There will be truth in Honda making it a good handling car, and by the reviews it is. But the FD2 was the Jap Type-R based on the DC5 platform. They didn't take to the Euro FN2 so well, be surprising if they did use it as a test bet of 'ahh ohh we must beat dis'

Pretty interesting info there mate. I would imagine a well set up CRZ with R888's or AD08's would be pretty fantastic.

When i drove CRZ it felt crap compared to my DC2.
After i took it for a spin from dealer. It was ding 25mpg. Well thats only bit better than what i get out of DC2.
-Ad-Your lucky then. Only 80k miles oO. My integra got few thousand miles of track abuse done in japan before it came to uk. So no wounder it takes oil. And im not going soft on it either.
Drive -> Brake -> Repair repeat.
I wont sell it. There is nothing I ever driven that is so cheap to run insure tax and gives so much fun. Anything better is 2x more expensive. ITR 4 LIFE

Same but with my EP3.
I'd say so aye, is there a particular advert you're looking at?

surprised you managed such bad economy lord_zed. I couldn't get the computer to read any less than 34MPG. However I always take such reading with a pinch of salt and the fact that a half hour test drive will be spent gunning it and not "normal" driving.
I seriously was impressed with it, considering I have had such powerful cars before I was ready for disappointment!

Imagine how a proper Honda feels
Never driven an NSX but have driven an EP3 and FN2 type R and a JDM S2000.
S2000 was disappointing but I guess cos they are hyped up quite a lot and maybe I was expecting too much.

Never let opinion and assumptions sway your perception.

I seem to find myself being impressed by cars that internet opinions tell me are rubbish and disappointed by ones which tell me they are road going race cars lol.
example number 1: RX8 - fantastic car just poo fuel consumption
example number 2: CR-Z - epic fun, nice chassis
No one on here has said anything bad about the CR-Z to my knowledge just speaking about the general vibe I get visiting other forums etc.

Not good. Has it supped any?
Give me a shout when you're thinking of selling, I may well be interested.
Although I don't really have any particular reason or intention to change cars right now (just done another years T&T), I've pretty much decided an ATR is what I want next.
Looks like you're very local to me too! Could I be cheeky and ask for a px ride some weekend before you decide to sell?
Like an ugly Piggy JDM rear
Hmmm.... Are all the dark droplets oily, have you scooped some up with your finger, rubbed between fingers or even smelt/licked them? Seriously
Oil light coming on is the worrying sign as that's oil pressure not oil level. Never EVER had my oil light come on and I've had some hard driving sessions in mine (private road/track of course).

NathWraith ye. If you got brick in your foot like i do MPG is ****** on CR-Z I was not impressed with it at all. But that cos i always wanted to have CRX and once i got enough money to buy one. All of them ware so rusted that i went for EG6. CRZ is to slow for me. Even my first 1.5 1986 civic SI was faster. Why or Why they made it ****** hybrid
RX8 on other hand. Very nice car. Chep to buy expensive to run My mate gets 23-24 mpg on motorway out of hes and hes not doing 100mph+. But I would have one. Hes got Pro Drive one with body kit and all.
