I think in this price point the Civic is pretty impressive. I think if you plan to track it a few times a year 200k may take some extra maintenance, but it is a Honda.

For casual track use consumables aren't bad, but if you do try to run competitively as you add power (375whp+) it can start to eat through front tires fairly quickly, but that's obviously driver/track dependent.

On mine, I get around 3 TT track weekends on front pads, about 1.5-2 TT track weekends on front tires (RE-71RS), I should get TT 9-10 track weekends out of rear pads, and rear tires (I run a reverse stagger) last around 5 TT track weekends.

Overall, I've been very happy with mine. That said, I plan to move away from this platform for competition only because I want to be a bit more competitive and also I want to reduce running costs considering I want to run more events, but I'm moving to a *much* slower/cheaper car - I think in this price-point everything would be in-line or lower than other options.

That said, mine is also for sale, if you are interested:
