CAR OVERVIEW
Honda Civic Type R FD2 2009
Overview
The FD2 is one of those cars that quietly built a cult following and never let it go. A proper, high-revving, naturally aspirated Type R saloon that delivers a completely different experience to the modern turbocharged era.
Finished in Championship White with grey alloys and the iconic red and black interior, this is a car that still feels raw, analogue and connected in a way newer cars simply cannot replicate.

Interior grade B shows wear consistent with age, particularly on high-contact areas.
Defects and Notes
- U1 mark on driver’s door
- U2 and U3 marks on roof
- A1 mark on rear bumper
- General small scratches and light dents noted
- Interior wear including seat and handle wear
- Light clouding noted on headlights
All defects are consistent with age and mileage. Nothing unusual for an FD2 of this era, and most cosmetic items could be improved with detailing or light refurbishment.
Driving Experience
This is where the FD2 earns its reputation.
No turbo, no filters, just a screaming VTEC engine that comes alive at the top end. The steering is sharp, the chassis is playful, and the whole car feels lightweight and focused.
Compared to the FL5, this is more raw, more mechanical, and arguably more engaging for drivers who want that classic Type R feel.
Summary
An increasingly desirable modern classic that offers something genuinely different to today’s hot hatches.
For buyers looking to get into a proper JDM Type R with character, sound and purity, the FD2 remains one of the best-value entries into that world.
