Hi everyone, I've been a typical "lurker" for a few months reading up on the Honda Civic as I'm looking to change my car for something a bit different in the not too distant future.

Went for a test drive in a Civic Type R (FN2) this afternoon and really enjoyed it - managed to resist the temptation to open my wallet though!

Currently drive a Mk5 Golf 1.6 (nothing too fancy but get's the job done!) but have always liked the idea of having a "hot-hatch" to play in one day.

So having actually driven the car now I feel like I should at least be polite and say hello as a potential new owner!

p.s. very impressed with the civinfo forum so far- it's always good to get an opinion from an owner's perspective, instead of a journalist's!

Hi Mike and welcome to civinfo.

How serious are you about getting a Type R, are you just considering it at the moment as an option, do you have any other cars in mind.?

The CTR is a fantastic car, you'd love it

Thanks Dimplyred.

I've been reading about the typical hot-hatch cars on the market over recent months, Focus ST, GTI ed30, etc. But there's something just a little "different" about the CTR. In a good way of course!

So to answer your question I'd say yes, I'm considering it as an option, but it's at the top of the list just now!

Just order the CTR..... no use putting off the inevitable.

What colour are you considering? Milano Red is the best as I'm sure DR and a few others will tell you, but then again we're a bit biased.
