comparison with sti (just looking for a local opinion)
Any leads on one for sale?



I cant afford a 'new' car garage queen.
so i daily it. with my family and kids

every option is standard.. apple play/ android / cameras .. it is a huge car compared to my older civics though.. my last one was an EP3.


it does not compromise space and functionality from the regular civic. folding seats and hatch are a real plus..

my kids are quite young, and they like kicking the front chairs. good thing the CTR does not have a cloth back.. it is plastic/ CF material.

I had to get snow tires... the 20" wont work well ... i bought a set of 18" from volco with snow tires.


it is common for the brakes to make noise on low speeds.. if you can live with that... i leave it on sport mode... i parked next to Sti's before, and this car gets way more attention than it. it is a great car!

You can get covers that will protect the back of the seat.

I bought this for my new car to protect the seats, got one for the wifes car too since my daughter is still rear facing

No test drive.

i drove the hatch sport and Si to get the general feel of the size of the vehicle.. but they are totally different.

i waited about 6 months

tofu1413 12-04-2017 12:08 PM

how much sharper is the R vs the Si?

The 'comfort' mode on the R, feels like an Si. The steering is noticeably light but still sporty?

you can still feel every bump in this mode.

but i havent spent toooo much time on the Si to make a fair assessment

They took $2000 for deposit. No mark up. I did add a few accessory. Illuminated side sill, Ambient lighting, and Illuminated console. The sales said if you order the accessory at time of order factory will install the accessory instead of dealer install. Not sure how truthful is that thou.
