General Comments

Had the Honda Accord 2.2 Type-R about 4 months and can't believe how underated it is. I have wanted one for a few years but had never driven one so I was in for a suprise when I got to test drive one and saw what it did at 5800 rpm and also how well it corners. I absolutely love the car, it is so fast to drive yet can be driven economically if you want to. My local Honda dealership recommends 1. Running it on Shell Optimax 2. And I quote '' thrashing it frequently '' to stop carbon deposits building up in the inlet manifold. If this does happen on yours don't let them tell you that you need a new inlet manifold (v.expensive) as a London dealership told me, as they can soak to manifold to clear all the carbon (cost me 80 quid).

Wicked, wicked car, looks subtle but blows away almost anything bar evos, some Imprezzas, er and Ferraris etc.

Buy one.
