I'm not sure what all of the furore around the price is. It was common knowledge it was going to be priced between £45k and £50k--just because people didn't believe or agree with it didin't mean it wasn't going to be true! My CW FL5 order was confirmed with Honda UK on Wednesday--if your...

:oops: What are BMW up to? I thought the new M3/4 grille was bad enough, but if that really is the new M2..... Chris.

Personally, I though they were a bit crap when you could buy one new, I would defo not buy one now secondhand, but each to their own. I think I would always go M2 over an M3/4. If I had to have a Beemer it would probably be an M2 CS or maybe I would wait to see what the new M2 turns out like...

Like what? Chris.

I liked my FK2 a lot more than both of my FK8s, wish I still had it TBH Latest word on the street is the FL5 is going to be £46k-ish in the UK Chris.

From the conversation I had, I don't think it will be that much, but expect it to be over £45k. How much is a spec'ed up Golf R nowadays? Chris.

From a reasonably reliable source, it's going to be more than £40k and will be priced closer to £50k than £40k. My dealer has 4 x £1k deposits and expects to get 6 cars in total. Chris.

I am. Chris.

Absolutely terrible - even for a dedicated Honda fanboi like me.... :-( Chris.

The market has shifted, and to me at least, a new FK8 is easily worth £40k. Not sure second hand FK8s are worth the current asking prices, but I guess supply and demand rules are in play at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if the new 2022/23 CTR is over £40k, so that might also adversely...

I don't reckon second hand prices will go down too much anytime soon. I just sold my 6k mile 2 year old A45S that I paid the discount price of £55k when it was brand new, for £51k back to the main dealer. They sold it for £57k in about a week, which I think is still around list price. Make of...

Only 20 FK8 LEs for the UK not 40 That's what I've heard - UK Civics will be built in Japan. Chris.

It does, but sadly not in this country and there is only one supplier..... ;) Chris.

I had an early pre-facelift from new in 2017, did around 10k miles in it over 2.5 years, and had no issues whatsoever. I've got a 2021 facelift now, and have had no issues with that either. Chris.

The shiney black plastic near the badge below the shift boot is covered with plastic film when it is delivered to the dealer. If it has a scratch on it, it's almost certainly been done post PDI at the dealer's. Chris.
