Well I like it . . . . It's a from me
Love the purpose and aggression and there's lots of special detail to take in, which I also like.
For me, I'd want more of the red lines and highlights, used on the rear wing, on the side and bonnet to tie it all together.
Be a bit much for shopping at Tescos but as a car design it reminds me of things I used to draw and dream about as a kid . . .
But then I never entirely grew up

ha I think that's why I like it! Modern cars are all so good that they're almost boring so I guess I like seeing a car that excites the 9 year old in me..paulgs1000 wrote:Well I like it . . . . It's a from me

Now THAT is a great shout, Massive soft spot for the CRX. I think thats part of it, the hot hatch game has moved on so much where it's becoming hard to keep up and without the added wankology of vtec I guess its true to say they're compensating some ability with outright ostentatiousness to a degree..TitanTim wrote:It's orrable, the reviews of the standard car have been underwhelming whereby the Type R is always trying too hard whilst not been good at anything. Bring back the CRX

I've just done the "Race Car Experience " at Knockhill and did four laps in a '16 Civic and after driving most of the previous models I have to say that this is a massive leap forward, it stuck to the road like glue and a fair turn of speed up the straight, superb driving position and very easy to go fast. The very latest model in the pic is 10bhp up on the model I droveSilverzedtom wrote:I like the earlier Civic type R's when they were sleeker and had more simple lines... just way too much going on for me, Its like a collage of bolt on carbon and plastic. I'd love to have a blast around a track in one and I'd defiantly be checking it out if I saw it out on the road but I won't be saving the pennies any time soon. Just my take on it.
The current gen civic looks like it would roll all the way to the crash barriers around a fast tight bend
What do you mean "defiantly be checking it out" ?

It's one of the worst looking cars since the Austin Maxi.

Sounds like great fun and that it's got your approval performance wise.greg1953 wrote: What do you mean "defiantly be checking it out" ?
Sorry I meant definitely checking it out. I'm always admiring other cars around me at lights etc, and I'd definitely be admiring one of these if it rolled up next to me even if it's not a car I'd have any interest in owning

Not a fan of the current gen10 styling however this ringtime battle time is impressive, more so the brave driver, but still impressive...

Was that the one with the huge radiator grill?
Ah no, that was the Alegro Vanden Plas.
