Just to stress again (as I saw the usual mistake repeated above) that the depreciation is NOT better on a CTR. Depreciation compared to list price is better on the CTR but most people are paying two to three thousand less than list for their 182 whereas no discounts were available for me on a CTR.

agree, according to autocar:
Honda Civic Type R= 16,380 retains 60% value = 9828 after 3 years
Clio 182 = 14,800 retains 49% value =7272 after 3 years
No discount on CTR and say the average 182 is bought for 13k then it retains 56% of its value, so theres not that much in it
I considered the CTR when I had the money to buy a new car. It would have been a older than my 182, with more miles, and little (or no) warranty left. I do like CTR's, impressive performance, nice interior, decent build quality etc. I'm not really taken by the looks mind, unlike the 182 which I luv the look of 
All in all, glad I went 182 really.

i personally wouldnt spend the same money, to buy a car thats 2 year older, no warranty, same performance, more common (in my area), no xenons, no climate control, no cruise control, etc JUST because its got a bit better build quality..*

Yeah the build is better and I assume customer service is better too! but honestly I dont think the build of my 182 is that bad, yes it could be better and its clear they have cut corners, but its nowhere near as bad as my mates 206 when you slam the door it feels and sounds like it will come off!
don't know about that ek9 type r
they've cut down the weight 30kg compared to civic siR, added 15 more hp...but they've left the gearbox untouched, so it's really hard to tell where they got those impresive 0-60 stats...
anyway, best motoring tested the ek9 type r and they ran it 15.8s on a drag strip...

Golf GTI Ed30
Autocar tested the EK9 a few years ago and managed 5.6 0-60 in it. But the best figure was the 0-30, which was something daft like 1.8 secs... That's 4wd territory!!! I'll see if i can find the test....

I test drove the clio and CTR back to back:
'Civic Type-R, very comfy, and the gearbox was lovely with good positioning on the dashboard, but didn’t do anything until 10 million revs and the steering was very artificially weighty which I didn’t like. The thing that put me off the most though was that it was like driving a rocket powered Renault Espace, it felt and looked like I was driving a family bus. A good car for a young couple with a newborn child, lots of space and practicality but with decent driving fun for the weekends – great for the guy who refuses to grow old and buy an estate car to please the wife and kids.'
'Clio 182 ‘full-fat’ with both cup packs. I got in, turned the traction control off and pulled away …. it felt alive, excellent steering, with feedback bombarding you from all angles. Reminded of the first time I drove a 106 gti, just like a go-cart with the potential for much grinning and idiotic driving. Hit 5k rpm and it took off, spinning round to the redline before you realise its time to change gear. Awesome fun and just what I want, im losing the outright speed of my car, but the buzziness and handling ability more than make up for it . . and it’ll cost bugger all to buy & run.'
I bought the 182 and havent looked back

"cruiser" PMSL! Revs to 9k comes on cam at 6k and is unstable in the wet?
Went out for a so called "cruise" in mine before. Bit wet on the road spirited driving almost understeered into someones garden. Came out of supermarket nearly drove over the roundabout (again). Love a good relaxing cruise.

I would have liked to up grade my cup for a 182 but you've got to try other stuff surely.

MY FATHER IN LAW HAS CTR I HAVE 182 AND HAVE DROVE HIS QUITE A BIT I MUST ADMIT THE CTR IS NICE BUT I ALWAYS PREFER MY 182 MUCH MORE FUN TO DRIVE
sorry about caps lock just realised

im in a similar position where i am looking at getting a new car about March and am really stuck between teh CTR and the 172/182. obviously the clio has more and is cheaper and from what i have read its more of a drivers car so that is swaying me. i will also be test driving both in the new year so we will see!
182 is definately more fun to drive, plus the CTR is expensive in comparison. I was sooo close to getting a CTR but the second I drove a 182 I forgot all about the Honda...
The winning comment though is that girls will prefer the 182 to a CTR... You show up in a Honda and they'll think yer a grandad... lol

Now this is getting really silly.
LOL! I had a look over there out of interest and they all seem to have little problems with there cars too! to be honest i think i will end up going for the clio. i have had an RSI, valver and a 2.0 valver and i really like chucking them about. i think the Civic is a bit too big and a lot more money.
I love my 200sx as its got a real kick and fun to go sideways but with all that power keeping it in a stright line is a bit of a nightmare! lol and you can not do corners like a little hatch.
