Hi I am looking for a new car and thinking about a Type R honda civic.

I have between £5,000 & £7,000 to spend.

Anyone have any advice, problems or what to look for.

Thanks
 
dale thanks :)

I have a Mondeo ST24 and it DRINKS juice so the Type R will be less on my pocket compared to the Mondeo. I am 26 with 9years no clams and no points so all good :)

I will go for the face lift and look for the aircon, Regards the chip. Standard is 197bhp how much can i get from the Type R with say £1000

Thanks again, I am pretty sre on the Type R so now have to get looking.
 
cheers FOX, i must admit i did think the fuel was going to be a lot better than the mondeo.

Dave, cheers.

Dale, I will see how the buying goes. I would sooner spend the extra money and get a better condition civic. Ill defo look into the chip :)

Melchy, I did look at them but I just feel its time to go for a honda. Had a clio 1.8 16v few years back and loved it. Just honda gets my money this time :)

Thanks everyone for input, I plan to have a look at a few in the next few weeks and see if I can get a decent one for my money.
 
Thanks again everyone for the input, I cant believe this is a computer forum and im getting all this great advice.

A friend had the 172 and although it went well I just am not aure on another clio. I think I am just going to try the Honda. I have never had a Honda and for 7k I really think a Type R is a Bargain.

I will get looking next weekend and see what I can find, I am hoping to stick to around 7k limit and get the facelift model.

I would like one with no more than 60k but we will see.
