Wrong and right. If we are talking about 200k price list, then the bimmer doesn’t have a product here. The gti on the other hand is a direct competitor to the ctr. It just shows how different car manufacturer car design philosophy, regional and social preference, etc. (e.g, ctr europe is made to cater to regional preference and asian ctr is more for japanese). Each has it own merits.

in some european the advantage is no AC is normal and the ambiance temp is lower ,the air is denser.

nice looker

go go DC5

all i can say is; comparing the CTR and the BMW/Merc is just out of context. BMW/Mercs are cars simplifying/defining elegance, class and comfort. whereby the CTR is a car that offers u power, performance and all the sportiness a luxury car cannot offer and vice-versa.

it’s typical for someone to compare this brand new CTR with a used Evos and/or Scoobies. Yes yes, more power, turbo, it’s 4WD….. right. thing is, the CTR has got no turbo and it’s running on front-wheel @ 225ps and it’s one of the quickest FWD ever made in history! PERIOD. by the way, did i mention that maintaining the Evos and Scoobies is/are twice if not three harder than maintaining an NA-car? Speak about turbo leak…

i read someone comparing the CTR and a normal FD with Type-R bodykit and that others wouldnt be able to differentiate between the original and the fake? well if u own a CTR, why would u care if others are gonna know if it’s real or otherwise? thing is, u bought it, u know it’s real, u have it in ur hands, be proud of it, be oh-so-bloody-happy u’re owning a limited production car!

I mean this is a performance car, and will do well in the track. Can the 320i or the C200 or the Golf GTi tapau this car on the track?

I don’t think so, unless the driver is weak.

This is a car appreciated by those who are keen on performance rather than anything else.

The WRX, brought in by Motor Image, are the lowest specced WRX. Unlike EVOs where their basic package is already enticing, the stock WRX is nothing to shout about. It even runs on a mildly treaded 16-inch tyres that flexes like mad.

Even the 2.0GT Lancer has better tyres than the WRX here.

So if you are considering between the Bimmer or the Golf GTI, it shows that you don’t appreciate performance. Petrolheads will straight away choose this AhBeng Typist…err….I mean Typer, in a second.

So expensive, better buy a bmw or merc!

japan car no matter how good, still for those not that rich.
————————————-

The rich don’t care if it’s Japanese, German or Italian. They buy what they like. It’s only those not so rich who WANNA SHOW OFF that will buy a bm or merc when they can get better cars for the same price.Besides, there are Japanese cars that are better than even Europeans. Is there a bmw or merc than can beat the EVO or WRX in the World Rally Championship? Can they match the low interior noise of the Lexus LS?

Or just get the older 2.0 WRX for less $$ and more HP. I believe Motor Image still have those in stock.

Seems like all other cars were ‘hesitant’ to downshift in the corners, just so the Civic Type R could get away. Especially the NSX, where the driverdidn’t change gear and had to wait for the engine to rev from 4K rpm. My gosh the Civic is such a sore loser

:\

Japanese
Civic + R&D + R&D + R&D + R&D = Civic Type R

Malaysian
Civic + Sunway + Brother’s = Civic Type R

LoL…That was what I was trying to say earlier, basically.

Well done Ingolstadt for putting it in a much easier to understand way.
