Hi,

I'm seriously considering one of these as a daily as I really miss driving a decent NA engined car and these appeal as they are in my eyes a bit of an under the radar car. I've had a CL9 Type S over 10 years ago and an Accord Type R too and thought that hopefully this would share a similar spirit.

Does anyone have one or know much about them please? What are they like for getting everyday wear and tear parts etc? I appreciate that this is a niche car but any contributions would be most welcome.

Like them myself and imagine bodywork is the same as U.K. spec ones and the drivetrain is similar to an EP3/DC5.

Someone on here has a nice one and said that driveshafts go and are ££££. Brake callipers are also quite weak apparently

We've been running one as a daily for over 12 years and it is nothing short of amazing. There is well over 300k on it and apart from normal wear and tear and faded paint(red) it has been the best car in our household to date.
Never had any trouble getting parts either
