Both are special in their own ways. I’d love to own both at some point personally but since the CTR is cheaper I’d go with that.

I too was on the fence about getting a CTR, and in the end it lost. Just not a reasonable daily driver for me. The 16K KM lifespan tires and odd ball bolt pattern already spelled unreasonable upkeep costs (I know money isn't a concern for you), I also far prefer a 2 door coupe for anything remotely sporty.

16k tires
It’s a civic not a Bugatti

16k as in 16,000 km lifespan?
New tires cost money but how does 5x120 bolt pattern cause unreasonable upkeep costs?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Most owners are selling the OEM wheel and tires for more then a decent new set of aftermarket wheels and tires cost.... so technically that would save you money in the long run.
Yah I'm sure he means 16000km lifespan.
I've heard shorter lifespan. Less then 10000 km
Also people are breaking the rims/tires on every pot hole hahha. The rubber is too thin.
My current winter rims/rubber won't fit.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And yes, 4doorj nailed it (edited my post accordingly).

I think the obvious choice here is the M3/4!
Oh lol, I knew that sounded ridiculous but I wasn’t sure if that was some kind of game they were playing for better ring times.
Nothing stopping you putting normal tires on the thing. M2 will eat rear tires as well though Michelin’s hold up pretty wel to rwd abuse.
I still have no idea why anyone would buy the ctr, it’s pretty much as unappealing to me as a Kia stinger. I just can’t wrap my head around it.

Is there an option for buying both? lol
In all honesty though, they are both amazing even driving them back to back. The M2 is definitely better built and sounds better, but they are equally fun. imo the CTR is easier to drive fast and the M2 is more lively and on the edge.

After one and a half track day and 2000km the oem tires were done on mine. as for the odd ball bolt pattern, they are just BMW bolt patterns, nothing crazy about them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I’d probably get the M2, but the Honda always holds a spot in my heart.

The Honda ricer hater has spoken.... CTR = M2 hahahhaha. Who would have ever guessed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
hahah i never said that. I wouldnt compare them directly.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'd pick the M2 because the interior is nicer and it sounds sooooo much better. But i'm not sure it's 30k nicer. if that makes any sense.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not much of choice for me but they are not normally cars you would cross shop. M2 is a few classes up from the fanboy civic
Its time to move on lol The civic is nice but if youre at all doubting boy racer mode im sure you'd get sick of it sooner than later, its pretty much full body kit with big spoiler lolThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The M2 will be a much more enjoyable car year-round and suits your age.
I just cannot imagine someone in their 30s or 40s cruising around in a CTR.
I use to think 30s/40s was old but now that I'm closer to 40 than 30, it's not old at all. I would totally bomb around in a CTR or M2 if I could afford one.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Try driving one, it'll blow your mind how fun it is. But again I think the Fiesta ST is fun so what do I know
