[Kilomatrix]

Wonder why so many people selling off their Colt Version R (CVT) lately.

Rising fuel costs, Limited power, ugly looks(its a personal opinion); lots of reasons.

Just like why theres so many UK type R civics being sold lately.

[Kilomatrix]

But it's only the CVT version. Hardly see any manual version being sold. FC so darn bad?

Ahh CVT; it has its pros and cons. And one of its cons is it being useless on a turbocharged high performance car like the Colt R. Come on; nothing beats the classic sitck shift on such cars.

 

Actually most CVT owners; even those Audi A4's and A6's have some complaints of the CVT being problematic.

maybe cuz they bought it thinking it was a baby evo, got creamed by a real evo and realized that its far from being a baby evo?

I think there is no need to 2nd guess...why dun u ask why so many ppl selling off Rex, Vios, Civics etc? Just becos CVR is not frequently seen as compare to other makes and once a few went into 2nd hand market ppl think its a big deal?

[Kenmical]

U tried smoking one before? It is not branded as 'Baby Evo' by Mitsu...and fyi there is nothing disgraceful being somke by a 300HP/ 39kg 4 wheel drive car at all.

FC depends alot on the driver itself more than the car. Self restrain is the most impt bro...

I like ur ugly looks quote...simply becos there won't be much on the road. Rarity is something i appreciate. I like to look at cars that r far and few on the rd. Vintage included...

You are right too when you said there are alot of FN2R on sale...nothing to shout abt.

bro,nice avtar.

haha.

[Kenmical]

thanks...going for this Friday meet up? I forgot abt the MCF shoot completely until my friends called me at 4 plus. Too late by then. Ahaha

[Weichien]

i think the FN2 looks good. but why is there so many on sale.

[Turbonetics]

most probably not going.

[Nullifi3d]

Personally when i see an FD civic type-R lookalike i always have to eye n it to confirm if its a real Type-R; but with the FN2R you'll know straight away "Thats a Type R".

 

Talk about rarity; the FN2R to me will be a rare sight; i prefer it over the JDM.

[Kenmical]

no doubts abt the look...especially in black. I guess for a simple reason is ppl who drives such car only wanna experience or own the car for short term. After tat they move on.

[Kenmical]

Well i guess we can't keep away wannabe and they hv their rights to be so too. But the diff will tell when we flex both our ankles (for stopping and acc).

 

The most pretty rare car i seen is the LeMan car Audi brought in when they launch R8...next up is F1 cars on our rd.

[Turbonetics]

maybe you can call the owner and ask him?

its very common to see many new cars on sale nowadays.

maybe due to high petrol price?

[Turbonetics]

i seriously wonder who in mind is so silly to think like what you mentioned.
