That’s just stupid price. Can’t see it in my head as more than $35k car used when Focus RS is right there!

A 5 year old car costs less than a brand new one. This is breaking news

I hear LE CTR is over $55k it’d???

$54,600 base. Canada's entire allocation (100 cars) apparently sold in 4 minutes.

Where did you hear this?
Have they released an MSRP for this?

Official MSRP has been out for a while now. Certainly is expensive.

For ~ $35k, used 2017 CTR and Focus RS are great fun cars to own, reliability for Ford is a concern ..

MSRP in 2017 was $40,890 as well. The only 2017 I've seen for sale was $37K. Regardless that is some pretty amazing resale 4 years later

And yeah, I would not touch a used RS. People seem to be having so many problems.

Shoot ..

Even more Crazy for Focus RS, when I bought my CTR, I did look at the RS, yes, their Retail was over $60K, with with $12K whatever rebate, they were ~$48K-50K brand new, and 2 yr old used one was ~ $35K with 20-30K km, I just searched, and noticed people are asking $37-40K for the RS, with 70-90k km !?? I would think without warranty, the Ford RS value would drop...

Maybe when they stopped making it, that bolstered it's value. Not sure. Either way you couldn't pay me to own one of those off warranty haha. That car was grossly overpriced at $60K IMO, but like you say I don't think it actually sold for anywhere near that.

I unicycled beside one of these. Why are they so loud? Do they have speakers in their exhaust also? That would be stupid. Me? I prefer flames.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but the CTR is probably the quietest "hot hatch", to the point that reviewers complain about it. It's the reason they piped in engine noise for 2020+. If you found it at all loud he for sure had an aftermarket exhaust.

[C4S]

Am I the only one thinking CTR is “loud enough"?

Or I am too old for CTR��
（However, most drivers in CTR I have seen in CTR are mid cake Asian like me as well...��）

There's only so much you can do with a 4-cylinder engine to make it actually sound decent so quieter is probably better than loud but not great sounding. The styling of the CTR is the loud enough anyway.

I just came across an interesting sport compact comparison by Motor Trend:

https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hond...a-mini-cooper/

They are 'estimating' a 4.1 sec 0-60 on the 2020 model. Is that corrected for certain factors or something? Seems a bit too fast with no increase in HP.

For anyone interested this was the comparison result:

Our first-place finisher, the 2020 Honda Civic Type R, is the one full of emotion. The notes speak for themselves. "The gold standard," Lieberman said. Reynolds: "So much faster than anything else here." Evans: "This car is just fantastic. I don't know what more you can ask of it. I'm just dumbfounded." Yekikian: "No other car during this test made me feel so confident in my abilities and then backed them up so stoutly. Powerful, poised, profoundly entertaining, this is a driver's car in every sense of the phrase."

The Civic Type R proves that a front-drive performance car can be as engaging as its rear-drive counterparts—or even more so. Like all the best driver's cars, this Honda pushes and prods you to learn more about both its limits and your own. Must be why it's the highest-finishing front-driver in BDC history, an honorable fourth place in 2018—a sub-$40K car finishing right on the heels of a $340,000 Lamborghini, a $330,000 Porsche, and a $375,000 McLaren. And that was before all the updates made for 2020. So much for wrong-wheel drive.

With all other numbers...that must be a misprinted...

More like 5.1 second. (And that needs a good launch)

Yeah probably a misprint as the fastest I have seen from an actual test is 4.9.

New review by the Canadian boys here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCB7dro7yME.

Covers small updates to the 2020. Can't say I'm a huge fan of 'boost blue'.

This article agrees haha:

https://arstechnica.com/cars/2020/10...un-per-dollar/

I have seen BB live and I am not really a fan. I think it is just a 2020 color. I do like the steel grey color though, especially in the toned down Sportline version Europe gets.

Big day for CTR articles apparently.....

Here is one vs the 2.0L Supra:

https://www.motortrend.com/cars/hond...n-test-review/

Apparently the Supra overheated after 5 mins. CTR overheating issues seem to have been resolved for 2020, at least in this instance.

Interesting that they are standing by that 4.1sec 0-60 claim on the CTR, I thought that was a typo from previous articles but I guess not.

The third paragraph says 5.1 0-60 for the CTR
