    I saw one for sticker price a while back with like 6 dudes camping out at the dealership. The car was sold the night before, and someone in a pick-up with an enclosed trailer took it home. From the showroom floor right into the trailer, not even a test drive. My guess is 5 years from now, that Type R with 4 miles on it, will definitely go for a 6 figure price. Most I've seen from a dealer was $82000. Fun Fact: 2023 Civic Type R was dyno tested at 327HP at the wheels. A good reason as to why Scotty was really thrilled while driving that Type R.

    I have a 2014 Ford Focus ST that I bought new. It has over 170,000 miles on it. The key to driving a turbo car without problems is as Scotty said CHANGE THE OIL REGULARLY. Don't cheap out on oil changes. These types of cars are very rough riding. Low profile wheels and rubber band tires. You get good handling but my family doesn't ride with me as our other car is marsh mellow smooth. His advice on road hazard insurance for the tires and wheels is also spot on. I buy tires from Discount Tire and I always buy the warranty. My four month old tire that I just bought got damaged and could not be repaired. It is being replaced free of charge. The downside is that tires for these cars are HARD to get. I am using my spare right now as a replacement tire is being shipped across the country. It is taking a week to get the new tire. Rare cars come with rare tires and parts. I once had my car in the shop for 2 weeks in December of 2014 waiting for brake pads (warranty work). Fortunately the aftermarket stepped up and now brake pads can be found - but they must be ordered and are never in stock. Big brake cars like these also chew up rotors. I buy the best quality I can get and they last 2 cycles with one turning before they go out of spec. I do my own pads. Scotty is also correct that when you have one of these type of cars you drive it HARD. Since Ford discontinued the Fiesta ST the Honda Civic Type R may be my next car. I'll wait till my ST gets to 200,000 miles before I switch and I better get on the waiting list now because it looks like a 2 year wait is in store. I hate automatics and love driving my 6 speed manual.

    I still think the 1.6L 4-cylinder Civic engine from the 90's was the best. WAsn't turbo-charged (although a lot of people I knew, put turbos on them), and was a very simple design (easy to repair -- not so easy to work on in some cases because the working space in the engine bay), but very reliable engine providing you changed the timing belt regularly, along with oil and coolant. Many of those 1.5/1.6L non-turbo engines from the 90's easily went 300k with minimal maintenance. Not sure I could say the same about modern engines with all the computer technology and extra sensors. About the only downside to the 1.5/1.6L was that they used a timing belt, and luckily Honda went to timing chains around 2007 at least on the Civics and many others (although some may still use a timing belt, but most companies have gone to chains since people realized that the advantages of a belt were not really much of an advantage and generally people would break them and destroy their engine -- chains on the other hand generally don't break and are very durable -- just keep the oil changed).

      Those engine were reliable but were about exciting as a brick. Torque was a word Honda had problems wrapping its mind around during that time, even the 99-2000 Si, while boasting flashy horsepower numbers, wasn't at all what I'd call a torque monster. The S2000 was an extremely good effort though.
