The FD2 was the most overrated car I've ever owned. My old FN2 drove better by a long margin.

There must have been something amiss with your fd2 mate.[emoji15]

If you could buy the FD2 in the UK it wouldn't have the god like status it enjoys on Honda forums.

[RM CYA]

Looks good! Would much rather this over an FD2.

ST

Been finding out about these. Saw really good lease deal. Decent drive / spec / practicality. But the deal was on st-3 on cars already built and in stock. Cruise control is only an option, so couldn't get a car with one. Looks like you have a lovely car, hope it serves you well.

FD2

Owned one of these as well. Took it on track as well. Really good fun. And std brakes more than enough for track days. Infact std suspension is better on track than road. Cracking cars. But you really have to like your Hondas to justify the premimum in buying one. They are nothing special to the majority of people.

They are nothing special

Is where you should have stopped with the fd2

What's with all the FD2 hating lately :vconf:

They are absolutely epic, easily the best type R I've ever owned.

Hay Ford better than a Fd2. What more needs to be said.

Comparing Civic Type Rs. Best there is.
Comparing Type Rs, certainly up there.
Comparing £15.5k car (what mine cost in 2011 - 2008 car) with other performance cars at a similar price year. You start to think your money could buy you a lot more. Something as track focused - not sure you can find something. But something better built, fast drive on the road and all modern creature comforts, sure you could have got some nicer cars.

I guess the thing is if you lived in Japan and bought the car, its a performance bargain. But by one in the UK, you are paying a premium, more the rarity than how good the car is. Dunno perhaps its sour grapes on my part cos, Burton now owns my car and I don't think he's stopped smiling since

And that is the truth! Still smile now every time I get in it and take for a blast along a good road. The nurburgring reinforced my love for it too, and. Even amongst the exotic cars in the car park by the entrance it was getting noticeable attention and people stopping to ask about it.

Certainly no plans on selling it any time yet. Just have to thank 'uknowiama' for selling it when he did!

Just remember a ford is a short step away from vauxhall.
