Well get ready to have lots of folks checking it out and taking pictures and such. It's a spunky devil but what impresses me most is how it handles! Lookout for the 4th gear lockouts and 2nd gear grinds that some people are having. Check to see if your steering wheel is not deviated to the left or right while driving. What number is yours?

Said goodbye to my 2017 Honda CSi, and hello to my 2018 CTr. Haven't been this excited about a car since my 2011 CSi. Not looking to do much to this one, but I do have some winter wheels on the way. TN winters aren't the best. Definitely going to be my daily driver. This a long with a clear bra since most of my drive will be HW.

Yesss this is the exact trade up that I'm looking to make. '17 SI Coupe to CBP CTR. I've read that it's hard to keep it shiny and nice. Are you planning on getting a ceramic coating?

It's not hard, it's impossible.


The paint will swirl literally if you touch it with ANYTHING. And I have mine ceramic coated with the hardest coating you can get.


I take EXTREME care in washing, foam cannon, only touch the paint with the highest end microfibers and such......and it still swirls. I've given up since it's technically just a track car for me, but I've been getting the whole car PPF'd so I don't have to worry about it.

So far I have about 60% of the car covered.
