No, I was talking about you and your poor driving skills, letting CVTs and autos take your ass. Psssh.
I'm willing to bet it'll surpass 40k. Depends how you option it out though. I'm sure you can get just the car for 36-38k. If you want the aero kit, Honda sensing safety package, performance package, blah blah, it'll crack 40k.

at $40k+, as good as the CTR might be, it will be hard to justify for a Civic...

But you can justify it for a Focus?
#4326
Appreciate the info. At 40K, CTR isn't the right buy for me.
#4327

I'm just speculating. I see it being the same price as the focus, or very close, even if it doesn't have AWD.

2-3 minutes.

Honda CR-V 2012 Road Test
It pulls well and confidently, is sensibly geared at 50kmh/1,000rpm in 6th and appeared happy to cruise at 160kmh all day, traffic permitting. And, strangely, in Eco mode. Yes, even at 100mph the speedometer was glowing green, and 7.1 litres per 100km average is comfortably over 40mpg.

I'm in the minority but after seeing it in person, it just confirms my feelings about not liking the way it looks. I do, however, like the interior much better than before. I'm sure this thing will sell like hotcakes.

Will be stopping by Honda today for some filters, will try to check out a new Civic while I'm there too.
Depending on how close it is to rush hour, may take one for a drive.

Nope That is why i am not getting any one of them. haha
but you know that is all personal preferences, but if i must take 1 from the 3 (Golf R, RS and CTR), then RS would be my choice.

The more i see it on the road the more i like it. other than those ugly wheels.
with a nice set of 18s and slightly lowered, it will look very good.

^ Think Honda could have also done w/ less of the chrome trim up front and the taillights being more elegantly done at the rear (looks better on the hatch version).
But overall, an improvement on the prior generic looking version.
But the biggest improvement is in the dash design.
The Mazda3 is still the best driver in the segment, but this is probably the best all-arounder right now.

^^^Agreed 100% on the chrome. It's not a super elegant design to me. But it looks tons better than previous models.

If it needed to be replaced with another practical sedan. I'd likely go with either a 6MT Mazda 3S Hatchback, or a 6MT Mazda6 Touring.
Luckily, no valvetrain damage to mine so it's back to saving up for a 2017 MX5!

Here's a dyno plot of the FK2 Civic Type R, before and after tune:

And here's a clip of a chipped FK2 vs a modded 385whp S3:

While I can't reveal too much, hondata has been doing extensive testing and tuning on their CTR at my shop. The engine is quite underrated (close to 300 whp) and has lots of potential. Gains of 50-60 hp with just a tune are not unreasonable even on California 91 octane swill. About the only drawback to this engine is that it is much laggier than the German 2.0 turbos. But it also has a lot more power potential on the factory turbo. Think of the response as a little better than an EVO X but with more potential.

273lb-ft tq (371.4nm) to 331lb-ft tq (448.8nm)?
Solid numbers. I'm really curious about traction.

lol tell me about it. Just finished building a 98 Civic with a B20+B16 engine and with the power steering removed. After the tune, it makes about 206hp and 160lbft at the wheels. I decided to have a little fun.....now I fully understand what torque steer is...lol...can't imagine putting a turbo on this....

scratching with both hands while driving a FWD car can be extremely dangerous!!
