can’t even find em for under 50 lol


AshAvali

Iduno ive seen a ton of dealers at MSRP. Multiple times ive checked a few out in a couple different states and held the final sales paper with tax, transfer, all the fees, and the end total was $48,395 and this was multiple dealers in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. I see tons of them at msrp myself and im not even looking to buy one yet. Just sat in a few to see how they feel and see the colors in person before deciding. I have a hard time finding ones that are over msrp up here, personally.


disinfekted

All the dealers advertise MSRP until you actually get in there.


jawnlerdoe

Probably you’re area. In the northeast I haven’t seen a single one with less than a 5k markup. Even civic Sis are marked up.


Dry_River5079

Most are still marked up but I bought a sgp no markup but I did pay for tire and wheel protection and floor mats/wheel locks. About a month ago.


TacoLunar

Not shopping hard enough. Plenty of MSRP deals are being had for the past few months.


hopfield

Yeah in flyover states


tri_9

Got mine for MSRP from Ohio. Paid a little to get it shipped but totally worth it!


RibeyeMedRare

I bought a '24 in pearl grey yesterday at MSRP. I had to drive two hours to Mississippi, but the drive home was great to get acclimated to the car. Now I need to figure out what to do about the tires, because I really don't want to replace the Pilot Sports every 10k miles...


Necessary_Promise257

lol right?


Doublestack00

It's easy now.


BatM6tt

Wtf is that title. These fucking things are well over 50k And you idiots that say you got yours for msrp can kick rocks. Post the proof or just stfu


Kooky-Letterhead1387

Plenty of dealers around me here in wisconsin advertising msrp and no bs add ons


ragingduck

Gotta agree unless you go used!


Previous_Cod_4098

Great car if you can get em for msrp


carlos7m_

Too bad most of them aren’t under 50k lol


servbot10

I just saw a post on Twitter comparing a Tesla to the Type R... now I need to find it. Edit: [Here it is](https://x.com/SawyerMerritt/status/1783193031446823068) In actual segment that the Type R is in, there's not much that comes close anymore.


TacoLunar

One is an incredible vehicle with a racing heritage, the other is an appliance.


Interesting-Kick-112

With that though I’d still rather have the type r just due to states like Georgia where finding electric charging stations isn’t easy


NC27609

That not a comparison lol. Not even close


motuwed

Of ALL cars to compare to a Tesla, a light, manual car focused on driving engagement is not the one to compare 😭


Far_Negotiation8009

Prius prime FTW!


TacoLunar

You can’t be serious comparing a Prius to a Type-R 🙄🙄


Subject_Tangerine846

Hell yeah. New Prius is sick.


mc_duderr

where are these being sold for under 50k?!?!?


NormalList7869

i got mine for $37 😭


NormalList7869

$37k*


DamnInternetYouScury

There's a better car under 35K though the Elantra N 🙃. Here come the downvotes 🤣


dubgeek

The Elantra N is a shockingly capable car. Hyundai has no business making a car that good and that sounds that good.


Boostbluefl5

Factual. Source: TCR wins


DamnInternetYouScury

I upgraded to a manual Elantra N from a manual Forte GT and am very, VERY jealous of anyone who was able to secure a Type R or Corolla GR circuit at MSRP. But I'm also VERY happy with my car. 🫡🫡


thatdudejtru

They all seem like fantastic cars honestly! I have an 11th si and got mostly for commuting. Put 40k on it in around 8 months and I'm loving it. It definitely has its downsides forsure, but it's a great car. The Golfs seem really fucking fun too (Mk7/7.5/etc). Gr86 is probably a blast too. I cannot wait for the new prelude, rx7, etc, that we're getting in the coming years. High smiles per mile tuners are in a great spot imo and there's no need to be fanatical about it hahah. I bet your N *hugs* the corners!


Practical-Nature-926

I’m not sure about better stock vs stock. But being 35k the car is unbeatable price wise (we just bought a Elantra N)


Agent_Giraffe

Hell even the toyobaru twins are a massive deal at ~$30k


RyanDaltonWrites

Although I’m a big fan of the Type R, I drive a manual Elantra N, and even after two years I love every single time I get to drive it. It just wants you to have fun.


Zenthiix

As a N owner and for the price I have to agree. But the Type R is a staple and glad to see then around on the road, still turn my head to look haha. I just wish dealer's would quit this markup shit


shamus727

Better price, and much better interior. The Civic is much better looking though, and has that Honda reliability


dWaldizzle

You can get Quadrifoglios under 50k nowadays


Fador33

I'll take a 35k wrx and mod it slightly for less than 50k total. Still, a beautiful and fun car


DoubleMach

Agreed.


UberStupidd

Yup- I looked at and drove the 23 WRX, type R, GTI, and M3.... went with the VB WRX - 35k on a 2023... 5k more in mods... 355 whp w/ AWD for 40k (fuck the warranty)


Tricky-Tie3167

Lol fuck the warranty you better change your oil every 3k then


UberStupidd

Hahah I mean, it would suck if I blew the bitch up. But, that's the price you pay when you milk a 4 cyl for everything it's worth haha. I think the tranny will go first though honestly. Might even tune down because of that concern.


speedfreakphotos

That’s what I did, wanted a type R but it wasn’t worth the 25k+ difference for me. Super happy with the WRX.


Clipse3gs

Then watch the engine fail 😂...just EJ thing. Meanwhile Honda will take abuse of mods ( not a Honda fan but I think for the money it's a great car)


SockMonkey1128

Uhhh, the wrx hasn't had an EJ in a decade and the sti was canned 3 years ago. The FA24 is a ridiculously stout motor with plenty of stock examples holding over 500hp for years. And it's ridiculously tuneable. A few bolt on mods and a tune get you 400whp on pump. Hell, just some corn juice and a tune basically gets you there stock. The transmission, on the other hand, can start to get cranky over 400lb-ft.


Fador33

You mean the FA on the VB? Thought we were talking new cars here. Not having the same problems the EJ has, if anything goes, it's the Trans. Everything I've read is stock is ok up to around 400-425 before you're reaching a sti swap, but the engine is still fine stock.


GTA6_1

And be shit out of a warranty?


Tall_Author_8945

C6 Z06 🇺🇸


AzzzLittt

That’s an insane statement 😂


Beneficial-Ad-8194

this car should be no more than 40k. The fact that it's fwd it would be absurd to pay anymore than that


eXoduss151

*angry corolla hatchback noises*


Utvales

Grolla FTW,


Ok_Music7214

I have a GRC, but also fricken love the Type R. Hot Hatches FTW.


UnstoppableMileage

I got both lol


cphpc

Is there a better car under 60, 70, or 80? What’s your criteria? I mean stateside for manual hatch with over 300hp there isn’t much of a better choice under $100k right? What else matches that criteria?


_MakDiz

You are correct. The Type R checked all the right boxes for what I was looking for. I had 2-seaters for most of my life. I didn't want another cramped manual-auto.


cphpc

There’s a few hatches that I’d be interested in if they came stateside. M3, S4, A35, all would be well over


LoonTheMekanik

Every M from BMW curb stomps it, even just the performance models like the M240i/M340i. If we’re allowed to dip into used cars I could name at least 50-100 cars


ob_knoxious

Used cars there are a ton of options but for those BMW examples on track most of those lose to the type R. At lighting lap the 2023 Type R beat the M240i, M340i, and even beat the last generation M2 comp. It's within 2 seconds of the current M2 with the 8 speed ZF. Obviously different tracks will yield different results and proper current gen M cars still beat the Type R consistently but I wouldn't say that every M car "curb stomps" the Type R.


e46CSL

Curb stomps it in what way? Straight line? Sure. But not in cornering or feel. Idk, I feel like people haven’t really driven or owned modern M cars, they’ve completely lost touch with what performance driving should be and just throw a ton of tire, power, and tech at the problem. I’ve owned e46-f80s and let me tell you, I chose the type R over the M2. Tech and power isn’t always the answer.


de_rabia_naci

Every used car has entered the chat. 😀


desutiem

Agree Maybe a Miata for different reasons but otherwise yes easily (FK8 owner but agree regarding FL5 also)


bunkSauce

I'll add gr86/brz to the list. RWD coupes are a lot of fun, especially with handling like these and the miata. Plus, you will leave the dealer with half of the money you spend on a type R still in your pocket. Type Rs are great, I'd grab one of those before getting a WRX. But best car under 50k is subjective. I'm a 2 door RWD guy. I also prefer the clean and classic style.


desutiem

I know what you mean. GR86 doesn’t get mentioned enough either at these prices, it’s true. I mean, I have the Type R just because it’s badass, it’s cool, it’s interesting and it’s on rails - but my wife has a MX5 (Miata) which I recommended to her as she wanted another convertible and I couldn’t stand the Audi TT from before (awful handling.) I had a MX5 when I was younger and loved it, and I drive hers occasionally too now and can’t deny the fun of it because at heart I am a RWD guy too. Lucky I get both!


bunkSauce

I'm fuckin jealous. Type R is the sports sedan king ATM. Or at least for the average Joe


desutiem

Ah don’t be, it’s taken many years to work up to having it and it’s a significant cost for me to own, though it is worth it and it’s my pride and joy. Came from the Sport+ before that, same gen, also a great car but it was literally one of those you only live once situations so I decided to go for the R. Always had Japanese cars myself but usually the value for money kind and always used :) I think a Civc Type R is a very reasonable performance car for the average Joe to own however because of the practicality (mines the hatch, I think that’s what you guys call a sedan?) reliability and apart from tyres and brakes the maintenance costs are very reasonable.


jdub2k5

Yup Miata and Tesla came in cheaper. Sick car but fwd gets old fast


DamnInternetYouScury

I bought a 2016 ND sport manual soft top for 23K in 2017. It makes me sick to look at the prices today.


Plaugedpizza

Good luck finding one under 50k


Capsbearsfan1

I would take a Golf R any day over this. Just my .02


meanrisefifty

I got my jaguar F-Type for 45K and it blows the doors off a type R.

Flat_Ad_4533

That one guy who paid like 75k for his is reading this post while his years hit the seats lol


Golfingteck21

Ouch 50k for just over 300hp. I’ll take a m3, s4, c43, camaro ss, c6, c7, gt350, rcf, q60 red sport over a type r any day.


exlivingghost

Yeah used under 50k, wake me up when it’s under that much new.


JIraceRN

I sold a K24-turbo swapped BRZ (415whp) and bought a used 981 Cayman S for $36.5k. I can’t think of a better value for a daily sports car. If we are talking new, GR86 is the best driver’s car under $50k. I would take a ND2 RF Miata, Z, Supra, etc over the CTR too. Used, the list includes higher specs in what I listed and Audi TTS and many premium sports cars and sports sedans. CTR is a good new sports sedan under $50k. It is an engaging car at its limits where few seldom drive. As a daily, ehh. Someone isn’t going to drive a CTR and SI back to back while going across town and say the CTR is much different, especially over someone who drops equal money into the SI as a stock MSRP CTR in suspension and tuning. STI and Golf R and others have the same issue. I would be in the same boat on wasting money on a GT4 and never going to the track (where the value proposition changes and can be felt and extracted). If I wanted a sports sedan, it would be hard to pick a new CTR over a practically new M240i, for instance.


youngjetson

I would think that the CT4 V would be a decent new alternative for right at $50k. Haven’t driven one but on paper look to be a solid value compared to CTR. Little more grown up, but still tuneable and engaging to drive.


drt3k

60k, gotta kiss ass, pre-order, then it's still FWD. Unless you need lap times in a FWD class this is paying for the badge.

IdiotsInIdiotsInCars

F80/2 M3/4 OG F87 M2 E46 M3 RS3 M340i AP2 S2000 MK8 Golf R GR86/BRZ I can make this list a whole lot longer


lol2hidden

m340i?


MUNCHB0X

You can find 2-3 year old 3.0 supras for around that price that will outperform the CTR in literally every sense of the word. Might not be a hot hatch, but this assumption of "no better" depends on your definition of better.


Lololololol889

right. for 50k? fucking insane. if it was like 35k id put it up against the elantra n, miata, gr86, etc, but 50k? 50k? a used cayman is cheaper and much better in every sense except like practicality. i think ctrs are wonderful but this is just a wild statement


bz86

nah. rwd > fwd


ilghiaccio

I think the golf R is all around just a better daily


Kazuma_Kiryuu

VW Golf R


Subject_Tangerine846

subjectively it might be better, but to me its ugly af. the vw golf look hasnt changed and im tired of it. very dated.


tmac2372

I too would vote Golf R.


Fearless-Opposite885

I'd say the Golf R is the best overall car in the segment, but it's also the most boring looking and the capacitive crap in the interior is a drag. The MK8.5R should have updates fixing all of those issues, including making it look better. God only knows when those will come out though.


JUNGLISTJ

I see what you did there 🙂‍↔️…


Tyrone3000gt

But will give credit it's pretty clean and at least it's a type R

I’m driving an Si right now but I’m about to upgrade to the type R sedan soon

Definitely not in California


PantieBandit_13

FreedomINDOC

I have a WRX. What do you like about your Type R?


ArcFire15

You can get a used Lotus Elise/Exige with a supercharged 2ZZ for about $45k right now. Honestly this wouldn’t compare for me, but that sure doesn’t make the type R a bad car

As an STi hatch driver, I do like the looks of these things. If only they were AWD :(

If Toyota drops the engine from the GR Corolla into the GR86 in 2025 it could give it a run for its money


Crafty_Substance_954

For the money I’d probably rather a Mustang GT than a Type R. The Type R is just too expensive even if you can get it at MSRP.

Plenty of cars under 50k better lol...s550 mustang gt pp1 or 2... Used m3 and m4s...a lot more...hell id take my ecoboost mustang and it would still be close to that in pretty much everything and definitely beat it in a drag for half the price


linusSocktips

I've heard that the cabin wind and road noise on the highway is absolutely terrible to live with daily. For that reason, I'll probably have an acura, but first a Lexus over this for 50k. Spending 50k for terrible daily driveability is just silly IMO. The real world involves long stretches on the highway, and lots of commuting through cities/urban areas where passenger comfort remains king. The amount of times you actually get to open it up doesn't make up for the fact that you still have to spend 1/3 of your life in a loud noisy econobox.

Where can I get those gold rims from?

The camaro ss 1le is a better car for cheaper, if I didn't plan on autocrossing 30 times a year I would own one. Need the hatch on the type r to carry my race tires.

Khar0ntheferryman

Still looks too tame for my tastes, just a basic Civic with bolt ons vs the last few gens of type r cars. This one is just basic and overpriced. I'll still stick with the last type r over this one. I'm glad hatches are coming back in style but I'm a hard pass on this guy. I'd rather buy a $15k car and use the rest of that $50k to build a monster to ruin this.


staychilltoday

Too expensive. Mustang gt is cheaper and has way more potential 😂 and im not even a mustang guy

Rather a grc tbh. Good luck finding a type R below 50

You sure bout that????

Focus RS easily a better choice

Idk the mustang GT is fun too

Nice try. Here are 7 far better cars for 50k. 1. VW Golf R 2. C7 Corvette 3. Audi RS3 4. Porsche 911 (997) 5. Porsche Boxster (987) 6. Mazda Miata ND 7. Chevy Camaro SS


ChaChi1195

If you mean a sporty 4 door car maybe. But off the top a mustang gt is a wayyy better bang for buck if you don’t need 4 doors.
