How do you guys feel about the CR?
Honestly I dont see whats so great about it.
Its very ugly IMO and honda totally ruined the body lines of the car.
Also they seem a bit over priced, its like the Mugen civic with a body kit and short shifter for 6k more than a base model.

Opinions please.

 

I'm not a fan either I must admit, but you should probably look into the history of club racers.

 

Discussed to death 3 years ago, but hindsight can be fun.

First, most people tell me the CR looks A LOT better in person. The press photo's made the wing and lip look ridiculous. Regardless of looks, the aero helps on track and that is my main concern.

Overpriced? I paid $26k for mine new.

 

Yeah they could be had quite cheap for uber low miles a year ago, or even better brand new for 6k cheaper than people payed brand new for their s2000. I think it looks alright, its more the idea of it coming with a hardtop and being collectible and was a good way for the s2000 to end its life. I don't think they could have pulled it off doing it any year but the last year when several people who had owned 2, maybe even 3 s2000s bought them as a collectible car with low miles for a low price.
In my opinion, I would go with the japanese version I forget what its called, its the cr but convertible, I don't like the crs only coming with a hardtop but oh well.

 

Love everything about the CR except the shovel lip and bench wing.

Edit. Looks more like a snow plow lip.

 

Better suspension, stiffer body, functional aero, and a hardtop... all for the price of the hardtop alone as an accessory. What wasn't to like? If I could have afforded a new S2K, it would have been the only one I would have considered.

 

That is true but when it comes to looks i just cant seem to get a feel for it.
And its not like the S2000 doesn't already have stiff suspension and good body.
Not trying to bash on any CR owners, to each their own but to me the CR looks like a cartoon =/

 

drivers being equal, it's faster around a track then the base model and can be had for about the same price.

 

Have to agree here. Front lip is nasty and while I like trunk lips, wings and spoilers are goofy.

 

I really like the CR. Would have gotten one instead of my 07, but none were for sale at the time >.<
