My daily drive my FN2 GT everyday and it puts a smile on my face. It's a secret track weapon and fun car and a future classic with a legendary engine and space agent area that still not outdated today. The seats are wonderful. The sound is wonderful with a few mods. It's even better

When I was young, I always loved the looks of the DOHC CRX. The FN2 is a kind of look-alike and why I bought mine last year. I always gives you (the) fun to drive, any day of the year.

I love this R. And then years later the Sedan and Coupe have a similar reminiscent front end to this. I love the look and even the way the hatch looks. Its a unique car and it will put in work.

I've been lucky enough to obtain one of these whilst still being fairly young (I'm 24). The car has very low usage and it was very well kept and esteemed by the previous owner (it's got 110k kms on it, which is incredibly low for a car from 2008). It has all the extras of the GT model, except the sat nav and the hands free phone controls. Other than that, the car behaves like a regular everyday grocery getter on traffic but it can be a dynamic hatchback when you really pull on it. I've been blessed by its existence and I plan on keeping mine forever.

I bought a silver fn2 new back in 2009. It was so smooth that sometimes with the engine running it felt like the car was switched off. I sold it to get a Monaro CV8 but I always missed the Honda. After a few other cars I contemplated getting a new Type R. I found I did not want to go that fast and the fake engine sound made me think of how good th real engine sound was on the fn2. I found another silver one a month ago with only 51,300km on the clock. Couldn't be happier. Every drive is a special occasion in the Type R.
