For 50 K, I'd raid my bank account so fast they'd think I robbed it. 100% interested in the s2k coming back as well.. Buy a cayman or boxster. New Honda sucks. |

Meh, paid $42k for a used Type R two years ago. BAT had a yellow FK8 sell for $102k last year.
Could have bought 2 type R’s for what I paid for my 911 and the Porsche really ain't a better car. Owning and driving both, the Type R is a fantastic performance bargain. |

Type R’s are fun cars. They scoot and have room for the family (until you end up with 3 kids like me). I enjoyed mine and the ditched it for the Raptor when our 3rd was in the way.
 Attached File Attached FileThe only shitshow that comes attached to Type R’s is that they’re tire eaters. Regardless of the alignment they will eat the inside edge of your tires within 15k miles like clockwork.  Attached File |

Cargurus has a nice little tool for checking the price trends for a car. It's what I used to verify I wasn't completely crazy before posting lol. It's only limitation is they only have data going back to 2011 or so (when their site launched). I think they basically just keep a history of the prices people put on the car when selling. Not perfect, since a lot of dealers don't advertise the ADMs they ask for. Heres the page for the Type R: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/price-trends/Honda-Civic-Type-R-d2568 You'll probably have to set the start date to something like 2016 to catch the beginning of Type R production. But its a neat little tool, I use it to track the value of my cars from time to time. |

Impressive cars and the new generation has toned down the appearance a bit. I just have no interest in a FWD car at that price range. I'd rather sacrifice the 10/10 performance at the track for a lot more fun in the winter with AWD which is when I'm typically driving cars over taking the bikes anyways.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't know anything about them. Are they fast? Hopped up motor? Looking at the Golf R they are obviously are made to compete with eachother. I'm a huge AWD fan so I'd go that way if I were in the market but they are all too spendy for me. Look at Nordschleife lap records and where the CTR lands. That being said, the new MSRP is already too high and the dealer markups are absolutely insane. Keeping my FK8 but if I were buying something it'd be a GR Corolla. |

Gotta be true, right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_N $50k still gets you a good “driver quality” SC or 3.2 Carrera. I don’t equate “fun to drive” with Nurburgring lap times, for an everyday car on public roads I think the coronation is inverse if anything( it also isn’t fair to compare times from 2022 with those from 20 years ago, tire technology has come a long long way in that time and I suspect a lot of those cars on your list would be much faster on whatever tire the Civic was running(Cup 2 R most likely )). As far as holding value a 911 is as safe a place as any to spend your money on a car. All that being said I like the Civic and I’m glad Honda is continuing to make it, regardless of price, I’m glad they brought back the Integra too. Not too many drivers cars being made these days at any price point. |

They won't even let you test drive them. Anyway, I'm kind of kicking myself in the ass for not buying a WRX STI a few years ago. |
