Remember guys, these are stock cars so they have to follow decibel laws. My ST was super quiet from factory. Also not sure if there's a comfort/sport/track modes, they might have just been chill driving with exhaust in quiet mode

Yup! It's gonna be my DD. For me, that's the whole point of a hot hatch! Fun to drive, decently quick, good gas mileage, comfortable, and be practical enough as a DD.

I think the next batch is September man, followed by December. Did your dealership already get 3 CTRs in for July? I think most dealers only get 1 to 2 cars each time.

I want to hear one on hard acceleration or high RPM before judging it too hard, but it felt a little weird seeing a car with such a loud "look at me exterior" having such a quiet exhaust.

It looked like a nice car but I still have a soft spot for the DC2 ITR

The CTR is pretty darn quiet based on its "loud" exterior. Not sure what the rules are but I'd imagine Honda can easily turn it up a few notches and it will still be well within any decibel laws IMO. I think this issue was brought up by many reviewers already. The good thing is that it keeps the wife happy...lol.

There are different modes - Comfort, Sport, +R, but based on my experience, I don't think they change the sound much. I think those modes are strictly for the steering, dampers, and throttle calibration/response.

I am on Vancouver Island.. there is only 1 dealer from a 100km radius.
i think this is why they are getting more than 3.

Duncan Honda wanted a non-refundable 10k deposit.. so i didnt deal with them.

Discovery Honda has gone way down hill since the new general manager took over in 2014. They used to be great to deal with. Now they're basically just another dealership (not worse than the others around Duncan, but they used to be head and shoulders better than every other one).

spotted a CW CTR heading up coast meridian then passed me on the barnett HWY
Other than the rear spoiler it looks like a pretty nice car

iforyou 07-27-2017 12:32 PM

That's probably me! I drove up Coast Meridian at around 7:15am then Barnet hwy a little bit later.

No leasing too?

iforyou 07-28-2017 08:51 AM

I think what he meant is that the finance and leasing rates are not the same as regular Civic. IIRC, the finance rate is 4.24% for 60 months, and lease is 4.99% for 48 months. Regular Civic more like 0.99 or 1.99%?

It was released in Japan recently as well.

Honda?Honda Access????? TYPE R???????

Nah, it's converted to automatic. That's why it cost a bit more. You're paying for the option. Car is also double parked to ensure no one can ding it.

damage doesn't look that bad because of all the sharp angles already on the rear hatch
would be nice if the idiot who wasn't paying attention comp'd his airfare.

twitchyzero 08-01-2017 01:25 PM

sum of parts will always be costlier than the wholesome unit itself...and they stated it was only cosmetic too

Type R conversions are a gigantic waste of resources if you ask me.

Alby 08-01-2017 03:08 PM

hirevtuner 08-02-2017 08:30 PM
