How Common are Civic Type-R’s

[badley]

On average I see 7 of these MPVs per day, there everywhere.

Do other people see as many?

 

[Dash]

I see quite a few in Southend, but I may be wrong. It might be the same one every time. They are that quick LOL

 

[Kelly]

I see quite a lot near me - not the same one cos there are Black, silver and red ones heh

 

[TB11]

Lots of these near me, the myth that they will hold their value is on its way out.....

Especially if you bought a red one - theyre now worth on average £1000 less than any other colour apparently.

 

[BozVanDam]

Yeah, theres a couple around here as well - and if theyve reached the Town Of The Living Dead as I like to call it then they are definately on the way out

 

[steveV6]

bucket loads round my way (Bedfordshire), and definitly different ones coz theyre all different colours!

CTRs are very common round here - there is an old grey haired lady driving a silver one and she told me that she used to be a rally driver. I have the only 172 where I live but there are at least six CTRs two black, two silver and a red. The blacks look much better than the others. Apart from my friend who has the red one, the rest are driven by males in their late 20s.

I see 2 often as the owners live closeby, theres also a TypeS with the bodykit down the road. I see as many of them as i do 172s.

i dont see many at all.

dont see many clio 172s either

we are in Z3 and TT territory here.

 

[Jonny Disco]

I see them everywhere.

I was considering one a while back until I went to Silverstone in June for the BTCC. Saw maybe 20+ parked around the car parks, then later on the CTR owners club turned up! another 30 or so.

Was 3 time as many of em on the track than any other car too...

 

[RSTDL]

I see a blacvk, red and silver one over here............more common than the 172............theres only 3 cups in Northern ireland! and Ive opnly ever seen one Mk1 172 and a Mk2 172 here as well!

 

[Padso]

Theres far more Type Rs than the clio 172s and cups in Northern Ireland.

I often see a black a red and silver one in the area i live in(Newry).

Ive only ever seen a 172 at a dealer in Belfast and have seen more V6s on the road than cups.

LMAO Just about sums em up really.

There seems to be loads around Wickford. But there is a dealership local.

 

[paddymph]

theres about 3 CTRs near me and 3 172s.....oh and my 182.

 

[KeithO]

So what does that say, people prefer the CTRs to the 172s? Has the CTR got something the 172 has not?

The car, by peoples comments, is more popular, I dont understant what the point of the thread is?
