Honda Civic Type R Test Drive

[theHKway]

Hi,

as you may or may not know, i just joined club ITR and already enjoying my stay, (hated OzHonda)

from my understanding, we are all R fans, and having the new Civic R out, i assume we are keen to see touch free, love and hate the new Civic R

i work at Robert Lane Honda in Brighton and i am happy to take down a Civic R for a meet, show and shine test drive for the Club ITR crew.

i'm am not selling, i will be simply taking a Civic R on my day off for a chance to meet every1 and play with the new toys.

please post your feed back and this is pending approval from the Boss

if you already own a Civic R, i love you

if your in the area, pop down to my showroom and intro yourself for a chat!
camera will be on hand

IRS and the coupe version and I would've been an advocate. Sadly the hatch doesn't look right and torsion beam =

[theHKway]

i think its a love it or hate it cars
and mugen is still get to make a Mugen spec Civic R

i drive it every day and it jsut revs out,
handles very well and not too still.. great overall car
still think the DC5 was better

Mugen have made a version of the *real* Civic R (Mugen RR) and they won't be doing anything for the UK-built FN2R.

I'd take torsion beam rear over problematic front suspension anyday!
it's a FWD after all.
almost a year now, and still loving it!

all the electronics is making it a headache to modify though
hmmm how do I dump all these air bags?

[PolitoHood]

i drove one, dont like it and it was slower then my Type S,
Its should have been called a Type G for Gimics the hole car is sold under The Red H theme and it doesn't come close to being a performer which is what its all about.

Jeremy Clarkson even thinks its a step back for honda

JC is just some fat english bloke that whinges alot. Hardly a credible source when it comes to cars. He makes cars look alot worse than they are too. He deliberately drove the FN2 aggresively to point out understeer. The car doesn't really handle like that review. Having said that I'd still take the EP3 any day of the week.

Moot point since all our cars have modified suspension anyway.

rumour has it that the FN2 will be sold in Japan... so this may change (i bloody hope so!)
