Default New Civic Type R pictures !!!

Hi Guys, check this out............











I had the car for two days.

My impressions (+ specs)are:
- The car looks good in red
- There is no LSD in the Euro version (it would be handy)
- The steering is direct but too light, so there is not enough feedback
- Seats are not Recaros and are too high
- Massive torque from 2000 rpm till 8000 rpm
- 0 to 100 km/h in 6.8 secs (measured with G-tech pro)
- Top speed 235 km/h (147 mph)
- Not a real Type R.......... (so, I am a bit disappointed)

I like the rims a lot but the rest looks like a focus.

I wanted those rims for my ITR, but the offset doesn't match, the dealer said.....

Very nice, but in my opinion it doesn't look sporty enough...at least the front end. Besides, I heard it's heavier than the Integra/RSX...so what's the point of a hatchback?

It looks like a small van. The interior and the wheels looks great.

never seen a red one before

The new CTR looks sweet, those pics of the front are kinda misleading, the car looks better in person

I've driven today, Honda claim's 0-60 in 6.7, the acceleration feel smooth, but actually i feel the car slower than EK Sir.
Is about 16K pounds in UK, i really want to buy one but after a test drive "NO"!

Simply ugly. I mentioned before, a white one upright would make a good looking refrigerator.
