dun own a FD2R, but i can give u a perspective of owning one as
a previous DC5R owner and someone who almost bought the FD2R.
IMO, despite its 4 door guise, not everyone can live with it on a
everyday basis. but it can certainly live up to ur expectations
when u really push its limits. power band is linear, which equates
to corresponding throttle response depending on how much gas u put
in. as for FC, i've always wondered why pple would wanna complain
about FC on a performance car. IMO, these ppl are idiots. the K20A
is the most fuel efficient engine i've driven so far. drive it like
you would on a sane day, it'll give u the FC comparable to a 1.6l.
i tuned up my ride, WOT it occasionally, and it can still give me
9-10km/l consistently (my current ride giving me 8-9l/km and its
not half as done up as the DC5R). the best part is the chassis.
i've already found the feedback and grip on the DC5R rather
phenomenal, and the FD2R is supposed to take this experience up
another notch through even higher chassis rigidity.
that said, one who has never owned a performance car would find the
FD2R a bit too harsh on ride quality due to the uprated damping
rates. the car's strength is also its weakness as it sacrifices
noise insulation and ride comfort for weight reduction and
excellent lateral grip.
my conclusion? its probably the most accomplished NA front wheel
drive sedan u can possibly buy for a tad over 100k. on weekdays,
swallows 5 adults comfortably with space in the boot for that golf
bag. take it out on track on the weekends, it'll still give most
turbo charge 4wd cars a run for their money. that said, if comfort
is ur consideration, then u'd be much better off in the average
civic or camry. just be prepared for ur better half/ in law's
questions when they ask you why ur car so expensive but so
uncomfortable
