Gone from a Nissan Micra to a........

[WHAT!!!]

Well this monday i got my self a new car, my micra has been a great little run about for a year and i've finaly pretty much got what i wanted soo can you guess what my upgrade was ? look below

From This.....







To this.....

Bit of a step up ?

Its a lovely car, drove my micra after driving the type r and could have sworn my seat was'nt all the way back but it was, just did'nt realise how cramped i was in the micra, well its not that bad but have way more space in the ciivic

[WHAT!!!]

hehe must admit the shape on the micra has grown on me, it also has a sunroof to which the Type R does'nt heheh

Nice upgrade. I prefer the other standard alloys on the Type-R, though.

I really like the new Civics, although the wheels look too big so do nothing for looks, they will also have a negative impact on handling - lose/lose situation.

 

[Fr0dders]

Is that a Type S or Type R ?

I think the badge on the back gives it away

I do prefer these 19" rages to be honest, i've seen both in the flesh and the standards just look abit plastic if that makes sense.

As for handling, i'll admit i've not driven on the standard 18"'s but in all honesty the car handles great, im not a nutcase who needs as much grip as can possibley be to go around corners and i do drive sensible with the odd occasion i put my foot down for abit of fun.

didnt spot the type R in his post, and i couldnt tell if the badge said R or S

To the OP: The Type R is a car that encourages, nay demands you thrash it. Go gingerly with it and gently learn your limits. Its a whole world away from your micra.

Those are the rage 19" wheels, the standard 18's aren't too bad, especially on the C/W edition.

The shape of these is growing on me but the interior is too big and cheap for my liking. At least the EP3 is a bit more basic and solid in comparison. Still, can't take away that they a decent car Congrats.

i have the silver version for comparison on standard alloys:

I can't get on with the styling on these at all. I think they've dated really badly

You must have bloody good eyes or the definition enhancing capabilities that only exists in film land

Very nice car, have to admit the shape is growing on me but the dash on the models I saw when my car was last in for a service weren't my cup of tea.

Nice upgrade, still can't decide if i like them tho, not exactly subtle is it? (says the guy with a full ST stripes )

 

[MrMoonX]

nice car, personally i dont like the spaceship dash on them but from the outside they look cool, I still prefer the old CTR

 

[lordrobs]

Very nice. Really want a go in one of these to see if I can get to grips with VTEC revvyness
