBB. One thing I won't do is pay over MSRP which may mean no R. p.s. Just watched videos Matt Maran and Doug Demuro did on the Type R and the M2 and withut a doubt the M2 looks at least $20K better than the Type R. Demuro didn't like the power or sound of the Type R which are 2 thigs that would bother me. Last edited by M2 Maybe; 09-04-2017 at 11:45 AM.. |

Around a track, I believe the two are very comparable. |
