The last time I saw another Type R was about 6 months ago at a local Cars and Coffee.

2-3 per month. Surprising considering how many have been sold over the years.

I rarely see another R except for when meeting with a local Honda car group. When I pump gas, four times out of five someone stops by and compliments the car and mentions they've never seen one. When I do see another R in the wild, I always honk/wave

I've only seen four since January 2019... Saw a red one twice and a white one from Missouri. Did see a "wanna be" the other day.
Same here with the wanna be R's... a black Civic Sport customized with all the trimmings :) Fooled me from a distance though...

I've only seen like two others in my 5 months of ownership. No other boost blues yet.

There is a white Fype R parked in the driveway of a house I pass on my way to work. Looks a little weird without the wide fenders.

Haven't seen a boost blue (except at the dealership) on the road to date... Seen Red, Blue, Black, Grey & White... mine is the metallic grey... never saw another metallic grey on the road around here besides mine.

Haven't seen any boost blue's on the road either besides the one I was checking out at the dealership. Have seen a couple white ones here and there but not lately. Only ones I see are sports with ctr wing which sometime fool me.

Type R is very common in Toronto. TypeR is more common than the FK7 here. Always bump into a random one every time on the street. Just saw a young teen girl driving a BB when I went pick up my lunch. Surprisingly there are still have kids able to drive stick.

I live near St. Louis and I have only seen a CTR a handful of times.

I saw two type Rs when I was in Tucson two months ago in the same day. I see a lot more STIs than Type Rs in my area. Mustangs and Camaros are a dime a dozen.

I think it's more surprising that there are "kids" driving around a $40k car. I couldn't afford the CTR until I was years into my career

It’s been months since I’ve seen one. In the 10 months I’ve had the car I think I’ve only seen 3-4. Very rare around here.

This is fairly common in a city like Toronto. It's the same thing on the west coast in Vancouver - a CTR would be a fairly modest choice in that demographic.
