CTR - Motor Bang For Your Buck 2007

[yfin]

Another result for the CTR in Motor September 2007.

Ranked 6th in the $30-40k category.

0-100km in 7.7 sec
0-400m in 15.5 @ 148.4kph
0-1000m in 28.1 sec @ 189.7kph
80-120 (3rd) 4.8 sec
100km - 0 in 37.8 metres
Lap time 1:14.49 (Wakefield)
Apex speed 80.67km

All the cars in the article seem to run a bit slower than you expect (eg Mazda 3MPS ran 0-100 in 6.9sec and 14.8sec).

Comment by racing driver Luffy:

"It's okay. It makes a lot of noise and it feels quick, but it's not. The chassis balance is quite good, not much you can complain about, but I just don't like the ergonomics. The gearshift is too far away and I couldn't see the speedo. It simply doesn't live up to the reputation of the Type R name".

Good to see my VE SS won! Except for the brakes they like the SS.

There just so harsh on it..comparing it too a VE SS well obviously its going to lose.

Well the SS won the $40-65k category and overall.

The CTR came last in the $30-40k category so it was compared to similar cars - I`ll list them in a few min.

3rd Mini Cooper S
2nd Peugeot 207 Gti
1st Mazda 3 MPS

Golf GT has a very good motor in it.

0-100km in 7.7 sec
0-400m in 15.5 @ 148.4kph

Thats what your average falcadore is!

Its funny cause I seem to remember reading a motor review where they rate the civic better than the gti/Cooper s but here it ranks worse than the s/gt...go figure...

[Chris_typer]

The civic overall is a better car then all of the listed anyway..probably the only options I would look at are the Mazda 3 MPS and the 207 GTi..but besides that I'm still pretty happy with the car overall. Planning on getting an intake system and ECU chip put in soon and should bring the 0-100 down to prob around 7 secs and overall about 165Kw + .. so that in mind im still happy with the performance so far.

What was the lap time of the Aurion and 3MPS?

oh well that's life
but good to see that the CTR has done well

I dont think thats harsh at all...i do personally feel that the new CTR hatch is rubbish in comparison to the other R's that are out there.
It seems as tho the newer they are, the shitter they become.
Nothing beats the original.

I can't see the typr R-ness in this car apart from its engine and gearbox...
honestly who's Honda trying to fool...

[gelo]

i was told about the chassis of the hatch type R by ichishima

its pretty crap

This is the UK designed and made CTR. It's not what the Japanese wanted. That's why they made their own. The FD2R > EK9 anyway.
