i really dont think its being screwed! that sound so harsh, its good that manafactures are listening to customers.

Getting screwed is when u buy a subaru Tribecca and in the first year they realise its the worst looking front ever and they change the whole front after its only been out a year!

and ur going on about 1" in alloys!

It happens with every brand dude, that is life! hardly call it getting screwed!

I'LL be interested in your opinion.The suspension ride has come into some criticism here(Current MOTOR Mag.) and overseas saying it is way too hard.Judging from reviews I'm sure the handling and roadholding will be very good.

if u buy a new car, inevitably it will be superceded.. sometimes its 2 yrs after u buy it, others its 6 months... it happens.... i bought my civiclast july n before year end the updated one came out with a couple of minor additions..doesnt make me enjoy my car any less

I have always thought that concept was funny when motor magazines complain that the suspension is to hard (not that the suspension is bad - that is another story). It is built as a sports car and not as a family car and as such expect it to be hard.

then i guess for those people who buy it then won't need to worry about changing their suspension if they want to do some light track work.

yeah its funny reviews, at the end of the day its just an opinion! we all have ours! i like the car in red, u dont u like it in silver ect.

Motor give some rubbish reviews and some good ones.
Id take the stigs review over motors!

We should have plates on ours this week, official release and advertising starts july then 2nd i believe.

Ill post up my thoughts after i take it for a spin.

the thing with hondas (which some ppl love n some ppl hate) is they have no torque down low.. peak torque in the type r is at 5500rpm ffs. for those that r going to fang it its ok but for an everyday car it wont seem that fast.... again thats always been a honda thing and it means the engines love to rev... waiting for ur view on it tho UNLS1... like all new civics, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, hope u enjoy it
