Honda Civic Type-R (2001 - 2005) 2.0i VTEC 3d (AC) Owner Review

Not had this for too long, but I'm impressed. VTEC is very addictive when in high rev range, handles brilliantly always puts a smile on the face when pressing on. Practical cabin, like the storage space in the centre area in place of traditional gearstick. Gear position and gearbox superb. A bit harsh when you want a relaxing drive does pick up the bumps a fair bit although seats make up for it. Slightly cheap looking interior and feel. Turning circle not the best but you get used to it. Tyres are not cheap and uses oil when thrashing it up to VTEC. Dosile when you need it to be but be warned boy racers will try it on with you. Get it on a decent B road and it's immense on a Motorway it easily cruises at high speed but noise of tyres can get monotonous. Might uprate the breaks on mine, standard brakes lack a bit of feel to me. Heated mirrors a good thing to have, AC works well, not a fan of the standard fit radio, speakers are good but the face plate is a bit clumsy to use,overall all will consider another one maybe a later version of the EP3.
