Interior and everything are all good, very fancy/modern design (Thumb up in this category). However the power is a bit weak from stand still to 5000rpm, vtec simply kicks in at about 5xxx + rpm and the response is OKAY. Compare to the MPS3 and GTi (I have test driven both cars), this is definitely not my cup of tea. I understand we shouldn't compare N/A car with Turbo but Honda claimed this thing can reach 100km in 6.6secs. I don't see this thing would get any near to low 7's (It could reach 6.6 if I chuck in shitloads of mods). In conclusion, this CTR is sorta similar to the corolla sportivo. I would say there aren't much different between the two in terms of power. I am not here to cause any trouble with the civic Type R owners but for my personal opinion, Honda was a bit exaggerated about this CTR's performance.
