General Comments

I have just recently bought my Honda Civic 2.0 Type R and all I can say is I didn't waste my money. It looks great, sounds great and with near to 200 bhp can pull you 0-60 in a mere 6.6 seconds (approx). For a hot hatch it is extremely comfortable on long journeys for both driver and passangers. Will be enjoying the experience of the Typr-R for a few years to come.

    I agree, but listening to the motor rev past 5500 rpm and sounding a bit like a F1 car, so what if it slips about a bit when it's raining, it's called having fun, I drive my type R as fast as it will go in all weather and I find it quite predictable. I have however changed from Brigestones to Avon zz1 tyres which really help in the wet. Still with 9 points on my license will have to be a bit more vigilant
