I love them, always have and always will

Had a civic 1.6 inspire S for 2 months over xmas last year as a courtesy car and it was incredible, gearknob cudnt be better positioned and the rear legroom is immense as there is no transmission tunnel in the way.If i was to buy a new hot hatch i wud get a type R over any of the others, GR8 car

Hey Stuy

I seem to remember the CTR being quicker round a track than the new Golf... (top gear the other night).

Even being a massive Honda far though, the CTR is let down by a few minor points, that being, the feedback through the steering is sloppy & the steering itself is too soft.

Apart from that, fantastic, bullet proof engine, with masses of potential if you have the know-how

Leo.

I think the gearknob's great. All boxvans have had them for years. I had a blast in my mate's new one. more bark, less bite, they don't live up to the massive amount of hype they get.
