We all know the stereotype: a bearded, overweight Star Wars fan living in his mother’s basement, surrounded by rack after rack of official SW memorabilia and spending many a hot, sweaty night tapping out bizarre Chewie-on-C3PO fan fiction.

While its torsion beam rear suspension may lack the outright handling potential of the multi-link rear found in the Japanese Market FD2 Civic Type R, there’s no denying that the European (and Australian) spec FN2 CTR is one beautiful beast.
