Genuine question, why i20 not i30? I'd have thought the i30n would be closer alternative to the CTR?
Not around for sale any more, but I had a Megane 300 Trophy for about a year, which is a similar kind of deal to the CTR. Brilliant fun, but awful ride and even worse reliability made me sell it.
Note that I was told by another dealer earlier (back in June) saying it would most likely be a month after the formal release of the new civic. This means our safe bet could probably be late Oct or early Nov. But I won't be surprised if any new development suddenly pops out after all these dramas played in the last few months.
