Type R and VTEC owners

[Sparky]

Got rid of the ST but, didnt go for a Type R in the end. Really didnt like the gearing although the ones i did test were great fun.

it was an iconic car that lived up to expectations, problem was you could only buy it in Japan.

haha, oh, indeed

What did you go for in the end?

E90 335i SE... much better for the task at hand

Mugen CRZ

would you drive one?

 

[BenjiSayers]

Front of that CRZ is ace and so is the back but I wish it had two bigger pipes coming out of the back similar to the rear like on the Mugen kit Noxia has put on his Civic.

I'd still happily be seen in one though.

 

[Noxia]

Spoiler just looks way too high. Only 300 being made though so I won't have to worry.

I really hope the new Civic Type R is a great car, although I expect the price tag to remain astronomically high. I paid £17k for my first Type R in 2004, seems you have to pay near to £26k to tick all the options on the latest hot hatches which is ridiculous. For that money I'd be looking at something that's not FWD and have 'Civic' on the boot.

Perhaps a Golf R at 40k?

I would... but most people would not, there was talk of one for here but it's died a death. Just not enough demand in the company car market for the price

VW and Audi always seem to cost a fortune. For £40k I definitely wouldn't buy a hot hatch.

F20 M135i... Have to be the 3dr Hatch though

More of a Coupe than a hatch isn't it? Very nice cars though.

not that can of worms again

No its a M135i not a 1M.

Its the very definition of a hatchback.

 

[ChrisD.]

Oh that ugly thing? I thought you meant this one:

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Its generally easier if we stick to the names BMW give their cars....

I dont even get the can of worms comment either the 1 series could no be clearly between the Coupe and Hatch, there is no muddy middle ground of one car trying to be both!

Scraped the car today coming out of my place, been doing it for nearly a year with not a single contact, lack of concentration and a big mark on my OSF rear wing - there goes my brake up grade money on getting it fixed

Like 'Life cycle improvement'

Pretty obvious what he's talking about if it's not valid in this case - it's a hot topic that get's lots of press coverage

that comment was in reference to a huge thread on here about the differences between a hatch and a coupe.

it was a joke
