Civic Type R is coming!

[EuroDude]

sik mate sik...... honda aus is doing something right

Half way there, the gap between the Jazz and Sedan Civic needs to be filled.

Honda should have started manufacturing the hatch series in Japan or Thailand and sold the whole range here to compete with other hatchbacks, i.e. focus, astra, pulsar..

im not a fan of this and dont know what the fuss is about.

for that money there are so many great second hand cars out there you could buy that would blow this thing away.

i love my hondas but i just think this ctr is a pos.

yeah im sure many people would buy a 2nd hand 350Z, EVO, WRX, etc but the fact is that its a hatch...why do you think people buy hot hatches? quality and performance the car itself is well rounded car...and its a different segment of the market and honda had to fill it in..its like why buy a DC5R or DC2R back then..when you know other cars on the market are quicker for the same price...

remember its a brand new car as well. that makes all the difference to some aswell

i like the interior

exterior is ok

power looks ok, but they can easily pump 160+ from a 2L dunno why they hold back so much.

and i liek the jdm type R version better than Uk


but YAY we are at least getting a type R. I was starting to hate mr Honda..

how much power is the jdm ctr pumping out?

...time for a another transplant

But the current sedan civic has better rear suspension doesnt it?

Same shit. MacPherson struts up front and multilink at the rear.

Spring and damper rates are more important differences between the two.

More people buy the New civic R , so when ppl crash we have more K series half cuts !!!!!

and i've seen it somewhere else to that the uk civic will use torsion beam rear from Jazz, so be interesting to see how it handles.
