[nelsonian101]

HOw exactly is the current Civic Type R like the civics that have been sold here before?

Lightweight and FWD.

[clutch-monkey]

Haha i was about to say that

Unless youre an asian uni student, who thinks of Civics as a viable buying option?

The RS has fucking drift mode

Lightweight and FWD.

1378kg is lightweight?

Peugeot 308 GTI = 1205kg - that's lightweight

Did previous Civics have a turbo or a torsion beam rear axle?

So I can't see the how the new civic type R is in anyway like the old ones.

Clutch monkey the Focus is all about the 4wd and motor it aint no beauty queen, infact it isnt a patch on the ST or the last RS, more like a long bit of Jailhouse bar of soap with a gaping wound up front.

Comapring the Pug GTI to the Type R lol WTF ur trippin dude, would be 100kg of interior that could be stripped if track work was the go the R looks OK, certainly has stance and the I mean business look.

The type r is an overweight, fwd hatful of arseholes whose great claim to fame is it shares a badge but pretty much nothing else with some handy cars from 20 years ago. Honda have so much faith in it it's being sold in about 3 market because no-one much gives a shit about it and no amount of fanboy trolling a thread on a car enthusiasts are excited about will change that.

That Honda doesnt give a fuk about perf cars and still shovels something out that whips the est is pretty funny...

Its king of the fwd for the time being and it dominates some very heavily bloated euro's, dem the facts

[yohoes]

'King of FWD'..

Gold medal at the special olympics, etc etc

[Stevil]

why u feel so insecure yohoes .... lol bloody GTR owners, good on Ford for giving it a crack, just a bit heavy for my liking

a recent review had this too say ..

' Of all the hot-hatches I've driven, the BMW M135i stands tallest in the fun department (rear-wheel drive is tough to beat) while the Focus RS and Honda Civic Type R feel like the most accomplished for blasting around a circuit.

But where the Civic Type R needs precision to really get the best from it, the Focus RS can be driven by an idiot and it would still make them look good (unless they hit a road cone). That's not to say there won't be lots of Focus RS cars written off while their drivers attempt to go sideways, of course.'
