November 2007

Did you get a good deal and why?

Got what I believe to be a great deal, extra treatment, supagaurd pack, 19'' upgraded alloys, type r mats.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Have previously owned Honda, great car, quick and reliable!

What was the dealer like?

Helpful, had a good feel and reletively hands off! The car sold it's self!

What's it like to drive?

Having owned the previous model I can confirm that this car handles very well indeed! As other Type R owners will tell you, there is no real point trying to hard in the wet as the tyres spin very easily, however the VSA on the new model does help on the greasy corners and will only kick at the very last moment therefore ou get to enjoy the real potential of the car! Looks great around town!

What's it like to park?

Not as easy as the previous model! There is less to se through the rear window, although is getting easier as the wing mirrors are almost twice the size! I am also cautous about the large alloys!

Have you had any problems with the car?

No

What's most practical about your car?

Has excellent luggage space and compartment in the boot which is hatched away, therefore you can whack the shopping underneath and not have to worry about broken eggs on the way home!!!

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

I love the 19'' Rage Alloys, one of my favorite features is the auto adjust volume on the audio system that responds according to the speed you are doing
