Agreed. I was going to get a type R teg, but funds weren't as readily available as i thought >.<
you kunts are just too busy flippin burger pattys for me while im waiting in the drive through of mcdonalds in my s2k with my blonde bitch in the passenger seat.
Type R would be great as a first car!! I know everyone thinks that a p-plater with a powerful car = try to be a hero, but i wouldn't try and be some maddog in an xr6 there daddy bought them ^_^

Yeah, a Type R isn't powerful, but that doesn't stop kids from thinking they're race drivers and under-steering into a tree. This can happen in any car, sure, but it's more likely to happen if someone is driving a supposedly fast car. An XR6 is also a dangerous proposition. Kids should be made to drive something more sedate.
That issue aside, you're more likely to write your first car off than any other, and it's better to wreck something other than a poor Type R. I see girls with rich parents driving their new Audi TTs, and I wonder how long that car will last before its third low-speed collision.
I you get De sol or Teg +P plate. You'll get raped by insurance, pulled over by cops every 1/4 mile and crash when the vtec kicks in. Youll suffer the same on civvies but at least cheaper to insure...

Lol thats funny cos one of my best friends is driving her dads audi turbo. im pretty sure she cant even legally drive it but they only got one car in the family. It's fkn quick... had trouble keeping up just driving normally on the roads. It hits 60 five times faster than me with half as much throttle

I've got teg +p plate, never been pulled? maybe it's a QLD thing
Type R is a sick car. Not just for power, but for handling. Best FWD handling car going around back in the 90's and it would give all modern FWD's a run for their money.
Not a good option for first car IMO. You'll damage it. Everybody crashes eventually. Better off crashing an EK or an EG - something easily fixed.
Type R's (and Integras generally) also cost more to insure comprehensively (if you can get insurance on it at all). They carry a 'vehicle excess' extra of about $500 due to the amount of idiots that crash them.
DC2R wouldnt be that bad as a first car imo. Its not powerful and a stock one is fairly easy to drive. As long as you drive responsibly, i wouldn't worry too much about getting pulled over etc. Insurance might be abit high for p platers tho but if you like an r and the funds isnt restricting you, i say why not? :P
