I had a euro R only had to replace the brake booster due to normal wear and tear. Later on I got an e46 and e92. I swear I had sensor issues and over heating issues blah blah blah the e92 was from a dealership too! I went back to a Type R and I'm grinning again. Hondas are more reliable imo.

only 1 thing i dont agree on, i wouldnt include the servicing and fuel costs in the total as money spent on a car because no matter what car it is those are always going to be included as everyday running costs. how ever i spent $4000 aud purchasing mine and with modifications ive spent a further $6000 and i honestly couldnt be happier clocked around about 20,000km in the 18 months ive owned it to calculate petrol costs is impossible as sometimes a full tank is worth $80 and sometimes its worth $110
