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

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 .
