Good Points

Awesome performance(in the dry) for £16000, Very roomy inside and the gearstick is positioned perfectly!


Bad Points

TERRIBLE in the wet, mesh style seats are a nightmare to wipe stains off of.


General Comments

I have owned my Honda Civic Type-R since new(04) The first time you experience the V-tec surge you become totally hooked. The interior is basic, but looks good and the racing seats are perfect for when you are throwing it around country lanes. My only problem with the car and it is so bad that I hate driving it in the wet is its handling(in the wet). It is virtually impossible to get any power down if it is even slightly wet and it understears at embarassingly slow speeds. I would not even expect to pull away from a 1.4. However, as soon as the sun comes out and the roads are dry this car is astonishing and will easily put a smile on your face no matter how long you have owned it!
