Good to read some of you guys on this thread are getting your FL5. Unfortunately, I can't afford one but can't wait to see them on the road for others who can.
Dealer contacted me back in December as I left my contact details with them regarding details and availability of the FL5. The guy told me Honda will be increasing its prices across the range of all cars including the FL5 (as if it's not expensive enough already :rolleyes:).
So after giving up on the FL5 I managed to bag myself a used FK8. I absolutely love it! Had always wanted an FK8 before the FL5 was announced but couldn't find the means to afford it back then so got a FK7 Sport instead.
Admittedly it wasn't my first colour choice (I was looking for SGP, they...
I get the feeling that in Europe and for people like us here we are getting less and less options from car manufacturers, it all seems to be heading towards hybrid/electric cars with no excitement unless you are willing to pay big money for it.
If you take the standard new Honda Civic Hybrid as...
Yeah, I could do that but finding one at a decent mileage, preferably the face lifted version, and sonic grey pearl or racing blue at an acceptable price is a bit of a hard find. When looking for a used 2021 CTR the prices are still high, selling well over what the original price was when they...
Same. Iām still keeping tabs on a late 20-21 FK8. Iāve been browsing at other cars lately but there isnāt anything that matches the FK8 in terms of fun and practicality. Even if I wasnāt after a Type R but just a regular hatch there isnāt anything out there that meets the needs and styling of my...
I can confirm the price increase although not for the CTR but the regular hybrid Civic.
I received a call today from my dealer because I had registered my interest for the Hybrid Civic a while ago. He asked me if I was interested in booking a test drive, and I told him the Civic was out of my...
Yeah, the alternative you mentioned are the exact reasons why I am not considering them as well either, though I actually don't mind the FK8 styling as I am already driving an FK7 but with the FK8 I would prefer the facelift version. Cars won't be getting any cheaper from here on the inflated...
I'm just hanging onto what I am driving now tbh. I do still keep an eye out for a 2021 second hand FK8 but other than that no real alternatives for me. I have already mentioned that the CTR being the prefect size for me and my small family. It can be a good daily to do school runs and pick up...
The pricing is just baffling. Is the new interior and adjustable drive settings worth that much more because it is still the same FK8 engine. I would argue, yes the interior is a big step up but if you compare to some other cars out there it's still not right up there. The dash display and...
Just remembered the price was releasing today, went to the Honda website and 47K! That's just crazy! It is essentially still a Civic at the end of the day! My dream of owning a Japan made CTR (not going to get anymore JDM than that :D) is over. Glad I didn't put any deposit down, saves me the...
Why didnāt Honda release the all petrol, manual 2022 Civic Sport over here in the UK! Like they have in the US? I mean, I would be happy with the Si too!
Iām out if thatās the case! Factor in the expensive car supplement for all cars that exceeds Ā£40,000, which the current rate is Ā£355 plus VED at Ā£165. You will be paying Ā£520 a year on top of any finance/loan taken out to buy the FL5. Not worth it.
Agree with you. Initially I was quite taken back by the video and underwhelmed. But looking in hindsight as a 40 year old guy too, thatās never done track day or plan to, donāt drag or roll, try and drive responsibly, donāt bait others into a show of ego on the roads it really doesnāt mean much...
