I have a 52 satin silver one, great car.
Looking for a black one for my sister with no luck, soooo many nails out there
Westy, 2nd gear can be an issue on some, as can streering racks, reverse gear and rear tyre wear on the inside, due to the rear cambers not being adjustable, so you would have to fit aftermarket kits so that it can be.Steering can be heavy on parking, think this is due to it being electric so give it a blip on the throttle when parking and turning.
Some don't seem to wear as bad as others so just keep an eye on it
www.civictype-r.co.uk is worth a visit for some info
what you pay for yours, looks nice.
