 RichieJK's recommendation | |
Appearance and amazing surge of power once 7,000 revs is reached.
Trying to pull out in the wet without wheel spinning and feeling every bump in the road.
I love my Civic Type-R more than any car previously owned! It looks incredible, is faster than most and has been my dream car for a long time. Once you reach 7000 revs, you, as the driver are forced back into your seat as your car propells forwards. The gear stick is positioned very closely to the steering wheel for quick, smooth gear changing and the racing seats keep you firmly in position.
One problem I do find is pulling out quickly from standing position without wheel-spinning when it's wet. It has so much torque that sometimes trying to escape the 'boy-racer' stereotype is difficult when you're unable to maintain grip! It can also be very easy to then wheel spin in second in the same conditions. In dry weather however, the car speaks for itself - especially around corners where the handling is totally awesome.
I would recommend this car to anyone who simply enjoys driving.
