Any make / model 'JDM' can be considered expensive compared to UK equivalent cars however the JDM tend to be more sought after due to being in better condition (especially under body for rust) as well as being better spec.

I will say though these last 12 MOnths cars in Japan have rocketed up in price so if you are looking to buy get in quick as they are becoming more and more expensive.

You would get one a bit cheaper if you imported your own,not a lot cheaper mind,especially as has been said,prices on the up.

There is a very nice looking one on here for sale,white bug,looks stunning.
