I think the old one was awful, handling was questionable and it looked like a suped up MPV with the majority now falling into the price band of people ruining them with even worse body kits.
I like it,and wouldnt mind a go of one,but in its class there is another car i'd rather own
The JDM civic type r saloon does looks loads better tho,and i can see that appealing to me more than a lot of other FWD saloons out there, but, i dont plan on owning another FWD car really
The original Type R is an awsome machine, and look MILES better then the likes of the Focus etc (the Cupra is sweet though), but the brand new Civic as a whole just doesnt do it for me.
It looks a bit weak design wise at the front and the back just looks plain stupid. If I were to buy a Type R it certainly wouldnt be the new shape.
yeah the phase 1 EP CTR was gorgeous (before they changed the front bumper,rear lights and wing mirror) and i do prefer that to this new one outside wise,but that interior is nice. But...... with the focus ST/RS more power is easily achieved
