You know, I'm starting to wonder whether I should just get an FK8. Can get a late MY2020 or 21 for around £34k, no silly tax rate and less special to worry about parking in a supermarket etc...

Good point, might pop in to the dealership as I’ve not even seen the new civic in personYep, looking like another BoE interest rate rise coming and more than likely a number of further rises to follow. Honda apparently claiming they are increasing prices across the board on all models. I'd be concerned too.
Haven't a clue about allocations. Give your dealer a call and ask for an update?
Yeah tbh I’m still unsure if I’m going ahead - although all options I’m looking at seem to be priced at 40ish k - 3 yo m2 comp / amg a45 - even tempted to look into buying another focus RS - wife has approved a fast car provided it has isofix for the kids seats.
Think the lack of comms is making me go a bit .
As have I (put forward my spec)…I guess I mean, there just seems to be a wide spread on the estimated delivery dates, jan - jun (?) im happy to hold on as it sounds like it’ll be something special…Surely if you have not decided yet there is nothing left to buy?
I don't think these cars have gone to ordinary folk deciding between the CTR and its "competition" but likely into collections or the hands of those with money to burn. Brewsters millions springs to mind.
I'm sure the whole allocation would have gone on 30/11...1 per dealer.
No offence at all. Also I'm not sure there is a lack of comms.. The cat is now out of the bag. I was called to confirm my order the day the car was officially UK released.

Same. I’m still keeping tabs on a late 20-21 FK8. I‘ve been browsing at other cars lately but there isn’t anything that matches the FK8 in terms of fun and practicality. Even if I wasn’t after a Type R but just a regular hatch there isn’t anything out there that meets the needs and styling of my current drive. But I’m beginning to worry if I’ll be able to change cars at all with prices of everything going up. My heart is already half settled that maybe I’ll just have to be driving my FK7 until it stops.You know, I'm starting to wonder whether I should just get an FK8.

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 came out, that is something I‘m not willing to pay.Could you trade or sell the FK7 and go up to FK8?
