UK peeps, anyone got a new type R yet??
not got one, but i did go for a test drive in one on the saturday after the launch parties
very very smooth and very refined - and most definitely instills confidence in your driving - handling is pretty much spot on but coming from a slammed bumpy old crx a ford fiesta would feel nice tbh.
However, the rear end is twitchy - this i liked very much - one bit i didnt like was the fact the changeover is almost inaudible
Oh and the launch control is set absolutely perfectly - that got abused no end when we went for a spin - having said that so did the handbrake on the roundabouts

hahaha, who was in the car with you?
Iv heard this quite alot, there moving away from the whole raw thing the type R brought us in the first place
, apparently there is a type RR coming, maybe this will be the more agressive model?

Damn guys i envy the cars the UK gets from Japan , I went to London twice last year and saw a **** load of R's , Skylines, Silvias and other JDM **** . i even saw some rich *** driving a Ferarri Enzo . But that was central London around High Street Kensington and High St .
