Carpoint review. http://carpoint.com.au/car-review/2709412.aspx
I didn't know that it came with heated power side mirrors, a chilled glovebox, rain-sensing wipers and auto-lights. Very nice. Well equipped for the potential buyer in the 30's that has the cash for performance but wants the convenience too.
lol i have just sold a civic sport to my mrs, its on the ship now
and he younger bro cam in yesterday and bought a black CTR!
that driveway will look cool! haha
oh and the mum has a V6 accord
just came back from a 20min test drive in the CTR...
first impressions...what's going on with the door handle???
anyway, lets move on from the quality issues.
the engine, yes, it is responsive, but nothing too different to the TypeS K20Z1...if anything it feels the TypeS pulls harder, that's how i felt it anyway...the gearbox feels exactly the same as my TypeS, and 3rd gear has the two step notchy feeling, just like the typeS.
the VTEC comes in earlier, so maybe you think you're going faster, but I don't feel any difference. The seats...well, I find the Colt RalliArt has better seats than this...but i has side airbags..which is a good thing.
and I cannot see the speedometer...it gets blocked by the top the steering wheel...and the turning circle is about the same as the TypeS.
Now the good things about this car. It is true you have to see it in person to really see how nicely styled this car is. I drove a black one and it definitely looks good in black. Red would look good too.
the brake calipers with the TypeR on them looks pretty cool.
To me, this feel like my TypeS, just with a different interior and exterior...
But this is my opionion...so don't base your judgement on it.
how can u not see the speedo?
u do know the steering wheel is adjustable?
I find the type S seats are not supportive at all, not like the older recaros, the have always been writtin as not very good seats for support wise. i would be comparing the CTR seats to the Type S seats, not the colt lol
Good to see u had a test drive
u must love ur type s very much
i found the exhaust very different too, sound more agressive in the CTR
