Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Look at the competition, VW Golf GTI for 20k, they are having a laugh! CTR far superior in every area and blows GTi away.
Costs
Low cost service, at the end of the day it's a Honda, not much goes wrong with them.

On the road
Driving
Sticks to the road like a magnet, steering is very responsive. A bit of transmission shunt but that has to be expected.
Performance
Great performance, just wants to go and go. Is like a scalded cat above 6000 rpm.

Living with it
Reliability
No real problems to report.
Image
There are loads on the roads now, but still turns heads, especially when you open her up. I am not impressed by the looks of the new civic, no doubt Honda will make the new type-r look just as good as the spawn of the devil looks this one has.
Comfort
Its a hot hatch not a micra, comfort is for wusses.
