Hurr

Sounds to me like you cant afford the running costs of it. Have you considered the Si instead? Or maybe the Prelude? Yknow something a little more "low rent" for someone of your income. Since apparently $150 is a lot of money to you.

>>28916331
What do you think I make? Just curious what goes through your head when you make the "ur poor" post.

Also, GR86 at that point.

>>28916305
You see kids, this is what happens when someone buys the sport trim of an economy car thinking it'll be just as good as a real sports car. Don't be like him.

>>28916305
I can't believe the type r civic is a 6.5k redline riced out van on 22s now holy shit what the fuck happened
>>
>>28916380
I guess you can keep talking shit. Base C5 doesn't need CTR gap insurance if maintained.
>>
>>28916305
CTR is a big scam. If it was 10k cheaper the car would make more sense. Go with an Elantra N or WRX instead
>>
>>28916472
This objectively false. N, while good, is a hyundai. R has VW reliability and costs and no manual iirc (could be wrong). GR Corolla is a cuckmobile. GT and no-visibility-maro are ok, but very different cars. Z gets smoked by CTR literally off the line. Supra and M2 are a much higher class of car. WRX is not even worth mentioning in this class. Yes, 270hp on paper, but not a sporty car in reality.

>>28916305
Bruh, all rear calipers are like that now.
You can rent the tool for $0 at AutoZone.
Can also rent a piston spreader if you absolutely can't do it yourself.

Front HPS pads for TypeR :$170.
Stop complaining.
>>
>>28916479
All the cars you mentioned are a better buy than the CTR, except the Golf R which is also overpriced. You can buy a supra for the same price as a CTR. The pricing on this car makes zero sense, its a fwd econobox.

> You can buy a supra for the same price as a CTR
Heh. My CTR was 50k OTD, everything. A MANUAL Supra is going to be 70k with much higher running costs.
>>
Shoulda bought a K20 swapped EK faggot.

>>28916504
I have an 8th gen Si. It has like 10k in just maintenance parts, same as depreciation on CTR.
>>
raped by the GTI
>>
>>28916511
What's that got to do with anything?
>>
>>28916515
Objectively incorrect, though GTI does ok against it on downhill if the CTR is on all seasons and chasing. If not, it's not even close.
>>
>>28916495
>paying 50k for a CTR
you are a lost cause
>>
>>28916521
maybe your base mutt model, our Edition 50 is superior though.
and unlike the CTR its lap record was done unmodified

> The 2025 GTI with the dual-clutch automatic got to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds in our testing. That's quicker than the Honda Civic Si but slower than the Hyundai Elantra N.

Very cute.

a base model gti with a remap is even faster btw

Oh, wow, it's like a CTR puts out 380hp on literally just a tune.

Fuck anon.
I've driven a Si around a local track and it was fairly fun for $24K.
I can't imagine spending $50K on a fucking civic.

Mfs are paying 60-70
