Since the Canadian dollar is now at parity with the US dollar, this makes even less sense than before. You can get a very nice low mileage FD in the US for $21k - and you will not be sitting in the wrong side of the car.
This car probably cost $7k in Japan.

Nothing wrong with RHD. It's the opposite side of the car, big deal. It presents a few new driving challenges and removes a few as well. Parking becomes easier, left turns become harder, right turns become easier, etc.
Merging into traffic from a dead stop by a curb is my number one hate in a RHD car, closely followed by left hand turns at traffic lights - I tend to just avoid that alltogether if I can, I usually just find another way to turn left where I can see everything clearly in front of me.
Don't turn down a car just because it's RHD. People all over the world use a mix of LHD and RHD cars, it poses no real problems, you just have to be mindful of your driving (Which is a good thing, most people these days can't drive worth **** anyways, it's best if you have to work a bit harder at paying attention)

Rotary for life!
My FD is RHD drive and its great! I live in Australia, so everything RHD... i've driven cars in LHD and I have to say, I prefer RHD... I felt I have more control over the car and changing gears is easier with my left hand :P
