Im thinking of selling up and getting one on a 2007 plate with 37k miles. Anyone driven one? How does it compare to a bolt on modded civic? I hear they do pretty well with a remap bringing them near 400bhp?. Only thing that puts me off is id be spending 10k as well as chopping my civic on a 2007 model hmmm..

Does it have to have 37k on the clock. Sounds like you are limiting your self.

-____- its the one in particular i am looking at lol

Snafu has one..

Very quick cars.. however I did hear that you get turbo failure issues and coil pack I think? this is with the pre facelift version. looking around 50-60k mileage mark you can get some well spec'd 335i's.

are you aware that 56-57 plate cars are £480 a year to tax too??

[mr-modster]

Wow didnt know that o_o. Seriously considering keeping the civic over the last few days. And saving money :scratch:

expensive cars to keep as well as buy.

£500ish for two rear tyres

Not bad, my 2 rears for the civic cost over £450 - and I'll need to replace them for MOT in August :bad-words:

Well depends what you want. I had the OEM tyres on the CTR and got a a similar expensive tyre for my 18" wheels. Then I paid about £320 for 4 18" Federal tyres. Might sound silly but best tyres I have had on my ctr. Better grip in wet and dry and I feel more planted. I wont be going back to the previous brands.
