I heard the Richmond location had 1 as a manager demo and then put it up for bid which ended up selling for over msrp.

Did anyone put in a bid for it ?

I think it was for a white one parked in their entrance, not 100% sure about the color though.

One guy from the Accord forum said this:

As a follow up to some earlier posts in this thread, I stopped by my local dealership today to look at their Civic Type R. What an experience! As shown in the photos below, they roped it off as if it were a 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO. I asked the sales rep if he could open it so I could look at the inside, feel the seats, etc. He said “management won’t let me.” And in a kidding way he then asked, “Do you think you can handle it?” I exhaled slowly, smiled and said, “I think I’d be okay.”

But the dealership’s condescending attitude about this car was both comical and irritating. So I asked the sales rep, “What‘s the real deal? It’s a nice a car but not that special. This Pilot (I pointed to one in the showroom) costs $14,000 more. It’s not roped off. I don’t get this. I just want to sit in it, not drive it.” “Sorry sir, we can’t do it.”

I should have been smarter than to try to reason with him. Anyway, moving on, their mark-up was not horrible. The front seats seemed to be made of a soft velour and looked seriously comfortable! Very red….but very comfy. However the back seat seemed to be the same as a basic Civic....not good. And the tail end has such harsh angles. If the average person who buys a new car is over 50 years old, that is one risky design.

Despite the dealership, the R may still be a contender if the 2018 Accord Sport is to understated for my tastes.

Sounds pretty stupid to me. Come on, it's not a supercar...

Reminds me of the last time I went to the Vancouver Auto Show several years ago and they had the FR-S and BRZ locked and wouldn't let anyone sit in them. Fucking lame.

IMO, for the CTR, I don't think it's the price that is making the dealerships acting weird. It's more to do with how rare it is at the moment. If the dealer were to charge a mark up, then the dealer probably wants to keep the car as new and pristine as possible. And as such, no one is allowed to touch the car. I mean if you are one of those people who have paid a mark up for the car, you probably don't want anyone touching the car before you.

I guess this is just the way things are when a car is rare. I'd imagine once there are more CTRs available, dealers won't be acting like this.

I recall buying my first car and asking if I can check out the Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V and they wouldn't let me inside. I was like wtf and left. lol

I went to Subaru hoping to try a WRX, and they said no.. Like WTF is up with dealerships, I'm not going to buy something I haven't test driven, let alone its not like i was asking to take the STI for a rip. I wasnt even interested in the STI which they should've clued in I was a interested buyer and not just some tire kicker.. But oh well, I even made an appointment.

My gut is starting to tell me to wait till the fk8 cycle is finished before pulling the trigger. Would be nice to see all the variants coming up before plucking the fruit.
And Honda seems to go opposite and pushing more Manual gear boxes feels like there will be a chance for the fk8 R series to be produced in higher numbers.

My gut always tells me there will be some new special/limited edition that makes the early adopters regret not waiting and getting the new edition. Next one might get a phoenix yellow with red seats for a colour choice for an ITR throwback :ahwow::ahwow::ahwow::ahwow:

I have heard others say that the 2017MY will be rare as it ages because Honda will start increasing production of the FK8 so each year will see more and more; thus reducing the rarity. Similar to what happened with the 1997 ITR and why it is the most coveted model year in North America. A long term commitment for sure so perhaps not a factor if you're not looking to keep it forever.

I agree a long term commitment was what I was planning for. Just seeing how the Itr turned out really ended up kicking myself selling my 01 Itr. The fk8 Ctr is first time avail in North America and also still keeping the same pedigree from past Type R and Fwd and the fact that it smashed a record on the Nurburing helps. Was looking forward to daily it with the kids so the Fwd made more sense with weight and u turns and overal operation costs

only if it's got exclusive parts (97 bumpers) or if it's exclusive to a market (99 CDM,) or both (01 CDM)

I think buying it when the hype dies down next year or two and have the overheating kinks worked out is a better bet

Just called Murray Honda they confirmed that they are not taking anymore deposits. Sales said they don't know If they will be getting anymore in for 2018. They said best to call and check as they are no longer taking deposits. Called Vancouver Honda also they too are not taking anymore deposits. They basically said if one comes in they will just call the list they have and whoever shows up first will end up getting it.

I think it is the other way around. The current on going model is the touring which has all the bells and whistles.

but the rumored stripped down one (type R)is going to drop the current msrp a little

They were only selling to locals in Kelowna. Few people called before me and got rejected for not being local. But I noticed that on the day I called, they had released the 2018 FK8 on the website. Also on the same day Kelowna had a snow dump and Coquihalla was closed. It was either they take my deposit right over the phone or they'll sit on their 2017 car until next year.

Some called after me and got told it was sold. Right call at the right time I suppose.

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

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

i do not think that is true. the dealer does not even know what color they are getting until it randomly arrives.. i did not have an ETA. i just got the cargo mats and floor mats. the dealer gave me a nice discount on those.

I initially thought FAST was just another brand of cast wheel, but found out they actually got some good stuff recently since they seem to be increasing in popularity around the GTA area tracks.

Seems like FAST actually has a roll formed lineup of wheels (FC ## Models).
That's the same construction that makes the RPF1 so light and strong, yet value priced at the same time.

Your best bet is to try talking to one of the managers (fleet, business, etc); they may think you're serious. The salesman probably just blew you off or something. I don't know how long the wait was for CW, but I was told there were over 10+ in line.
