Fast
Reliable
Plenty of space
Looks ok
Not many about
Apart from a few badges and the spoiler at the back it looks pretty bland and I'm yet to sit in another type R and test the blowers they don't seem to be very strong it might just be my car though I might have a family of speed loving mice living in my air ducts.
I never thought of this car until I looked at one at work I have a family so the likes of 2 door sports car sitting on the drive would be a no no and would probably make the Mrs retire to bed early every night in protest but when I seen the type R I thought there is no way she can moan about this 4 doors plenty of space enough room to get a weeks shopping in the boot and then some the only thing that was left to do is test the power and acceleration it was impressive, but nothing prepared me for 6 k boost and when that kicked in I was sold apart from the blowers the only other thing that went wrong was the air conditioning, you needed a small loan to get a new compressor from the Honda dealer but lucky for me it was just the coil that had gone which you can't buy separately but I got one. I had a Rover Tomcat before this car, I loved the look of the Tomcat and it was pretty nippy but when you opened the bonnet it looked like I had thrown a bucket of oil over it and I was putting as much oil in as petrol look under the type R bonnet and there is no oil to be seen the most impressive thing about the Honda accord type R is that it will take you round town as good as a Mondeo tdci but when the 18 year old down the road pulls up next to you in his Saxo vtr he soon realises why they don't insure any body under 30 on a type r unless your dad is Bill Gates, I have put 8 stars for practicality only because of the fuel bill if you hit 6k all the time which you really feel like doing.
