So if win jackpot, this car can be like free gift + balance sum of money for you to save. Pay the petrol, insurance and road tax no problem until this car condamn. Bank and other investment also got interest.

Well, just saying. not the typical 4D buyer or gambler. Hahaha….

The thing is, on a casual bash down a winding piece of tarmac with a friend perhaps, you'd probably struggle to separate the 2 cars, they'd be closely matched. Which is kind of my point.

As for daily driving, the Golf GTi offers a far better proposition than the CTR, as I'm sure you'll agree. Depending on personal tolerance levels, yes the CTR can still pass off as a daily driver.

couple that with the stiff suspension on the CTR, i'm sure it will also smoke the GTI on the twisties. i've test driven a GTI twice and i used to own a MINI. the GTI is setup for a mix between comfort and performance. so the suspension is considered "soft" by performance-car standards.

but if you consider mod potential then i think the GTI wins easily. a simple APR ecu upgrade can boost the power to 250bhp. add a CAI, TBE, and you could easily be looking at above 260bhp…..but power figures isn't everything.

the reason i said the CTR is a liveable-everyday car is because

1. it has 4 doors

2. decent boot space you can use at the wet market on a sunday morning

3. you don't always have to drive it at the VTEC points!

4. yes, it's manual. people complain about traffic jams. but as my friend once said "what if no traffic jam??? then you let it loose lah!"

5. the car doesn't look too ah beng-ish both externally and internally.

well, just my 2sen.

This bodykit is much more nicer the previous one .. haha

=)

215Nm @ 6100RPM..

but this only 217Nm @ 7000RPM…

So if racing in short distance..the previous Civic Type R can smoke this away man!

1.06 for a road car in tsukuba is really fast.

i remember watching a timeattack special EVO track car doing a 1.00+ in tsukuba.

About smoking a Golf GTi. On a track maybe. In normal conditions, the Golf will seem to be faster and less annoying simply because of the better low to mid range grunt. The very nature of the CTRs engine deems that you be in the right revs (very high) to have power. In other words, you have to drive the CTR very hard to enjoy it. You don't have to with a GTi.

with 10kg, you will still feel the difference.

Hei dude Jackpot has been won by other liao la!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As suggestion DREAM FOR IT………

Mugen done a very good job on this mobile…..overall this mobile look sharp!!

If in white colour i think it will be more COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

but damn man….how many places in KL you get to fully utilize your fully modded evo with some ridiculous hp output like 400bhp or a skyline gtr vspec with some mad 600bhp?

the CTR JDM is a car you can live with and drive on a daily basis and it looks decent – not too ah beng-ish. try sitting in a car that does 0-100 in 6.5s and you will find that the power is damn fun already. you can be king of the road most of the time. hahahahaha. it's not all about who's faster but about what puts a smile in your face when you get into the car and rocket away!

yes, CTR FD2 will be coming to m'sia this year. but limited edition units only just like the civic with the mugen bodykit that is sold. i guess price around 200 to 220k?

it's a pity though..this is a really fun car to drive. ask yourself deep down inside what you are looking for. if you want comfort and something easier to mod then go pick something like the rabbit. a turbo engine is easier to mod with just some boost increase. hell, just put in a APR or Unichip and you get some easy access to horsies.

but modding a NA 2.0L to squeeze out some extra power isn't easy. i'm quite sure we will never see the lights of this car in our shores so a more viable option is to buy the CTR JDM and find out what mugen's mods are and retrofit it. honestly though, 220PS out of the K20A is a damn awesome drive already.

in stock form, i dare bet this car will smoke a regular Golf GTI MarkV both on the straight and on the corners. plus, more importantly, it's a stick. you just can't replace the feeling of pressing on the clutch with your left foot and dropping gears as you power out of a corner.

sweeeet!

evo, sti,, european's bullet -VW GTi-R, new C4, clio v6,180R,opc…ect would be a better choice .

my 2 sen.
